CINCINNATI (FOX19) - If you should happen to win the upcoming Mega Millions jackpot, and your goal is to use up all the money as fast as possible, you might want to move out of town.

If you are simply determined to dispose of the money, that's no problem.  You could donate it all to a leading university or hospital.  You could gamble it away around the world.  You could give it away a million at a time to people you met in bars.  If you asked a luxury shipbuilder to use it all on a yacht, they could oblige you.  You could buy the City of Cincinnati a streetcar system.

The half-hour adventure is based on the history of the area where the event takes place.  It's along the Little Miami at 6272 Gilmore Road, which is near Mason-Morrow-Millgrove Road.  Most people in the area are familiar with Mason and Morrow, but whatever happened to Millgrove?  That village disappeared under the weight of floods and a cholera epidemic, and if you believe the Morgan brothers, zombies are also part of the equation.

The appropriately-named Salem Township is in the countryside east of Lebanon and not far from Morrow.
