Not that last Friday's 65-million dollar jackpot was small change, but more than a year after the multi-state lottery was created, the top prizes haven't been the hoped-for record-breakers. That leaves Virginia and the other Mega Millions states still waiting for a lottery windfall to cushion falling tax revenues. The Mega Millions group has reason to hope its fortunes will improve. Texas will join in later this year, meaning more players, faster jumps in the jackpot, and maybe the record-breaking prize.

""Do you have any idea what it cost to fly two C-130 aircraft to bring in his two cars, takeoff and then come back a day later to pick them up? Not to mention the Boeing 757 that he flew in on.
