There was no MegaMillions jackpot winner yesterday so now they're saying the winnings will pass the $1 BILLION mark by the next drawing. That's a lot of money. You're going to need some ideas on how to spend it. That's what we're here for.

Build your own private Howard Frankland Bridge

The new bridge will have eight lanes and is expected to be finished by the end of 2025 and is expected to cost about $865 million.

Maybe you could grease some of the local politicians and build your own bridge.  Imagine never getting stuck in that traffic ever again when you go to work.  Actually you probably won't need to work anymore so this is probably a bad idea.

Plus you'd still have about $135 million left.

Buy Lightning Season Tickets For Everyone Who Lives in Clearwater

Feeling generous? Spread the love of Tampa Bay Lightning hockey. You could get everyone in Clearwater hooked up with primo promenade level seats for a full season. That'd come out to about $739,246,464. You'd still have over $260 million left over. Plus Amalie Arena doesn't fit 116,000 people. And Lightning season tickets are on a wait list ... even for rich folks like you. So this probably won't work out.

Treat Every Seffner Resident To a Meal at Bern's Every Night For a Year

We're talking a shrimp cocktail as an appetizer, some Maine lobster bisque, a tableside Caesar salad, a 14 ounce 100 day dry-aged Delmonico steak with truffled herb butter, and a banana cheese pie for dessert. Oh and we can't forget the wine, so add a glass of Duckhorn 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa too. We're adding in the 20% tip too.   This meal every night for a year for everyone in Seffner.  And you'd still have $219 million left over.  Maybe we should have gone with the whole bottle of Cabernet. Plus I only know like 2 people in Seffner. Let's move on.
