True story: I have a neighbor (about a quarter mile up the road) who won the New Jersey Lottery's big prize not once, but twice. $13M total. This goes back maybe 20 years now. Nice guy, too. Owns a roofing business. Did the roof on my house 16 years ago. He and his wife still work.

I mean really. It's nice to not have to work. But what else are you going to do. Work gives you a sense of purpose and pride in your accomplishments.

Alas, I did not win.
Doomed to a lifetime of taking my own photos, without the aid of a highly paid oaf.
Woe is me.

Odds: each ticket has the same odds. You can buy 100 tickets and each ticket has the exact same odds. The only way to lower the odds is to buy Every number combination there is. Problem is you couldn't do it in time as there are 15 million combinations I believe.

I'd be happy with a Pentax LX in perfect working condition and a suite of SMC/M lenses.

'Going back to work' isn't necessarily something I see as admirable. It is what it is, but instinctively I've got more respect for people who make the most of their wealth in life experiences (and charity, natch).
If I hit a big jackpot, I might settle down and open up a gallery that made art available to the average person. But I'd spend a good chunk of time exploring first. I want months in Japan and New Zealand/Australia and a solid year in Europe, before we even get to driving across the US multiple times. I hear there's a coastal city in Chile that's pretty much the South American San Francisco, too...
Of course, I'm young(ish), single and have no kids. So I can wander through Europe without worrying about Timmy getting to school.
