Congratulations, Mega Millions winners! You've just won the biggest lottery in history! Move over Bill Gates and Warren Buffett!
Not so fast, Richie Rich.
There's no doubt that you're now each a member of the 1 percent. A life of comfort and leisure awaits, and managed wisely, it just might await your friends and family for generations to come.
Let's just not get carried away.
A luxury box at the stadium you can afford, but forget about buying the franchise and becoming the "No. 1 fan" of your favorite NFL or Major League Baseball team. The Los Angeles Dodgers just sold for $2 billion, besting the NFL record price of $1.1 billion for the Miami Dolphins by nine times your take-home winnings.
If you'd like to turn the keys at the sweetest pad in New York City — an $88 million apartment at 15 Central Park West — you'll have to spend nearly all of it to close the deal. But don't get into a bidding war: You're sure to lose out to the current owner, the 22-year-old daughter of a Russian billionaire.
Even if you're looking to become the next great philanthropist, your good deeds can't compete — at least in terms of dollars and cents — with that Gates guy. His foundation has given away close to $26 billion since it was established in 1994.
So, you've got some catching up to do. Don't worry, you're starting from a good place.
In the hours before the dramatic Friday night drawing, the jackpot was estimated at $640 million. If you each take the lump-sum payout, the cartoon checks made out to you will be worth about $150 million. Uncle Sam gets his share, and your state might, too.
All told, you'll each have roughly 100 million reasons to call April 2, 2012, the best Monday morning of your life.
If you follow the advice of those who know money, you won't splurge on those big-ticket items that you can afford, such as a top-of-the-line Gulfstream G650 jet ($64 million, excluding pilot, maintenance, hanger and fuel costs) and a place to fly it, your own private island (let's call that $25 million even).
Welcome to Fashionably Late, where we round up the style scraps that didn't make it to our news page this week. Click through and catch up on what else happened this week!

Facebook Timeline may be exacerbating the weight insecurity that many users already feel by making it easier to compare their weights at different points in their lives, a new survey suggests.
Researchers at the The Center for Eating Disorders at Sheppard Pratt in Baltimore commissioned a public survey of 600 Facebook users age 16 to 40 and discovered that the majority of users with Timeline had used the feature to compare their weights at different points in their lives.
In addition, 14 percent of users who had switched to Timeline had installed applications that allow users to track and chart their weight loss, and 37 percent said they were interested in trying out the feature in the future.
But Facebook Timeline or not, the survey found that 75 percent of users on the social network felt unhappy with their current weight, with 51 percent reporting that seeing of pictures of themselves on the site made them more aware of their size. Nearly 1 in 3 users said that when they compared pictures of themselves to pictures of friends, they felt sad.
"Facebook is making it easier for people to spend more time and energy criticizing their own bodies and wishing they looked like someone else," Dr. Harry Brandt, director of The Center for Eating Disorders at Sheppard Pratt, said in a press release. "In this age of modern technology and constant access to SmartPhones and the internet, it's becoming increasingly difficult for people to remove themselves from images and other triggers that promote negative body image, low self-esteem and may ultimately contribute to eating disorders."
Steven Crawford, associate director at the Center for Eating Disorders, said that excessively monitoring one's weight can be a contributing factor to eat disorders, and that behavior is now easier than ever thanks to Facebook.
"People are now constantly aware of their appearance, thanks to Facebook. A common reaction is, 'I need to be thinner' And it's that kind of thinking that can lead to hazardous dieting," Crawford told TechNews Daily.
"Facebook is an influential factor in developing severe eating disorders," he said.
According to the National Institute for Mental Health, about 1 percent of women will develop anorexia nervosa in her lifetime, and 3.5 percent of women will develop a binge eating disorder such as bulimia nervosa. Between 1999 to 2006, the rate of hospitalization for eating disorders increased by 18 percent.
At least one study has linked Facebook use with eating disorders. A survey of 248 female Facebook users age 12-18 found that the more time young women spend on Facebook, the more likely they are to develop an eating disorder.
Never one to shy away from making a fashion statement, Katy Perry showed off a few inches of her midriff in a neon green ensemble with matching peep toe heels on the orange carpet at the Kids' Choice Awards in LA on Saturday. On closer examination, the 27-year-old singer's sports bra-like top looks like it's dripping with slime. Now, that's one way to avoid getting slimed! Paired with her purple and blue ponytail and bubblegum lips, the pop star pulls off the fun, eclectic look to perfection.

It's been a banner week for Lindsay Lohan. First, it was confirmed that she'll appear as a guest star on "Glee" this spring. Then came her final court hearing Thursday, where she was taken off formal probation.
With all of this good news, we wanted to celebrate the triumphant return of Lindsay Lohan by looking back at photos of her over the years, but when we stumbled across this face morph video of the actress, we were at a loss for words.
The video -- just like the one of Britney Spears that hit the web a few weeks ago -- shows photos of Lohan throughout her 25 years. Her baby photos are cute, followed by images from her "Parent Trap" years, and then things get scary.
Lohan is no stranger when it comes to being ridiculed about her appearance. Even Blondie singer Debbie Harry, 66, was mistaken for her in New York recently. But thanks to the video, you can actually see Lohan add decades to her appearance in just a few short seconds.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, which one of this week's reviews is the snarkiest of them all? That award might belong to "Mirror Mirror," the romantic comedy based off the "Snow White" fairytale, starring Julia Roberts, Lily Collins and Sean Bean.
While it may seem like this all-star cast can do no wrong, according to Rolling Stone, the film falls flat. "The script by Marc Klein and Jason Keller is a model of storytelling incoherence and a lot of good actors go down in its swirling drain," wrote critic Peter Travers.
Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj's new album, "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded," isn't faring much better in the critics' eyes. According to Billboard, the album is just as schizophrenic as Minaj and her two alter egos -- and that's not a compliment.
HuffPost Entertainment has rounded up the week's snarkiest reviews just for your enjoyment in this week's installment of our "Week In Ouch" series.
This week, critics from TV Guide to The New York Times and HitFix were left shaking their heads and sharpening their critiques.
Let us know which films, albums and TV shows you think deserved the harsh critiques, and which ones you think critics should ease up on in the comments.

It's here! Jennifer Lopez's newest single "Dance Again" (Click to listen on Youtube) has finally arrived!
After weeks of teasing sneak peaks and snippets of photos, the full audio version of the J.Lo-Pitbull collaboration debuted on Youtube. Though the accompanying music video will not be released until April 5, today's video features the full lyrics in all their flashy, glittery glory.
A quick electro beat and rapid clapping pushes the momentum of the song from the start as Pitbull launches into a brief introduction.
The beat shifts from upbeat pings and claps to a bass backdrop as Lopez takes over the vocals.
"Nobody knows what I'm feeling inside. I find it so stupid so why should I hide that I love to make love to you baby," she sings.
The quick electro beat returns, revving up the energy before the chorus: "I wanna dance and love and dance again."
That's the line that will surely get stuck in your head.
