JimL: Nope, wasn't me, thankfully. I don't think I would want to win that much money. First off, the state & fed taxes would be at least half of it. Of course, one would have to hire attorneys, investors & financial managers to handle it all. Managing that much money would be so highly complex a task that all those people could be dipping their hands into it left & right and you'd never know it. At my age, way too much grief & hassle.
I'm much rather win a million or two. The taxes would be a few hundred thousand off the top, DW & I could divide the rest up easily in our various accounts & live out our senior years very comfortably & no big hassles and worry. The kids & grand daughters could get what's left. Much more enjoyable.
