“The giddy round of Fortune’s wheel.” – The Rape of Lucrece

I don’t normally follow lotteries, but I have to admit, I was hoping no one would win yesterday’s Powerball, just so that the pot could ratchet up to $1 billion.  A $1 billion lottery prize; that would have been cool!  As it happens, someone in Florida did apparently win.  Good luck, mystery winner, figuring out what to do with all that money.  History (and academic research) has shown that not everyone actually knows how to handle it.
