Glad to hear of your good fortune.

I can't believe the wife thing. How lucky are you. That's great.
Do something nice for her she deserves it.

My wife tells me that I shouldn't have my car....
Then she tells me I don't need that car.
You ready for my answer....
I told her your right, but i don't need you either and your still here.

I can't understand women. Don't try to.

Thanks everyone!! I was surprised myself, last time I won anything like that was when I was 17 and hit for $25k on $5 pick 4 in the MD lottery. Dad and I split it.

I am actually in the A&A SC GP that I had been saving for anyways, was kind of torn between SC and some CCW SP500's as I really do not drive the car but to work 6 miles; so now I can do both, will get the wheels and give the wife the rest for the her and the kids.

It is funny, I went to the store to get my mother-n-law some Ginger Ale and heard someone ask for a ticket so bought $20 random.

I do normally play the PowerBall in TN, since AL doesn't have lottery.

Congratulations, I like the idea of doing something special for your wife...that surprise could return you 10x in karma and modification $$$ later.
We won $500 in the first AZ lottery years ago just when we were trying to figure out how to buy new tires for our truck.

Congratulations! It's nice to know that people actually win at those things too, considering the most myself or another family member ever won was $50 on a scratch ticket.

I definitely agree you should do something extremly nice for your wife!
