Well it looks like it has been won!! Some lucky winner in South Carolina has done it, won the mega millions.
$913.7 Million dollars, wow. Whoever is holding that ticket just got a break for the rest of their lives. Do you live in South Carolina, could it be you? Better start checking those numbers, you may not have to go to work tomorrow.
What would you do with that much money. I imagine it could be quite hard dealing with that amount of money, people you haven't heard from in years would be standing on your porch. I wonder if you could stay anonymous with a win that size.
What do you think, would it be a good thing or bad, what would you do with that money?

South Carolina is a state that allows winners to remain anonymous to the public.

@MALUSE Pay off debt, start trust funds for the grand kids, help others out, there are many ways to have that money. Just because you have it doesn't mean you have to spend it to the extreme. Many can benefit from it but the ones you choose, not the ones who want to choose you!

Your so very right, you don't need a lot for yourself to live a good life but think of all the good one could do with that money. Donations they could make, how many people could profit. I would pay off my debt and buy each of my kids a house so I wouldn't have to worry about them when I am gone. I would know they were safe and in a place they could always call home. Nothing fancy, just a simple place. There are so many after that I could help as well with donations.

That is some lucky person. It is not me but if I did win that much money I would buy us a place that is all ours and make it secure from noise. I would do something for the stray animals. I would donate to the shelters for battered women and I would help those get free from the monsters that will not give them a divorce.

Thanks Cindy but I do not play the lottery anymore. I played with a friend once here but I was no good with the numbers I chose so we stopped it. I won one thing in my life and love what I won. I won my lion and brought him with me to Israel.

I'm guessing it will be a good thing for me. I'd invest most of it. Give some to family, loved ones, and friends. Contribute to charity.

I saw this on facebook and I thought it was pure genus:
Before stepping forward and claiming your lottery money (or telling anyone you won), call every one of your friends and family and tell them you have fallen on hard times and need to borrow $500. Of course, most--if not all--will probably tell you they can't or won't lend you the money. Then, about a week later, step forward and claim your lottery money. You will then rest easy knowing that if any of those friends and family come forward to hit you up for money, you can easily deny them without feeling guilty. In fact, most would probably be too ashamed to ask for money knowing they just denied loaning you $500.

@cintol Exactly! They wouldn't dare ask for a piece of the lottery winnings knowing they just turned you down for a loan of $500.

Just like here in The Philippines, the biggest every lotto jackpot which is more than 1 billion pesos were won by two person. They will have their paradise now.

So much that it will benefit up to their 4th generations.

A lot of people say that it ruins lives. But I hope the SC winner finds it to be a blessing.

Yes, they would never have to work again but I think I would get a volunteering job or something just to keep busy.

If I won that much money I'd cut down on the amount of hours overtime I work!

Just cut down, you wouldn't quit and find something you really enjoyed doing??

I think it would be hard to live it down..you would probably have people crawling out of the woodwork wanting donations.

Thats why it would be better to stay anonymous so that wouldn't happen. I couldn't imagine having that much money all at once.

That state does allow them to stay anonymous. If I won I would pay everything off that I owe then go house shopping somewhere that stays warmer all year. My family could not bother me then either.After I got there I would probably start a rescue for critters and deserving humans.

That would be nice Eva and you would be great at that as much as you care for animals.

If I would have won I would have done so much good. I know about 5 mylotters I would have bought home for. I would have have millions to St. Jude`s. And so much more. That is enough money to make a difference in so many peoples lives.

Exactly, one person alone could not possible spend that much money on themselves, I hope whoever won it uses it to help others as well as themselves. Spread the wealth around for those in need
