$636 Million Jackpot!

The second biggest prize in US history, after the record $656 million jackpot, was won in Chicago after buying a lottery ticket last minute Tuesday morning after a spike in sales ahead of the drawing. Over the weekend there had been 20% more chances sold than expected. Winning an enormous amount of cash such as this also brings an enormous responsibility and time of serious decision making of what all should be done with such a magnificent load of cash. Sometimes people find themselves giving so much that they find themselves more overwhelmed than before.
