Wow! An just like that, this person became an overnight billionaire

“Lucky”? A stunning lack of hyperbole here from skynews C’mon!! “Lucky” is when you are late for your train but the train is still waiting. “Lucky” is finding £20 in the jeans you were about to put in the washing machine. Winning over a billion quid is a tad more than “Lucky”

I hope they donate some to good causes...the people on the ground not the top dog.....life changer for sure 🎉🎊🎈

Hope he visits. 🇬🇧

US lottery jackpot hits record $1.6bnThe Mega Millions competition hits a record sum after failing to produce a jackpot winner since July. Screw the 1.6B- just to win 1/100 of that would care for me for the rest of my life. Whoever wins this will be the one who picks it using a left hand from the retailer and must have borrowed money in the last one week What's that after the taxes? $20?

Skyscrapers, space trips and sports teams: The $1.6bn lottery jackpot shopping listThe US equivalent of the National Lottery has built up a potential jackpot prize of $1.6bn (£1.2bn) - what could you buy with it? I've bought a few tickets for this mega-jackpot and if I won I would : 1. Share millions with my family 2. Create a Charitable Foundation which rescues abused animals and set up a task force to hunt down and arrest poachers and animal abusers 3. Help families with sick children This is incorrect. They have to pay 38% tax straight away so would only receive $561 mil as a lump sum. Bagsy mine.
