I bet you it would destroy more people than make happy.
The idle rich are ####ed up and the rich who earn it work their effing asses off.
But, yeah, we should give it a try.

Actually, if you take the cash option, you only get 55% of the jackpot, which would be $179M, after taxes you get about $90M. If you take the annuity it's $13M a year, or about $6.5 after taxes.Well, that might not be so easy. Figure $325, lose 1/2, take home $160 mil.
If you earn 2% in T bills, the safest thing you can do, that's $3.2 mil less taxes on that or $1.6 mil a year to spend.
Figure risk capital, as many losers as winners, splurges and so forth. I mean, it can be done and I'd love to try.
So, worst case, $1.6 by 365 days; That's 'only' $133,000 a month or $4,350 a day.
If you buy a mansion, you've got staff, Al Gore spends over $10k a month at this place on electricity alone, cars, drivers, insurance, the place in Manhattan, LA, Rome, etc. The boat. The plane.
Even with that kind of money, you can't go crazy because being rich is expensive.
One of the problems in the early days of the lottery was that they weren't taking taxes out of the initial check and when the IRS came for their share, April 15th, it was spent.

Wow! With each new passing bit of legislation and each new taxing implementation and each new increase due to inflation, I'm getting poorer and poorer which means things for me are getting better and better! Thanks Larry! I feel better now!That's right. My bad. See? It gets worser and worser being rich!

Nuh uh. You're thinking too small. You don't need a new truck to haul a boat. The boat needs to be big enough that it can't be towed. And then live on it. Replace the truck and house with a helo pad on the boat.

I would need some seed money to make it through the first year, somewhere around $20M should do it.

I'd definitely pay off family's debt (including in-laws of course). I'd probably also give them a couple million each. I'd buy a farm...a big one. Maybe one in Vermont and one in NC. Hubby would get his dream shop. I don't think we'd go too crazy though. We just want space. And I guess we'd give some to charity. We'd probably adopt lots of dogs.

If you were to win this, what would you do with your winnings?
I would buy my neighbors house (Hitler) and send him back to Germany so he couldn't hurt any more animals. Then I would tear down his house and build an indoor pool for the wintertime.
Then hire a pooper-scooper person so I don't have to pick up dog cookies anymore.
Pay bills
Send DIL back where she came from and last I would buy a drugstore. I would make it so I never had to watch an older person leave because they couldn't pay for their meds. That would be my tax write-off.
