It serms incredible to me to give over a billion dollars to a random person.

      I would be willing to fall on that sword for the unlucky soul that wins that lottery. I actually knew someone that won the 10 million publishers clearance house back in the 1980’s. Classic story of they were dirt poor before the win and dirt poorer about 5 years after the win. Banks lined up to give them loans and they took them all since the prize didn’t pay out in a lump sum. After the interest their yearly checks and more were gone… But they had “stuff” for awhile.
