>It's because 14-15-23-39-54-22 was picked tonight and I have $550 million bucks.
If you do not check your ticket tonight, and avoid the news about the winner, you could be in the happy state of half-billionaire for much longer, maybe a week or so where you can think all the nice things you will get, that would make the price of the ticket more worthwhile.
Also, once reality sinks in an you find out your ticket was not the winner, you can find relief by thinking that you did not lose 225 million to the IRS!
