7 hard working dudes and 1 hard working dudette.
one of the winners was female.
 
Interestingly, a couple of them are immigrants (one from Vietnam and another from Central Africa) who came to the US in search of better lives.

Some say that winning the lottery only screws up your life but at least this gives them a better opportunity.

Yeah, three immigrants in all. I was reading the CNN article earlier today and they only mentioned where two of them were from.

you are right. many think 15mil is a ton of money (well it is) and go out and blow it.

They buy houses new cars for friends and family etc. they quit work and live high on the money. trouble is it will run out.

though if you are careful 15 mil is enough to live on if you do not go crazy.
 
hm.. 15 mil. if you just put it in ING direct, each year you are collecting 570K of interest.... wow. that's a lot.

I'd spend $1 million right off the bat on friends and family and invest the rest.

Yeah, I'd definitely setup college funds for my kids, pay off my house and some of my family's house, donate some, and just invest the rest. I'd have to work in some capacity though. I don't think I could essentially retire at the age of 31.

We'd probably buy a home here and somewhere else in the USA where it's sunny either SD, Phoenix or Vegas. Travel for a few years then settle down in Australia or somewhere in the USA. Would be so nice to be able to sleep in every single day!

at least it went to people who could probably really use it.

yeh, i was glad to see that they were the winners. they all look like nice working class people who probably didn't have too much to their names until now.
 
1st pay off all my debts. build or buy a nice house and land. buy a nice car. nothing flashy or super espensive. then buy all the stuff i'v ever wanted and couldn't afford. probably do a good bit of travelling. definitely invest a good portion of it. liek someone else said, invest enough and you could probably make enough to live well off the interest.
i'd probably start my own business too.
