Jackpot

Two winners in the latest Powerball drawing will each get lump sums of $60M. Imagine spending $10M right away and investing the remaining $50M in tax-free bonds that pay 3% a year (just to make up a number). That's an income of $1.5M a year.

It's amazing that anyone can go broke after winning the lottery, but people do.
