Share:
A 20-year-old from Florida says he plans to ‘have some fun after being named the sole winner of the $451m (£330m) jackpot.
Shane Missler matched five numbers and a bonus ball to grab the fourth largest pot in the US game’s history. He opted to received a one time payment of $282 million, instead of the full amount over a longer period. He said he had a feeling he could win on the night of the Mega Millions draw, a press release has stated.
The winning balls were 28, 30, 39, 59 and 70 with a Mega Ball of 10.
In a statement, he said:
“I’m only 20, but I hope to use it to pursue a variety of passions, help my family and do some good for humanity,”
Which is neat.
Here’s all the stuff you could buy with that amount of cash. And don’t judge because we both know you would too.
With that amount of money, you could buy approximately 52,319,109 Whoppers from Burger King. And yes, that is the meal, we’re living in luxury now. You could purchase 65,734,265 20 chicken nugget share boxes from McDonald’s. Last food item, you could potentially order enough grilled duck ramen from Wagamama’s for every day you’re alive. That’s 21,776,061 orders of delicious ramen.

Do you have any idea how many figures I’d buy with that amount of cash?
Look at how cool these things are.
Plus, I suppose you could buy your own house, never have to work again, have your own live in chef, pay off any debts and spend the money sensibly.
Or, if you’re in the UK you could buy 204,309,333 £1 lottery tickets and potentially break the system.
Just a thought.
What would you spend Mega Millions cash on? A house? Clothes? Enough Kinder chocolate to fill a swimming pool? A swimming pool?
The possibilities are endless.
