by: admin - Category:

Lottery fans may be fizzling with excitement about the USA Mega Millions draw tomorrow (November 8th), because the top prize has jumped to an impressive $15 million.

Likely as not, the majority of lotto lovers will already have a mental shopping list for all the wonderful things they will be able to buy with their winnings when lady luck calls in one of these days, but for those who would not know where to start, the lottery has come up with some ideas.

New York residents could – if their appetite was big enough – guzzle more than four million hot dogs from Nathan’s at Coney Island, or even buy one prime season ticket for the New York Yankees and another for the New York Mets for each of the next 1,374 baseball seasons.

Lotto fans from Michigan who have a sweet tooth could sink a ship with 1.9 million pounds of Mackinac Island fudge, or take 7,000 of their closest friends on a six-day cruise on Lake Michigan.

Enterprising lottery winners might want to use their $15 million USA Mega Millions jackpot to pan for gold in Dahlonega, Georgia, where they could hunt for the precious metal two million times at the home of the first American gold rush.

For some, dining out on a seafood dinner is what makes a special occasion and in Maryland a lucky lotto player could chow down on 2.4 million steamed crabs, or they may prefer splashing out on 300,000 club-level tickets to the Baltimore Orioles games.

California is already home to a glut of fabulously wealthy individuals, so there is plenty there for a lotto winner to do with a fistful of cash, including attending 13,047 weeks of summer surf camp near San Diego or buying a five-bedroom and eight-bath 6,000 sq ft mansion in Beverly Hills.

If any of this sounds like fun then lottery fans should make sure they have their lucky numbers ready for the next USA Mega Millions draw to be in with a chance of scooping the $15 million jackpot.
