MegaMillions Winner Mark Staffa Loves Lego

Mark Staffa - MegaMillionsIf you love to build with Lego, would you want to visit Denmark, the country where Lego was created? Maybe not. But what if you had just won the Georgia Lottery MegaMillions jackpot of $42 million? Well then, perhaps.

Mark Staffa won the Georgia Lottery MegaMillions jackpot of $42 million in October 2008. First on his list of things to do is a European tour, with Denmark being tops on his list because of his love for Lego.

When Mark first found out that he had the winning ticket, he couldn't stand up, his legs were numb, and he was breathing erratically. I guess that would be fairly common with a lot of huge prize winners.

Staffa bought his winning lotto ticket at Scott's Market in Dallas, Georgia. The store gets a $25,000 commission for selling the winning ticket.
