So, after playing (and, of course, not winning) tonight's $179 million Mega Millions game, I was wondering - do any of you know anyone (friends, relatives) who has struck it big through the lottery. I mean big, not $1,000. I guess my circle of friends isn't a lottery playing group...but I always wonder, who are these people winning $50 mil., $100 mil., etc? Is it usually the trucker/construction worker type from Georgia? (Sorry for the stereotype, but you know what I mean).
I'm just curious because, living in a Mega Millions state, I see that jackpot constantly reloading throughout the year (it restarts at $12 million minimum)...so who is winning these things?
