The man who bought one of the two winning tickets in the $380 million Mega Millions lottery on Wednesday claimed his half of the second largest jackpot in history. Jim McCullar then promptly handed over the oversized check to his wife, Carolyn. "We've been married 41 years," he said, as his family looked on. "I know what to do with this check." While the McCullars stepped forward to get their prize in the state capital in Olympia, officials and residents in neighboring Idaho were still awaiting for whoever has the other winning ticket to claim their winnings. Jim McCullar bought his ticket at a supermarket in Ephrata in eastern Washington/Curt Woodward, Associated Press. More here. And: Video here.

Question: Are you more inclined to play the lottery now that both winning tickets for the Mega Millions lottery came from the Inland Northwest?
