Heroin. Lots of it. I would go out like Artie Lange.
Thats what the 46' Bertram is for.

Assuming we're talking about a big jackpot...
I'd pay off debt, help close friends and family do the same, give to charity, and invest the rest so that I could live comfortably (not lavishly) forever. I'd travel a lot, too. A lot. And likely also foot the bill for some friends and family to come with me.
I'd buy a house and probably a new car, but other than that I wouldn't change too much about my day-to-day lifestyle. I just moved to the city I've wanted to live in for more than half my life, so I wouldn't move anywhere else. And I'm studying something I love and pursuing a career that genuinely interests me, so the money would give me the freedom to continue that pursuit without stress, but I'm not the type who could retire in my early 30s. The video games would get boring after a couple weeks.
Ha ha , even if you win 100 million dollars you still gotta wear pants, sucks to ing be you.
TWO CHICKS AT THE SAME TIME!
Talk about late to the party.

Yeah, I posted mine on the first page, then went back and read one of the posts that had actually beaten me to the office space reference.
At least yours wasn't the exact same reference.
Seriously? Before I even cashed the ticket I would set up 4 family trusts for me, the SO, and the kids. The 4 trusts would turn in the ticket. On a 50 million jackpot I would probably give each kid 10% and spit the other 80% 50/50 with the SO. She would probably take the money and dump my huntin/fishin/ranchin/cowboyin/beerdrinkin ass.
THEN I'd get the bangin house in the Pedregal and the boat and the coke and the hookers.
I would give a portion to charity. then buy enough acreage around san antonio to build some houses for my family and call it Pancho's Villa.
After that I would start a gaming business in SA with a place big enough to possibly host the MLG tour.
The rest goes to my kids.
Certainly I would indulge in hedonistic pleasures, but there is a limit. Can't take it with you, but you can make sure your family is taken care of after you. . .
And yeah, I don't give a if SFIE wears pants in the house if we don't have company. But outside . . . what can I say? There are exceptions to that rule, naturally, but on the whole, I'm just y like that.
Buy Spurstalk
i can live in your guest house so we could hang out and talk about boobs.
No one would have the balls (no pun intended) to challenge a guy that rich in public.
Reading these replies sure does make me realize how sensible we all areI wonder if most actual lottery winners start out with a safe plan but some just lose it along the way----get driven nuts by the money and suc b to it's potential evils or get taken advantage of.

I didnt bother reading the thread, but figured it was probably posted already....
E for effort?
I bet most of us are sensible enough not to waste money playing the lottery too though.Reading these replies sure does make me realize how sensible we all are
Yeah true story, I never play the lottery. I've probably played five times in my life.
I've won the lottery before, but only 50 000$
I hate these types of conversations though..I have them with people every time we buy lottery tickets..I end up expecting to win, even though I know I'm going to lose..it just sets you up for disappointment..
If I was going to play the lottery, I'd only pick numbers 32 and higher though. It would give you a slightly higher expected value of winnings, since plenty of people use birthdays as numbers and by not picking a birthday, you'd have on average fewer people to split the jackpot with should you win.
First thing I would do is put in my 2 weeks at work. Not quit outright, but put in my 2 weeks. Then I'd spend that 2 weeks telling off anyone who pissed me off, bosses, vendors, drivers and customers. I probably wouldn't last 3 days.
Second, I'd set up trust funds for my kids, take what money I have, divide it in half. Half is for spending and the other half is to be split 50/50 amongst my kids trust funds. Every year I'd add half my yearly payment (I take payment option because I'm only 28) to their trust funds for the entire 25-30 years I get a check.
Third, I'd pay off my mom's house and remodel it, my brother's car (in addition to buying my mom one) and buy my grandparents house for twice the amount so they could definitely live off that money without having a side job. Plus I'd pay my grandma's medical bills. I lived with my grandparents for 10 years while I went to school in a better school district and after that. I kinda owe them that much at least.
Of course, settle my debts and hire a financial advisor. Then I'd buy a house to start for myself and my 2 brats. The following year I'd buy some land and build a permanent home and probably "rent" out my old house to my older brother for free.
I'd turn my attention to my car. Definitely getting my Audi RS4 for myself and maybe a nice luxury car to drive every day with my kids. In a few years when I've settled everything and am just getting more money than I know what to do with, I'd probably start buying cars. Maybe get me an Aston Martin because I could.
I'd give money to various charities and maybe donate money to a school. If the pot is large enough, maybe get my name on a building.
And if the pot is REALLY large enough, buy myself a little piece of my favorite sports team, the Spurs. Maybe 1-2% ownership (depending on the cost) and just be a silent minority owner giving them a little more capital to play with.
I forgot to add that I'd travel when my kids get old enough to remember it. An off dream is to live in Japan for a year just to say that I did, and give my kids that kind of world view growing up. I'd love for them to learn a really foreign language (to us) other than Spanish. Japanese would be cool. I'd even take my soon to be ex-wife just so my kids wouldn't miss having their mom around.
Lastly, I'd go to school until I tired of racking up degrees. Even without the lottery my goal is to be a life long student because you can never have too much knowledge.
If you want your kids to learn a new language, do it in the first 3-4 years. Once you hit 11 or 12, it's hopeless to learn a language at the level of a native speaker.
or you can work hard, make solid investments and be able to do all these things without relying on blind luck.
pussy, plenty of pussy
