    A huge Congratulations to the winner or syndicate of this great win from Florida. I hope (and only hope) it can give you future security.

    $590.5 MILLION (Even though it is Taxed) is an absolutely amazing amount of money to win; even in these times.

    When I found out about this on the CBS Evening News on Friday via Sky News; my jaws nearly fell to the floor. How Can American people like that win so much money?

    It is simply mind boggling.
