You can buy a 599 for $388,888....

But I agree, tough crowd. While it isn't superlotto winnings, I'd be happy with almost $400k

If you read right, I said $388,888 which is 50% of $777,777

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=u...&standard=false

So, yes, you could find a 599 if you tried. Because you don't have to have the most mint of Ferrari's... and if you do research I'm sure you could find one, OTD, for <$350k

Also:

http://www.lotteryuniverse.com/mega-millio...y-winnings.aspx

So at 31% of $777,777 is $536,666.13.

Therefore, again, yes you could get a 599 GTB.

Couple weeks ago, some kid in Montana won over $200M. He and his family were poor farmers.

You want luck, there was a regular at the coffee shop I worked at in high school that had two Carrera GTs (one he crashed and sent away to Germany to get it fixed and bought another so he wouldn't be without one) and the guy went to Vegas and WON an Enzo.

This reminds me of that documentary I saw about the curse of the lottery. There was an elderly man who won the lottery twice; going broke both times shortly after.
