I would like to think I would spend about $10M of it. How do you spend that much money?

First buy a house. Make sure mom and other family is secure. Then have a ball for a month or so with friends.

First on the agenda: Buy a new identity.

I've got an uncle who is super religious. He and my dad had this conversation. He told my uncle he would donate half to the church, and use the other half to help out family/friends.
When the last big powerball came out, he had missed every number by one digit.
When he showed the ticket to my uncle, he said, "That's God's way of saying he doesn't need that kind of help."

Can only do that in some states, according to my research. Yes, I have researched this

I think you can do it if you set up a blind trust and have the trust claim the winnings.

You can, but if I remember correctly, someone can still find out who the trust belongs to through the Secretary of State's office. It weeds out the casual curiosity seeker, but someone who's determined to find out can still find out.

I think the first thing I would do is move to another state if my identity was leaked in the process of claiming the winnings.

I don't claim to be super-religious, but I would def. donate to church and charity first. Then, family and friends. That is funny though.
I'd go race cars until I ran out of money. I'd be the oldest rookie on the circuit.

First- get a lawyer
Second- set up trusts for my entire immediate family
Third- quit my job inconspicuously
Fourth- take off to a exotic beach vacation. Party with family and friends for a couple months.
Buy everything I want, take the money and try to make more money with it. Retire early and do charity work around the world

I'd spend 1/3 on booze, 1/3 at the casinos and the rest I'd just waste.....
