"Maybe go to Puerto rice buy the house next to the beach and everything and bring my family there, too."
"I'd buy new tires for my car."

"If someone wins, sign the back of your tickets, put your information on the back of your ticket, take a photo of the front and back of your ticket after you sign it, that way you have a time stamp recording that you had this winning ticket.," said William Bracken, executive director of the Massachusetts State Lottery. "I would suggest contacting an attorney immediately and having the attorney guide you through that one. My suggestion would be tell as little people as possible. If its a group, try to come to an agreement that nobody's going to say anything to anyone because your life is going to change."
