I wouldn't go all out. I'd stock the basic stuff. Maybe some chairs and a coffee pot for the old farts around town to hang out and watch town through the big windows.

March 31, 2012: Last night ONE PERSON won the $650 MILLION Mega Millions Lottery . . . and one woman took to Twitter to BRAG about winning.
The woman, a model named Melissa claims that SHE WON - and she posted pics of her lottery ticket.

UPDATE****3 winning tickets sold.....
The only picture you would see of me would be that of my lawyer.
I can’t imagine people identifying themselves to the public so quickly. I’d think one would want to become invisible so fast just to protect their family.
She’s gonna have more “friends” than she ever imagined.
She isn’t too bright, but she is also very not guilty.
The tickets say NY Lottery Commission. I thought the winners were in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland.
I think I would give a good bit of it away before anyone even knew I had it. Give some to my parents, pay off my sister’s house for her, money to local charities. I would buy the old gas station down the street and open up a bait shop for someplace to hang out.
At this level, I’d put 24x7 armed guards at the parents’ houses.
I think it's supposed to be some sort of joke, a rather stupid one at that.
And the nail polish doesn’t match in both pics ... looks like a fake..
Maryland had a large powerball winner (bought Christmas Eve 2011) and even though the winner lived in PA, they bought the ticket in Maryland and per Maryland law, did not have to have their identity published.
I would think that Mega-Millions is probably the same way.
Hilarious!
Why would you assume that both pictures purport to be taken on the same day, or even in the same year? One suspects, naturally, that there are a lot more publicity hounds out there than hot twenty-something lottery winning models.
I’m so happy for her!
Now she can afford a manicure!
Or is she just a model recognizing an opportunity to get her picture out there?
The tickets were purchased in Illinois, Kansas, and Maryland.
The ticket in the photo is from NY.
I can’t believe people are dumb enough to fall for this obvious fake.
Now she can afford ME...

The local bait shop was the ORIGINAL man cave.......
Holy crap that is hilarious.
A little background: Melissa is a total smartass who dates one of the biggest smartasses in the world. She dates Anthony Cumia of the Opie&Anthony show on XM radio.
Chill. Its a hoax for the gullible.
Also, very not guilty.

My spot for a bait shop is perfect. Within 100 yards of the dam where everyone fishes from shore, within 100 yards of my house, right next to the party store, and there isn’t another bait shop within 10 miles.
You know, you're absolutely right......
I grew up in Boyne City and years ago, my cousin's parents built an A&W hamburger stand. On the property next door, my cousin built a bait and tackle shop which was the only one in town, he made a killing.
I think he may have eventually sold it because now he does primarily walleye fishing charters in Lake Charlevoix whereas before when he had the shop, his charters were for lake trout and salmon in Lake Michigan off Charlevoix.
Those were the days before they started stocking Lake Charlevoix with the walleye......
He tried to convince me to open a shop in Charlevoix at the time he built his but I wasn't a business kind of person.
Actually, that is a protection against the possible theft of her ticket and its redemption by someone else. Maybe she doesn’t trust her friends or squeeze
And... she’s not the winner.
Attention Whore Ping.
Sorry Jim, I really planned to donate a pile of cash for the server farm.
Thanks OL Hickory.
Yep. I would so far under cover the press would need sonar to find me.
This much cash would be a burden. Any bets how long it will be before the idiot is broke again?
