Las Vegas Winner Claims $1.35 Billion Mega Millions Jackpot! Sorta.

There is no state lottery in Nevada, which we've explained our frustrations about before. What Nevada DOES have, however, is a very quick and easy process to open an LLC. That's what the winner of the $1.35 Billion Mega Millions Jackpot for the January 13th drawing just did.

The fourth largest winning lottery ticket was sold in Lebanon, Maine, near the New Hampshire border. The ticket was purchased at the Hometown Gas & Grill and the owner didn't have a clue who the winner could be. Fast forward a little more than a month, and we still don't know who the winner is. But we do know how the winner is taking the money: anonymously.

Maine State Lottery officials announced the winner incorporated a limited liability company (LaKoma Island Investments LLC) in Las Vegas that will receive the money. A legal representative went to the state lottery and validated the ticket. The winner chose to take the lump sum of $723,564,144... which is before taxes. After taxes to the state and feds, the winner only receives just shy of $500,000,000. Less than 37% of their win. A life changing amount of money, but still, gross.

We do know some people that benefitted from the jackpot. Hometown Gas & Grill received a $50,000 check for selling the lucky ticket on unlucky Friday the 13th. Owner Fred Cotreau took half of that check and gave his employees a nice bonus.

For the winner, it's fortunate that he or she was allowed to remain anonymous. Some states like California require you to come forward with your name which leads to the inevitable barrage of unwanted phone calls, mail and house visits asking for cash.

So congrats to this Las Vegas (but not really) winner of Mega Millions. Hopefully they decide to come to town and visit their LLC. Leave a couple bucks in a machine while you're at it.

Somehow, the Powerball lottery jackpot still keeps growing. The multi-state numbers game hasn't hit in months and a drawing tonight will potentially make someone $1,900,000,000 richer.

Obviously inflation has gotten a grip of many of our paychecks. But once you get past "one million dollars", it's easy to lose grasp of exactly how much money we are talking about. One million, one billion, what's the difference?!

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire was a huge spectacular. The idea of winning $1,000,000 is huge to some people. Only 12 people were able to win the top prize of $1,000,000. That's $12,000,000. This lottery would pay out 1,900 millions.

Tiger Woods is the winningest golfer in history, scoring almost $121,000,000 over the course of his illustrious career that spanned decades. You walked into a store in Primm and out earned him 15 times over. As a matter of fact, $1,900,000,000 is like combining the total winnings/salaries of Lebron James, Alex Rodriguez, Tom Brady, Sidney Crosby and Cristiano Ronaldo, all the top earners in the history of their sport.

Or how about the Hollywood Walk Of Fame? You could buy all the stars ($55,000 a piece to create), and have $1.75 Billion left over. How about Disneyland? Supposedly you can pay $50,000 to get an attraction to yourself for four hours. At that rate, you could rent out Splash Mountain for over 17 years!

The most expensive car in the world would make your eyes bulge out. The Rolls Royce Boat Tail goes for an astounding $28,840,000. No big deal for you. You could buy 65 of them and still have $25,000,000 left to spend. Gas money, we bet.

So before you head to the state line to buy tickets before tonight's jackpot, you can daydream about some of the things you could do with that money. We put together a list of very Las Vegas things you could buy with all of that loot!

The whole damn thing. Or, you could pay off Nevada's part of the debt 2.5 times over, if you're feeling charitable.

The new Station Casinos property is shooting up... and you could build almost three of them. Buffalo Resort, Rainbow Resort and Jones Resort! We can see it now!

The cost of an NHL franchise went up after Bill Foley bought his way into the league. The Kraken paid $650 Million for their franchise. So, you can have three teams. Why? Because you're a billionaire.

Why would you want to fill the Bellagio Fountains with 22,000,000 of $5 a gallon gasoline? Because you can.

Tilman Fertitta is about to build a new resort on the Las Vegas Strip and he paid around $43 Million per acre. So... buy a bunch!

This palace is absolutely massive. Probably has one of those "you are here" mall maps when you walk in. Buy one, and then all the other ones in the subdivision. And thensome.

You could either buy all of the luxury homes they have planned on the land with at least a billion dollars left over... or you could become a legend and buy the land at a premium and bring it back to what Bonnie Springs used to be.

After saying "danke schoen" to the lottery commission, you could take that check, get in a time machine, and buy Wayne Newton's sprawling 36 acre estate again, and again, and again. It has a horse pool, so frankly it's a bargain.

The Las Vegas area is one of the most fast food-rich communities in America with the 2nd most McDonalds per capita. It's estimated that, on the high end, a McDonald's location will run you around $2.3 Million. You're estimated to profit an average of $150,000 per location. Which means you'll make $123,450,000 a year, and for many many many years to come.

Nusr-Et, a.k.a. the 'Salt Bae''s place, is known for extraordinarily expensive steaks. Their 24-karat gold wrapped Golden Amor Wagyu Rib Cap is decadent. And for the amount you just won, you could eat one every day for 3,470 years.

Another day older, and another week wiser on Aimee+Shawn this week. It began with Shawn turning the tender age of 39. Aimee had the day off (celebrating Shawn's birthday, one can assume)... but young Sammi from the afternoon show was there to make him feel even older.

Shawn brought his dog to the vet for a $400 dental cleaning. So why did he walk out with a $2700 bill?! Did Shawn get screwed?

When Aimee came back on Tuesday, we got a breakthrough. Her son pretty clearly does not want to be associated with her on the internet for the sheer embarrassment of it all. But he has started to teach his mother TikTok dances. Is it going well? Not quite... but it's bonding time!

Valentine's Day brought gift bags to the Tempesta residence. One parent thought it was a good idea to add confetti to theirs. Shawn wants them thrown in prison. They discuss gift etiquette and the whole concept of everyone getting a gift for everything in the first place.

Aimee, somehow, got lost going to the Sahara. When she got there, she took in Magic Mike Live with her mom... who had to use her safe word. Several times.

This week brought a new term to the show: "playing it forward". This is when a listener calls and tries to win tickets for another listener who is having a really tough time winning games on the show. First it was Courtney who "played it forward" to win tickets for Buckeye Bob in Radio Roulette... then Katrina took on Google Predicts to win tickets for Sandra! How can you not love these listeners?!

Finally, Aimee took on Presidential trivia with disastrous results.

The show returns Tuesday (thanks President's Day!) with tickets to see Maroon 5 at Dolby Live at Park MGM! Enjoy the weekend, and see you then!

It is Shawn's least favorite day of the year: his birthday. From the chain restaurant songs to burdening people with their needing to remember the day he was born... he's just not that into it.

Sure she was pregnant, but this is the Super Bowl. What'd YOU think of her Halftime Show performance?

A "quick" trip to CVS turned into a longer affair as he waited for someone with a key to give him access to...soap.

A simple dental cleaning turned into a nearly $3,000 visit! How?! Why?! And does your vet tell you what they told Russ The Driver (to not get your dog's teeth cleaned yearly)?

We've been to the pricey weddings and we've been to the cheap ones. Which ones do we enjoy more?

Sure, he is pretending he doesn't know her on social media... but Jayden is trying to get his mom cool enough to show to his friends. So far... it's not going well.

Shawn has had it with the undeclared Pinterest war of moms that is going on at every birthday party, classroom and football field in Las Vegas right now.

Thank God Aimee and Shawn aren't "together", because if they were there would never be a hung or folded piece of clothing again.

It quite literally has its own street. It is next to the tallest landmark in the valley. HOW do you miss it by a couple miles?!

Once Aimee and her mom DID make it to Sahara... it was a party at MML! Until mom was getting pulled on-stage.

This is the 10 year anniversary of Shawn speaking up for himself and getting a company to open their wallet to the tune of thousands of dollars after broken promises left him in a precarious situation.

It's evident that Don hasn't spoken to women before, because if he had he know this was a TERRIBLE conversation to have.

This marks TWICE this week that a listener has called to win another listener tickets to a show. Man, we love our people!

Back in 1994, "Today" famously had no idea what the Internet was. Aimee+Shawn wonder what their moment of embarrassment will be in a decade...

Both Aimee and Shawn wrote to celebrities they were fans of. While Aimee loved Oprah, Shawn loved Nancy Kerrigan.

Can Aimee answer any questions correctly about United States Presidents before we head off for a three day President's Day weekend?
