I hit the cash five in PA. a couple of years ago, for 250,000.00...... I think that was just enough money, we remodeled around the house, payed everything off and went on vacation. Still we have money left put back. I would never wish a big Jackpot like Powerball, or such, on anyone...... I here it is nothing but a curse to most people...... I would probably keep so much for my family, and give the rest away.

A lot of them lost everything because they did not know how to handle that much money. Some just blew it on anything and everything and gave it away.......they showed on TV once about a man that had won and he was living in the big house he bought with nothing in it......he blew everything but the house........don't remember if he sold it or not......just remember seeing the picture of him sitting alone in that house.....so sad.
They did not use good judgement and get a financial advisor to show them how to keep some of it invested etc.
Some of them had the good sense to do the right thing and are still pretty happy.
