    Didn't buy a ticket. I don't need the headache. I have enough relatives.

    When I was driving I would entertain myself for hours figuring out the plan if I were to win a lottery. It is well worth the $5 or so per week I spend on that frivolous item for the fun.
    I tend to play the jackpots that rarely exceed $500K. Anything as large as even the starting jackpot for Mega Millions would ruin you and your family. Targets for kidnapping, never ending scams, full time job just to hide from the riff-raff. No one notices a couple of hundred $K after taxes. That is all I need.

    I remember reading a story about a big winner. He said it was a full-time job just managing the money.
