Well there goes another three bucks ($2 ticket + $1 multiplier). I don’t know who is going to win all the loot. But unless they have the good fortune to live in a state that allows them to stay anonymous, I would suggest the first expenditure be on a couple of well trained bodyguards for them and their family.

Yes, I know what you mean.

I don’t understand the “Multiplier”. Will you explain it to me?

Yes, as we've seen with other big lotto winners, "winning" brings its own set of problems.

I always get a kick out if people who, when fantasizing about winning millions, wonder how they'll deal with the onslaught of moochers coming out of the woodwork begging for a handout.

I'd deal with them in one of two ways: "No." And "Get the hell out of here before I have you arrested."

That includes relatives.
