    Georgia Lottery officials say the jackpot reached $500 million on Wednesday. It has rolled 18 times since Marcia Adams of College Park won $72 million in the Jan. 24 drawing.

    A winner could get $19.2 million a year for 26 years or a single payment worth $359 million. The next drawing is Friday at 11 p.m.

    Previously, the largest jackpot was $390 million, won by two players in Georgia and New Jersey in March 2007.

    I predict the winners will once again, be a group of workers who pooled their money.

    9M for me, 50M for a scholarship endowment preschool-sem/kollel, 50M for a Tomchei Shabbos/Bikur Cholim endowment, 150M to buy and subsidize rental properties in Yerushalayim, and 50M for the legal fund when everyone and their mishpacha sues for their share…

    If the prize is now around $380M after taxes, it may be actuarially sound to buy a ticket!

    I don’t normally like fantasizing. But for clear thinking, i would say that if a good person, who is a jew, won it, he should take 9 miilion for himself per year, followed by 10 million for mosdos and individuals. I mean, IF he would do this, then the whole jewish world could be saved a significant amount from impending financial doom, wouldn’t it?
