TOTN:  Depending on how much I get after taxes,

 Build a house on some riverfront property here in Savannah, with a boat dock (hey, I want a party barge... I prefer to cruise instead of speed. LOL, although I would like a JetSki too ) . 

Donate $20 million to charity (St. Jude's and Susan G. Komen Foundation).

Give some to family, definitely.   Give my mom enough money to move down here and away from someone I really despise right now.

Invest the rest.

Edit: Oh, and pay the 2007 Mazda 6 off.   :lmao:

Well clearly I didn't win either! :-)

Hmm...I haven't really thought about what I would do with that kind of windfall. I would keep it a secret from everyone until I figured out what I planned on doing with it and how much I planned on giving to my friends and family. Then the checks would come with an iron clad written agreement. At least that's how I'd like to think I'd act. I may just roll around in it!  :-)

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

First, I would set up a trust consisting of shares in $10,000 increments.  Then I would alot shares to those with whom I intend to share the wealth.  Everyone I know would get at least one share.  The Lord would get 2000 shares tax free first.

My wife, myself, our children and their children would be well taken care of.  Everyone would receive a GENEROUS monthly income from their shares while the remainder is left invested.  By the time I got through wrapping all the details, my great great great great grandchildren would never want for a thing.

Lying wench!  You'll be all like "chubby guy in Dallas who?"  :lmao:

(Laugh at me if you want) I'd quit work, but I'd give 30 days notice (I like my boss).

I'd check myself into a hospital and get a thorough "money-is-no-object" checkup.  I'd begin getting the best of treatment for things they found wrong.  

I'd pull my daughter out of public school and put her in the best private school I could.  

I'll add more later.

I wonder how many people squander their fortune? Probably quite a few. Sounds like you will be leaving a legacy for generations to come.

I'd finish fixing up my house, pay off my mom's mortgage and get my dad a nice house.  Pay off my best friend's medical school loans.  Take care of my brother & his wife, set up college funds for my nephews.

Give some to my extended family members.

Give to charity.  Pay off my car. 

Save & invest the rest and live off the interest.

Very sound strategy my dear. I must admit when I read this:

Ok, I'm sowwy about the "wench" remark but you SO would not remember "the little people".  You would post one last picture of your bare behind on every message board you frequent.  In big block letters on the picture it would say "kizz me, I hit teh pwerball. kthxbye!"  :lmao:

For the past 3 drawings, everyone in the office has been donating $5 (mainly out of fear that they would be the last one left). It's funny how you really start convincing yourself you might even have a chance.  :lmao:
