    WAY TO GO!

    Hopefully they won't have a recount from some shmoe who felt he should have won the prize. :-)

    And you can feel free to donate some of the bread to all of us starving techs and IT/IS managers slaving away...

    Congrats

    Why would you let winning the lottery get in the way from posting? This is a great place... btw.. why don't you donate some to the site?

    Cool

    It wasn't the FLA lottery I'll bet. If ya think ya did, better check your numbers again. The Nov 11 drawing was a roll over meaning no winning tickets. Nov 15 --- that's today is $10 million.

    Since you won the lottery, I'm guessing you'll have even more time to post! (-;

    PROTECH your correct, but I won over a month ago (the Jackpot was $7 Million). It taking a while because I will be getting the lump sum. I'm also splitting it with a few people, so I won't be getting the whole 3 Million. This is the first day I could tell anyone due to the fact it involved mutiple parties. Anyways I will have a retirement fund but I can't retire???

    In THAT case --- You LUCKY dog!!!! I have been trying forever and still trying. Enjoy it, and find yourself a good financial advisor. Personally, my thought, for what it is worth..... take only enough to live on for a year, put the rest in long term CD's until you REALLY know what you are going to do. Waiting a year will make a BIG difference in your thoughts and attitudes. I have many people that come into money, only to blow it out. Do yourself a BIG favor and get some GOOD financial advise.

    Whatever you do -- don't open a computer store.
