How long can you hold a lottery ticket? This Tampa man almost won a full Powerball prize and has been awarded $1 Million back from October.
Remember that single winner of the largest lottery jackpot ever a few months back? One person won $2.04 billion dollars. One person…
While it’s not quite 2 billion bux, last night’s winning numbers did make several people across the country a bit more likely to venture out past the dollar menu. There was not a big winner, but several new millionaires were created last night via the Mega Millions lottery. One of them lives right here in Florida! The jackpot will now grow to $640 million dollars and the next drawing is will be held this Friday. If the winner opts for cash, they would would receive one lump sum of $328.3 million dollars. The winning numbers for last night’s drawing were 9-13-36-59-61 and the Mega Ball was 11.
When jackpots rise, so do ticket sales, so expect the total drawing amount to increase very quickly with each passing week without a winner. Admittedly, your chance of winning the jackpot is quite small. In fact, it’s currently one in 302 million-ish. Last night’s drawing was among the largest Mega Millions dreawings of all time. POwerball, meanwhile, is currently sitting at $215 million dollars. While both jackpots are huge, for sure, they pale by comparison to the largest lottery winnings of all time.
As mentioned earlier, a single ticket was sold to a California man a few months ago, landing him a gargantuan $2.08 BILLION dollars. The man took his time to come forward, waiting almost 60 days just to claim the prize. The remaining Top 5 lottery winnings all hover around the $1.3-$1.5 billion dollar mark.
Experts say it’s best to hire a financial advisor, an attorney and a tax specialist as soon as possible after finding out you’ve won the lottery, even before claiming the money. Many winners go broke after only a short time, that’s why it’s best to keep a level head and plan your future before acting impulsively. Source: WTSP.com

Here Are The Top 20 Best U.S. Cities for Dive Bars
Duh
Sean Roberts was conceived in the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky by two passionate, panel aligning, third shifters who had grown bored with the same ole same ole. Upon birth, he was placed in the trunk of a new Stingray and sent off to find his destiny.
That destiny included several stints on radio stations across the United States. Some played punk country gospel, while others focused on Croatian death metal played backwards.
After many years and many adventures, Sean wound up on The Shark, where he does shots of tequila while playing the most badass tunes ever created by humankind.
He remains humble, however, never forgetting about the lean years...the street corners and dark alleys where he played songs on his car stereo for food and sex.
He's on top and he's never gonna stop LIVING THE DREAM!
