Lottery fever strikes
It didn't take Maria Strazemski long to name what she would buy if she wins the $330 million Mega Millions jackpot tonight. "I'd buy my husband a Porsche, and share with my family," said Strazemski, 57, of the Richfield section of Clifton. "I'd travel to the Mediterranean and take a cooking class in Tuscany." She did not feel that a jackpot could be too large, but felt that with a certain size jackpot, several people should win. "Or, someone who is in need should definitely win," she added. On Thursday, the New Jersey Lottery Commission and acting Executive Director William T. Jourdain were visiting a booth at Blaine Avenue on the Boardwalk to sell tickets for tonight's drawing and give advice to people buying tickets. The jackpot is $330 million for the annuity option paid over 26 years, and $194.4 million for cash.
