I'd travel with friends constantly, and occasionally take time off from travel and take courses in history and literature from various universities. I'd probably split time living between the Garden District of New Orleans, Georgetown in DC, and Vail Colorado.

I'd invest enough that my family could love off the interest for many generations.

I don't need to create any wealth so the idea of opening any businesses don't make sense to me.

First, would go in and kick over every cubicle in the office. Pay off house, set aside a fun fund and also a rainy day fund, and invest, invest, invest...

Redneck Powerball Winner:
Hire a financial manager, with the understanding that I would be buying a ranch in Montana, 2000 acres in MS close to the river, 2 thriving businesses for my kids' future, give all family members at least 2 mil, and the church 10 mil. Also build my high school the best field house in the state.
Give the wife 200g year spending money, and set myself up to travel and fish in style in the Bassmaster Opens and FLW Tour for 3 years. Spend the rest of my life killing animals, catching fish, and helping people.

I'd protect my principal first and foremost, setting up trusts for family members, buy some real estate in tax favorable states, etc...oh and a Jaguar F-Type Coupe R model for starters.

With $110m-ish after taxes, anyone who says they would keep their job is full of shite. I'd enjoy life, travel wherever I wanted, and not stress ever again.

I'd blow a million and then buy the land behind our family farm and a house on the East Coast. Give a wad to my undergrad school, St. Jude's and the Salvation Army.

Most lotto winners who go broke buy too many things that require expensive insurance and maintenance.

You know you could buy about 5000 acres or 20000 acres if you wanted.

Like exactly as I do now except work as much as I vacation and vacation vacation much as I work currently.

Keep current house. Buy modest house in Texas and NOLA where kids live.
Building a new camp in LA and Mississippi on land we already own. New boat. New RV. New car and truck. Baseball and basketball season tickets in addition to football since midweek games are no longer a problem.

I've always thought about building an indoor softball facility if I were to win. 6 or 8 fields and have leagues all year. BP cages and stuff as well.

I would find a church that was actually doing good work...and pay off their bills...

I would give a whole bunch to Wounded Warrior Project and some other Vet supporting non profits that do good work..

I would ensure that my kids kids kids would have to work and be a certain age before they touched any of the money...

I would invest in natural gas technology...

Buy lots of water purifications systems to put in rural areas of Africa... and put funds into AIDS education and prevention in Africa

I would create a company that provided simple services and in turn hire only homeless, jobless, needy folks to get them working again...

I would buy the house my wife grew up in...

I would put a damned Krispy Kreme in my town...

I would build UGA an IPF..

I'd dole out $1,000,000 (partitioned, not each) to OT posters I like or who have been helpful to me.
