I suppose I should have bought a Powerball ticket. I have enough problems without having to deal with hundreds of millions of dollars in cash.

If I did have matching numbers, even if there were several tickets sold that won part of the jackpot, nobody outsode of my family and attorney and broker would know about it. (My broker would have shat in his pants. We don't have a huge portfolio, but you would have seen $$ in his eyes.)
