i would say the thing is worth $1.6 billion by the time this happens. first of all if you want to get the cash out because you do not trust the state to pay you for the rest of the years you are alive, i think that is the right strategy. you give up 50%. that leaves you -- leaves you with 800 million. uncle sam and the state is there. you' re left with $400 million. still pretty good. let' s say you are conservative and you invest in government bonds and aaa corporate securities. you should be able to make about 4% year on that. that is $166,000 per month. not bad after taxes. so here is the strategy. do not spend a month to get the first interest payment. never spend the principal. if you look at the lottery winners of the last 20 years, the ones that are growing to

i have picked out mine. it is in the corner. $2.1 million. so after tonight' s powerball. it will be a drop in the bucket. ed: he already won the powerball. there' s a little band of snow in the midwest. it will weaken as it moves east but there could be a few flurries tomorrow. maybe a feather dusting scattered about. nothing widespread but i know the wind got your attention. in southie there was a gust of 57 miles per hour. still gusting over 20 but the winds are easing. it is in the teens and low 20' s around the region. wind chills eight in worcester. temperatures will stay in the teens and low 20' s. close to 30 in much less wind. as we look at the next seven days it gets more interesting after that. friday will be a little milder
7:20 pm
mild enough so that the next storm threat will be liquid as opposed to frozen for most of us. it is the storm coming up the coast. there is a chance it will be farther east and the heaviest rain and wind will be around the coast in the cape but it -- if it becomes close enough , even a slight chance of the worcester hills, there could be some snow involved but close into boston probably not enough cold air to work with. the other thing is the timing. i am -- increasingly optimistic that this storm will be over before the game starts. winds will be around the northwest 10 to 20, possibly gust year and a temperature of 32. one other thing i am following. return colder sunday. sunday night another storm out in the ocean and it will be strong. how close will it come? we will be colder for that one so if it comes close enough that could produce snow.
7:21 pm
i do know this, the coldest weather of the season so far when you combine wind and temperature and the feel of it will be the first half of next week. a couple of storms and cold and i will be updating all of that later on tonight. ed: you have to put the winter jacket on in the studio. it will be cold. next, five for good and a little girl who is paying it forward.
