I didn't win (unless I sleep-drove to South Carolina and sleep-bought a lottery ticket) but I'm a little disappointed for them in that winning 1.6b didn't in fact end up making them a billionaire!

Sticking it in a savings account for a year or two will do the trick. :)

We did the match on this at work (though we used 1b) 900m in a savings account gathering 2% interest. = 49,315.00 a day.

After reading stories of people who’ve won large lotteries, I’m not convinced this is good news.

Congratulations to the
#SouthCarolina winner(s). May he/she/they use their sudden good fortune wisely. (It’s amazing that with the volume of tickets sold only one matched all numbers. -
How many tickets were sold?
-
I haven’t found the number yet;gotta go to a meeting. But consider this factoid: “Virginia Lottery officials said as many as 12,700 tickets were being sold per minute at the sales peak in that state”. PS I’ll try to find the number later.

I wish I won this and my state participated so I could rid myself of student debt.

I hope it's some very large group of people who each get a share. Otherwise, prepare for something like this:http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/11/28/500-million-powerball-jackpot-the-tragic-stories-of-the-lotterys-unluckiest-winners/ …
