Your island would be a huge landing zone for mail drops and paparazzi. Everyone would know you, you'd have your own Wikipedia page. You'd be so screwed. Keep your head down and your mouth shut and the money just may last a few years.

I would definitely build an awesome natural terrain road course. I'd have lots of car and motorcycle track toys. All my bro's and Pelican friends could hang out any time. We'd have a secret passphrase for entrance. If anyone gave out the passphrase, they'd be out. It would be pretty cool. There would also be dirt bikes and guns. Like Colin's setup: Camp Pictures - Texas Tornado Boot Camp

Maybe but someone will eventually win so why not you or me?

So what's the harm in tossing a couple of bucks at it every now and then?

Lighten up, have some fun.

Exactly! I think it's been two years since I have thrown any money at the lotto. I only do when the jackpots grow big like this. On the one hand, the more you play, the more likely you will win something, though probably still lose in the end.

For me, sure I could have put the $5 bucks to better use, but at $640M, I figured I'd give it a chance.

Never got the chance to buy some tickets.

It has been reported that a winning ticket was sold in Maryland. Others may pop up later...
