Playing the game of Mega-Millions can make you very rich. You may win a small pot of $40 million or hit a massive jackpot of hundreds of millions. Mega-Millions is played in various locations. The drawings take place twice per week. Many times, people purchase the $2 ticket on the spur of the moment and never give it another thought. They put the ticket in their pocket or purse and go on about their business. If that ticket hits, they are winners. But, if they do not remember to check it and the prize goes unclaimed, the prize gets higher for the next game.

buy your own private island. Buying a private island is not as unusual as you may think. But buying a beautiful private island in a beautiful part of the world where tropical weather awaits you every day is a bit tougher. If you find an island that carries a price tag of $100,000 or less, you might want to look again. It may be that the island is in an area that does not allow you to develop the land or to build upon it. It may be in an area that gets slammed with storms several months each year. Our advice: look to the Bahamas or the South Pacific. Johnny Depp owns a private island in the Bahamas that he purchased for $3.6 million. Eddy Murphy bought his Bahama paradise for $15 million.

No one wants to be “last season”; Mega-Millions has made a lot of people rich.

give your family unique holiday gifts. How would you like to give your son a killer whale or a black bear for his holiday gift? Maybe your daughter would like a crafty little red fox, or grandpa would like to fill his yard with bison. OK, this is not an extravagant gift. In fact, anyone can make these purchases. Adopt An Animal at the Canadian Wildlife Federation. The gift comes with a stuffed animal in the species of your choice, and adoption certificate and the money goes to Federation to protect and help these animals to stay healthy. It would be a great way to spend your $200 million—or, at least, a portion of it.
