It just goes to show what a couple days and frenetic lottery ticket buying fever does for jackpots – on Wednesday the forecast for today’s Mega Millions jackpot was expected to reach an unbelievable $476 MILLION – a new world lottery record! Well it appears that lottery tickets are flying out of the print terminals faster than green grass through a goose which means that the jackpot for today’s Mega Millions draw has been revised upwards and has now reached a staggering, $540,000,000 – that’s FIVE HUNDRED and FORTY MILLION dollars!

FIVE HUNDRED and FORTY MILLION bucks! DING DONG – that might just be enough to pay for a full tank of gasoline, with maybe a bit left over for your electric bill and a small contribution towards your credit card account; well perhaps I’m a touch optimistic with the credit card bit – a bit of lottery fever and you see how easy it is to get carried away!

I guess we also need to revise the size of the dollar stack – if $476 MILLION dollars piled on top of each other makes a stack 34.4 miles high then $540 million bucks stands another 2.5 miles taller to reach 36.9 miles into the sky. Now that really is reaching for the stars!

Well you’ll be pleased to know there’s still time to get in on the Mega Millions action; the good news is you don’t have to wait in any of the long queues at lottery vendors to get your ticket for tonight’s draw – you can play right now, right here at WinTrillions just click the links, pick your numbers, sit back and enjoy the ride and who know by bedtime tonight you could be FIVE HUNDRED and FORTY MILLION dollars richer!

Well here’s a right how-do-you-do! The $34.5 MILLION jackpot winner of the Hoosier Lotto draw played on Feb. 18 came forward last Friday to collect his cheque; equal to the third largest jackpot payout in the history of Hoosier Lotto. Although the winner’s name was not released, a woman claiming to be his estranged wife stepped into the limelight yesterday and is now demanding a slice of the jackpot prize!

Holy mackerel! I guess the winner’s request for anonymity so that he can “maintain the even-keel of their lifestyle” is about disappear faster than a ferret down a rat hole!

The woman claims to have married the lotto winner on Feb. 14, 2008, and have two children together, who live with her. Apparently they have a rollercoaster on – off – on – off again relationship but have never been formally divorced and has now hired a Carmel attorney to help her collect what she believes is her rightful share of her estranged husband’s new-found wealth. Um er – what was that about an “even-keel lifestyle?”

The word from the attorney is, “As long as two parties are married, they have claims on what’s in the marital estate, in general, each party is entitled to an equal division of marital property at the time of separation under Indiana law.” So unless the couple can work out a settlement, it looks like it will be up to a court decide how expensive the divorce will be for the newly minted millionaire.

Now if you too want to become a newly minted millionaire then the fastest way to do that is to buy a lottery ticket and with 12 of the world’s biggest and richest lotteries being drawn later today you could well be a millionaire by bedtime!
