Re: Estimated jackpot $356 million

That's actually a terrifying amount of money. I think I'd rather win one of the "small" ones, to be honest. A couple mil is something I can just about wrap my head around.

If I win I'm managing. I seem to do a good job every night watching the Reds. I'll hire a GM for the dirty work of contract negotiations.

Re: Estimated jackpot $356 million

I wouldn't want anyone to know I just won 640 million dollars, that would kinda suck. I wonder if there's an option to remain anonymous.

Talk about making you and your entire family kidnap targets.

True, but you would have enough money to pimp out your security. I know I would hire some guys with ear pieces to protect me, lol.

Some states including Ohio allow you to claim your winnings anonymously

Re: Estimated jackpot $356 million

Funniest thing I've read all day was from a twitter account that's a parody Mike Brown account:

"Don't worry #bengals fans, if I win the Mega Millions I'm still keeping my job as GM."
