Don't worry just buy a ticket and if you win I'll collect the money and send it Western Union to you. :thumbup:

I have a pretty good idea what I'd do with it too!
One idea is get a new bag, some shoes and then pay 'E!' to NEVER show another Kim Kardashian show on television ever again! :lol:

Just seen this on the local news. A woman won $1m in Jan and bought a ticket that won $290k in the same store last week. Apparantly she managed to hand the ticket over to some guy while giving him a $100 handout, so it's in dispute who owns the ticket now...

I think so, but then all your family, friends and most of the Nigerian scammers will know who got the money. :ohmy::rofl:
