3. We got a couple for the powerball, and made a list of where
to give most of it away if we win, because we've seen way too many people turn into assholes when they get rich and we don't want it to happen to us.

One line item is to find out how many of the DUers out of the 78,000 are active rather than dormant, and send them 100 bucks each. That would total probably 5 to 7 million, which would hardly be missed from the 170 (roughly) million net after taxes.

Another thing, there sure won't be any hungry kids in our state if we win, and a whole lot of folks down south who got hit by the storm will have something, we don't know what, but something to help them get back on their feet.

4. HURRICANE, W.Va the Lottery Mecca
Pronounced Herr-i-kin by the locals (relatives live there)

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1110AP_Lottery_Jackpot.html

HURRICANE, W.Va. -- With $340 million up for grabs in the second-biggest lottery jackpot in U.S. history, people trekked to a small-town West Virginia convenience store to buy their tickets Tuesday in the apparent belief that lightning can strike twice in the same place.

Nearly three years ago, it was the C&L Super Serve in Hurricane that sold the ticket that made West Virginia contractor Jack Whittaker the winner of the nation's biggest undivided jackpot: $314.9 million in the multi-state Powerball lottery.
