Wouldn't it be great to spend an entire weekend figuring out what to do with a million dollars?

Or, maybe $700,000 or so after taxes, of course.

Officials with the New Jersey Lottery said there was one second-tier prizewinning ticket sold for the Mega Millions drawing on Friday night, October 27th, that matched all five white balls.

That little slip of paper is now worth $1 million.
