it'll go over a billion if noone wins it.
then like 400 people will have the winning numbers and get a few mill a piece.

I got my tickets today, just $10 worth.
I was thinking today what other stuff I would use the money for. I have a friend who teaches computer maintenance and network tech at a rural vocational center. They are in need of better everything at the school. Not just in the computer program, but other programs like graphic arts, culinary, botany, diesel mechanic, etc. So if I won, I'd donate some money to fix up the school and make it a better place for students to learn. My friend was telling me some of his students have no heat during winter, some don't have indoor plumbing, or even electricity (can't afford). A majority of the students have some type of learning disability. That's rough. Vocational training is probably their only hope of bettering their lives too.

Honestly, I'd be prfectly happy with enough money to just pay off my debts (including mortgage - despite what fly says)
That's good and everything but just one thing: I do not understand this thinking that "lol vo-tech is for retards." It's really not. Seriously. A lot of people in subsidized vo-tech programs end up as go fers or "labour." Skilled trades actually requires a brain.

Sadly no. But they also don't know yet if that person is the sole winner. I wonder where in Baltimore County the ticket was purchased.

I was watching the Today Show this morning and all kinds of reporters were camped outside of a 7/11 in Greater Baltimore area (they weren't specific) where the winning ticket was sold.
In Maryland, lotto winners can remain anonymous.

What's the point of camping out there? Does he have to collect his winnings from the 7/11? I doubt they carry that much in cash.
News reporters like to report from the scene of the crime. Regardless if people care where it happened or not.
