Maryland sold one of the winning tickets for last night’s record-breaking $640 million Mega Millions jackpot, lottery officials said.
The lucky ticket was purchased at a retailer in Baltimore County, though officials did not immediately know where. That information could come out as early as Saturday morning.
The jackpot is considered the single largest in world history, according to lottery officials.
Officials are also waiting for information on jackpot winners from other Mega Millions states, they said.
"There are definitely a few winners from other states as well," said Erica Palmisano, a Maryland lottery spokeswoman.
The multi-state Mega Millions game is played in 44 states and jurisdictions, including Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and the District of Columbia. Last night’s winning numbers were 2-4-23-38-46 and Mega Ball 23.
“This is truly remarkable and historic,” said Maryland Lottery Director Stephen Martino said in a statement. “We can’t wait to greet the winner of this world-record setting jackpot.”[/quote]

Yeah, no, fuck that shit.
[QUOTE=Sickle;35366652]Yeah, no, fuck that shit.[/QUOTE]
What are you really gonna do with so much money? Like i'd be happy with a couple million to pay off the bills, house, nice car, and save the rest for a nice retirement on an island, but you dont need hundreds of millions for that.
Oh, wow! What a blessing
You can only imagine how your life will dramatically change with that sudden wealth

Exactly. I've figured I can live more than comfortably for the rest of my life on just 10 million.
My parents bought a few tickets. We live in Maryland, in Baltimore County too.
They didn't check their tickets yet either.
I will go to sleep imagining they did win.
I saw this then saw my friend saying she won on facebook almost immediately after. Almost shat bricks until she told me she was fucking with me. Somebody is about to be reintroduced to the kitchen.

Everybody says this beforehand, but once you have 356 million dollars in your hands, you won't give SHIT to charity except maybe a million.

Fuck that. I'm sick of being poor. I personally would invest a large part of mine in secure bonds and blow the rest on coke. That way il still get a nice check every month until I die.

At any rate... lucky fucks.
I wish I could win the lottery so I could finish my college degree without killing myself working full time and going to class full time.
I think I might give 50% of it away, maybe....
I feel sorry for this guy though

Guess I'll have to become rich the hard way.
I kinda wanted to see it grow and hit a billion.
Even with $10,000,000 I could live off ~140,000 a year for the next 70 years..

[QUOTE=usaokay;35367016]I feel really sorry to whoever won. People who know the winner will try to become moochers.
in fact, this is the scenario I think would happen

I wouldn't mind helping my closest friends out and have them live more comfortably, or helping them live their dreams which they might never reach otherwise.

Sounds like you didn't win the prize.
If i would get all that money i would start a kickstarter and ask for another 100 million so i can make a MMO game :downs:

Yeah great logic, lets go ask Bill Gates for a couple of billion because he don't need them
Now I'm hearing things about the winning ticket being from Illinois.
I would love for it to be from Illinois. Maybe my family won? Chances are no though.
