答疑：xyfxyfxyf123How do you spend $640 million? That's what the world's luckiest winners will be fantasising about today. Not only are they rich beyond their wildest dreams, but they defied the odds.  
"Well, the odds are about one in 175 million. So that means you're about 100 times more likely to die of a flesh-eating bacteria than you are to win the lottery."
"It's a lot less fun also."
"To put that in perspective, if you circle the equator buying a ticket every single mile, you'll need to circle the globe 7,000 times to guarantee victory."
42 of the 50 states took part in the draw. In places like Nevada which didn't take part, there were reports of people driving to the border just to get their hands on some tickets. From coast to coast, they were queuing out of the shops. They all said it was worth it.
"Why am I waiting this long? Because just like everybody else somewhere, we have big dreams, big dreams of starting over, big dreams to buy whatever we want."
Then the moment came and millions were glued to their television sets.你会如何花费6.4亿美元？这是今天世界上最幸运的赢家才能幻想得到的数量。这些赢家不仅能一夜暴富，还将不可能变为可能。
“中奖率是1.75亿分之一，这意味着一个人死于食肉菌的概率都比中头奖的概率高一百倍。”
“这也减少了很多趣味。”
“要正确看待这个概率的话，就是如果你绕着赤道每英里买一张彩票，你得绕地球7000圈才能中奖。”
美国50个州中有42个州发售此彩票。在诸如内华达等不参与发售的地方，有报道称人们驱车前往邻近的州以买到彩票。全国各地均可看到人们的队伍排到店外的情景，他们说这是值得的。
“为什么我会等这么长时间？因为就像队伍中的每个人一样，我们有很大的梦想，重新生活的梦想，想买什么就能买什么的梦想。”
随后，开奖的时刻到来，千千万万的人们在电视机前全神贯注，等待梦想实现的瞬间。
