Things You Could Buy In Midland Odessa If You Won Mega Millions This Weekend

Everyone has office pools going, and people are stopping to buy tickets and get gas as the jackpot climbs into the 'interesting' range--as of this writing $421 Million. The cash option on that will be $290.9 Million. Stop and think about that for a minute... That kind of money is life-changing for sure-and Mega Millions allows you to remain anonymous when you claim your money... An option I would certainly choose because you don't need fake family members 'coming out of the woodwork' so to speak if you're announced the winner. There was a winner in Texas on Tuesday who won a Million by matching all 5 white balls but no one got the big prize... Also as of this writing you still have time to get your tickets--so hurry!

If you WERE lucky enough to hit it big-and you chose the cash option-I thought it would be fun to take a look around and see what you could buy here in Midland Odessa with all that cash burning a hole in your pocket... Of course, you'd want a house upgrade-so why not go all-in? Like this beauty at 10500 E County Road 120, Midland, TX 79706... 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 1 half bath, 797,148 square foot lot... Won't even make a dent in your winnings coming in at a mere $3,100,000.00.....

Now that you have the house--gotta get the car! Nothing says "I drip Money instead of sweat" like a Lamborghini Huracan... And this one's for sale in Houston. Not exactly right out our front door--but just THINK about how much FUN it'll be driving it back here!!! Just a smidge over $328,000.00.

Ah, one can dream. And that's exactly what I'm off to go do (after I buy my tickets of course.. Or, as my Mother-In-Law Margaret used to say when she was still with us--"Make my donation"). Because after all--we supposedly have better odds of being struck by lightning than winning the lottery. Good luck to you! See ya at Kent Kwik buying tickets!
