Mega million blessings.. and mega million curses all the same.. Do you REALLY wish you won the Mega Million lottery?

It’s most likely a hackneyed statement today: Whoever the three people who won the lottery may be, their lives are forever changed.

But that is just it.. 

Perhaps they should be on their way to hire security..maybe rent a Brinks truck to transport their ticket to officials? Maybe they should be looking for property on a deserted island—one that is not sinking of course due to earth changes..

All of these things may be going through their heads today.

After all just one day ago they were not a millionaire.. they were not three people sharing in the largest jackpot ever…

And their lives were normal. With debt. And all those things that go with typical humanhood.

Welcome to the new world.. Limos and fine foods? Fine wines? Fine chocolates? Fine mess they have gotten themselves into..

For the world of lottery winners is strewn with cautionary tales.. people who lost millions in a year, people who overspent their fortune too fast..people who couldn’t handle the spotlight and the limelight.. people who won a fortune but lost one at the same time.

Yes, three people (and maybe more depending on the circumstances) may be thinking today.

A blessing.

A curse.

Maybe one of them will re-think cashing in?

Faced with the fortune of a lifetime, what would you do?

Sharing the wealth: Sorry Maryland, you're not alone now..

Lottery ticket-holders in Kansas, Illinois and Maryland each selected the winning numbers.

Clintonville still shakes

Days after the town of Clintonville, Wisconsin, was told that a 1.5 quake was to blame for the loud booms that took place since late March of this year, the town once again is faced with more movement and more shaking, these booms the loudest yet according to some reports.

One resident told the Applton POST-CRESENT that the 1.5 explanation was enough for people to start living their lives again. But now with the new shaking since the town hall where the mayor told 400 all was ok, people are beginning to question what really may be taking place under their feet.

While no official explanation has come yet from the post 1.5 shaking, some suspect an earthquake swarm and multiple events.

On Tuesday of this week, police were inundated again with calls about loud booms shaking houses and rattling nerves. And on Friday morning, more calls were made about the same noises.

And now, finally, after all this time Clintonville heard these booms, the rest of the nation had to only guess what they sounded like (unless the earth has been making noise near you, too), ABC news’ website has a video of what may be the ‘boom’ in Clintonville.. Listen close

Though the Tshirts were already printed about how ‘we survived the 1.5’ it seems that the noises aren’t quite done, despite politicians and officials wrapping up the story with the bow of an earthquake.

Maryland lottery officials say a ticket purchased in Baltimore County hit the $640 million Mega Millions jackpot.

The winning Mega Millions numbers were 2, 4, 23, 38, 46 with a Mega Ball of 23

Things are just getting worse with the Trayvon case in Florida.. now Zimmerman's purported address being tweeted and retweeted by the likes of Spike Lee--an address where Zimmerman does not live at.. instead a 70-year-old couple, not associated with the killing, resides there!

This site so many times focuses on the world, and many times the universe, but neglects the news of my locality. The name is “coal speaker” for a reason.. this is based out of the deep dark mines of Pennsylvania. And today, those deep dark mines had a tragedy.

Four people, three of them children—and one of them seven months old—died in a large fire tore through five homes in Shenandoah, PA..

An eight year old escaped through a window.. but four other souls have gone.. 

The thought of so much loss happening so fast.. is something I cannot grapple with.

Thoughts tonight with the people hurt and hit by this awful event.

Some old theories on how the moon formed are still around.. but we know this: We don't really, truly know how exactly the moon formed

This is a massively big story for many reasons: Microsoft employees, accompanied by United States marshals, raided two nondescript office buildings in Pennsylvania and Illinois on Friday, aiming to disrupt one of the most pernicious forms of online crime today — botnets, or groups of computers that help harvest bank account passwords and other personal information from millions of other computers
