Mega Millions has historic $480 million jackpot
Mega Millions has historic jackpot and Delaware Valley residents discuss how they would spend $480 million.
CAMDEN COUNTY, N.J. - A big chunk of change is on the line as the 10th largest prize in the 20-year history of Mega Millions is up for grabs Friday, in an estimated $480 million jackpot.
What would you do with all that cash?
"First, I’d buy a new shore house, right on the beach and, maybe, get a boat to go with it," Steve Souchuck noted. "You know, take family and friends on vacation and just enjoy life."
"I’d probably try to give as much as I could to friends and family. If I’m being honest, I don’t need all that. And, then just finding ways to invest that, let it grow. Probably real estate. I don’t know anything better," explained Zain Shaik.
Of course, the cost of everything is going up, as we cope with inflation at 9.1 percent, a record high, according to experts.
So, would that alter your big spending, if you won?
"A little bit. Yeah, it does. But, with that kind of money, I mean, really? If you won the whole jackpot, you could put that away and your kids, kids and kids can spend it, if you invest it the right way," Souchuck added.
