The Mega Millions Lotto Frenzy, or "Aww i only won $7???"?

So after three weeks of headline news, the final jackpot of $640 million (estimated) has been won. Tickets were sold in three locations:

Red Bud, Illinois (quick pick)
Baltimore County, Maryland
Northeast Kansas

Winning number 2-4-23-38-46, Mega Ball 23.

The odds of the mega number being the same as the first 5 were pretty rare. but then again, so are all the numbers. I myself was part of three separate pools, with my office's $5 being the largest (18 tickets).

Alas, none of us got even close to a "jackpot". Two got 3 numbers, which netted $7 each. getting the megaball number got us $2, and one megaball & one number got us $3. A lot of other people i've seen on fb got small amounts, and no doubt anyone participating in one of history's largest lotto fever won something. But how do you split such small winnings among a group of  people?

Well, here's a few fair ways:

• dozen donuts
• a ton of donut holes
• bucket of KFC
• water balloons for a water balloon fight
• more lotto tickets
• scratchers
• a 6-pack of beer
• cookies
• a trip to dave & busters

Of course, you can always ask for pennies at your local bank and be that cheap. Until the next half-billion dollar jackpot...
