What Would You Do With $476 Million?

Since no one won Tuesday's Mega Millions lottery jackpot, the next drawing will be for $476 million.

While some people think of Mercer Island as already home to millionaires, some of us need luck to get there.

We want to know what you would do if you became a "lucky dog" and won half a billion dollars in the biggest Mega Millions jackpot to date.

Last January, players from Washington and Idaho won the second highest Mega Millions jackpot in history of $380 million also making it the highest jackpot ever won by a Washington player. 

Now, the pot is even sweeter; at $476 million for this Friday, March 30, drawing, Washington's Lottery says it's the largest jackpot in North America, breaking its own record of $390 million.

There were three lucky Washington $250,000 winners in last night's drawing, including two tickets bought at retailers in Spokane and one in Ferndale.

Washington Lottery tickets are sold at five locations on Mercer Island, including the , , and the and stores.

So tell us, what would you do if you won half a billion dollars (before 25 percent taxes)?
