If you took the lump sum of $462,000,000
$346,500,000 after Federal taxes. A bit less after state taxes (depending on state).
How would you spend it?
-
A house and some land way out in the country.
Everything else is just gravy.
-
I would set up a trust fund for my grand daughter.
Invest some of it.
Buy some land in fly over country and build a nice house.
Travel some.
Help out my immediate family by making sure my parents were set for the rest of their lives. Pay off my brother's house. Buy homes for my adult kids.
Give some to charity.

I really don't know. I'm content with the way things are....but a little money wouldn't hurt anything. But that kind of money would ruin my present situation. That kind of money could make one a very, very lonely person.

If that's a winner, don't even try getting in touch with me for a few days. I'll be busy trying to figure a way to get the money without "MY" name being tied to it.
...and just for giggles...I like that last line of numbers you have.

Well, it would be nice, but knowing odds of things in proper proportion, of course I can't win.
<<has a better chance, a far better chance, of being killed in a vending-machine mishap.
Really. That's what the newspapers pointed out today.

That's why in the 10 years or so that it's been here...I've spent a grand total of $6.

I do three bucks each drawing (about the past ten years too), no matter the jackpot.
I ended up with five because I'd gotten one that I forgot about. And then when I went to get the usual three, the clerk made a mistake, printing out four instead.
Hint: if a clerk makes an innocent mistake in dispensing scratch or lottery tickets, buy it anyway.
I'm not sure why, but there's a disproportionate number of winners (scratch and lottery) where either the clerk made an innocent mistake but the customer bought it anyway, or the clerk made an innocent mistake and as the customer didn't want it, the clerk had to buy it.

I bought 10 quick picks.
What would I do. I would hide my conservative credentials and produce movies that do not portray Christians or Conservatives as evil. I would make muslims the bad guys, and toss in a liberal suck up who sides with them.
I would go easy at first so as not to be black listed.
It would be great fun to to to Obama what HBO does to conservatives.
-
Buy a farm and pay a bunch of conservative scientists to find the liberal gene and eradicate it!
-
I would buy the houses on either side of each one of my enemies and rent them all out to crack dealers.
But I guess that my enemies can rest easy since I haven't bought tickets.

Cheaper to hire a bunch of good ol boys with rifles.

Of course take care of my immediate family and then give relatives and friends some money, would definitely donate money to various Churches, Charities, and Animal Shelters. I'd also like to go to various Churches and find kids who are doing the right thing, going to school and working and give them a car and some money for school, also would like to find some hard working families who refuse to depend on the Government and are working hard, and give them money for a House they can own free and clear. I also like the comment someone made about buying Democratic Underground, rename it Everyone Underground and allow everyone to post there free and openly, and of course you guys would be made Mods and Admins there.
-
We got up a lottery pool at work with 140 picks, then I bought some on my own.
I'd give some to family and extended family then disappear.
-
with that much money where would you relocate?
I've been thinking about the Alaskan panhandle or an island there.
In the states, I've though about Texas or Montana, maybe Idaho.
-
I'd buy a new ass, this one's got a crack in it.
-
Tell my boss I quit--over the phone. From my suite at the Bellagio.
-
Two chicks at the same time.
(Sorry, I had to throw in an Office Space quote since you guys are lagging)
-
I would disconnect my phone and go hide.
-
I would buy a car that runs. :lmao:
And half a dozen that don't.
-
I hear the government has a few missile silos for sale. Might look into buying the site to relocate . No problems with DUmmies because they couldn't find it let alone get in if they did. Also I'd do some of the things others have mentioned before and what ever is left I'd use it to keep the funds going. Have to make your money work for you just like those evil 1%. Oh and maybe find a way to fund a certain race in Bellevue, Nebraska. I hear some people need to get the word out about http://www.electstevedawes.com/
-
I would probably set up a small trust to keep the local animal shelter supplied with food. I'm on their Facebook feed so I get requests for food occasionally.
-
I didn't win, I never win. :(

I didn't win, I never win. :(
Same here, guess I have to table the ultimate man cavern until the next big jackpot.

Mega Millions Mystery: Maryland woman claims to have $105M ticket, but no one's come forward
A McDonald's worker claims to have one of the three winning tickets selected in Friday's drawing, but a Maryland lottery official said early Monday that no one has produced the winning ticket. Making matters even murkier, the woman later seemed unsure if her numbers matched the $656 million jackpot.
Each one-third share of the record-breaking prize is worth $105 million after taxes, and officials have said winners were drawn in Kansas, Illinois and Maryland. Neither of the other two winning ticket holders has stepped forward, either.
"We can't wait to greet the winner of this world-record setting jackpot," said Maryland Lottery Director Stephen Martino. That ticket was purchased at a 7-Eleven in Milford. The McDonald's worker who claims to hold the ticket, Mirlande Wilson, 37, has said she bought tickets for 15 co-workers, but that the winner was bought separately and she won't share the money.

I see the McD's worker getting sued.

Are these people that get pools together stupid or something? When we have a pool at work, copies are made of all the tickets that were bought for the pool and several people have one.

I didn't win, I never win. :(
me neither, but I win another day here with youz guys :-*

Yep, that one right there. Except no Bellagio. We ain't real fond of Vegas as it is.
But IMMEDIATE retirement. Everything else requires a plan.
And I like what Kyle Ricky said - disconnect the phone and run and hide. Every schmuck on this side of Mars would be gunnin' for my ass.

I would keep working. I think if I just laid around it wouldn't be good for my ginger soul. I like to work and think it makes me healthy. Plus it would be nice to just not have to worry about bills and enjoy my work. I do love my job though so there's that.

Oh, believe me, I have PLENTY of stuff to do that keeps me busy. I just want to do it on MY time -- not theirs.
Sitting around counting piles of money is the kind of thing that JohnnyReb said -- it's a very lonely task and one that I ain't cut out for.
Set folks up, give a lot away, and then get busy doing the stuff that I wanna do -- which is makin' music.
