$588 Milion Jackpot

Can you imagine after taxes, depositing a 136.5 million dollar check into your savings account? I sure as hell can't. Cindy and Mark Hill, the couple out of Missouri that are taking home half of the record breaking jackpot are set for life. I read an article today about how they want to "live normally." As much as I like to think that I wouldn't change my lifestyle, or even change as a person, I don't know if after winning that much money if you can really live normally. Their consumer behavior could completely change, they'll never have to worry about buying products that are cheaper or on sale.  I wonder if their brand loyalty will change? The lottery is an overwhelming idea to me, instant gratification, people go crazy with lots of money. I hope for Mark and Cindy that they will be able to "live normally," make smart financial decisions, for them and their children, and avoid the dreadful lottery curse.
