Jackpot winner antes up $30M for film production:

Hollywood's Latest Financier: the Lottery | The Wrap (http://www.thewrap.com/article/philanthropist-stafford-launches-film-production-company-finance-fund-11118)

"The latest film fund, $30 million to make romantic comedies, thrillers and faith-based dramas, comes from the lottery winnings of Cynthia Stafford, a single Hawthorne homemaker who shared a $67 million jackpot with her father and brother in 2007.

Who knows. There may even be a tax advantage she can make use of.

Lottery money is paying for an educational film about the Niobrara River in Nebraska. It comes my way via a river-hugging group, The Friends of the Niobrara and Nebraska Games and Parks Commission. It is just like winning the lottery, almost a license to break even.
