This week, a person in Florida bought the winning $1.58 billion Mega Millions ticket. The odds are one in 302.6 million, a stat that’s impressive but ultimately meaningless, since eventually someone wins.
In other news about money, Clarence Thomas allegedly accepted stuff that cost a lot of it and Beyoncé’s tour spent it. Disney talked about its money. Someone is paying a bundle to maintain a superyacht in Italy. The Hollywood strikes are having all kinds of effects on the economy. Also, inflation.
