Put enough in a swiss bank account for my college tuition, my sister's, and my (future) kids. Pay off my parents and grandparents' mortgage. Buy a condo in Manhattan, a beach house in one of the carribbean islands or Brazil, a condo in Paris, and a place in Hawaii. If I still have left over money, I'd give about 100k to my 5 closest friends and my cousins ( I have about 10, so that's about 1.5 mil). Not quite sure what that would put me at, but I'd deposit 500k in a seperate swiss bank account as emergency funds, donate half of what's left over to charity and use to other half to invest. If by some crazy chance I still have a solid chunk of money left, I'd follow through with my dreams and buy an NBA franchise.
Pretty much. I'd turn into Mr. Do-Gooder and just travel the world trying to fix crap with my magic money machine and copious amounts of free time. In between stripper parties in hottubs full of champagne, of course.
I'd get enough fake bills to equal my real-money, package them up onto palettes, and set it all on fire on live TV; just to mess with people.

I was one number away from winning it last friday. 10 gs is alright but I can't shake the feeling that I was so close and I don't think I wll ever be again.
Damn, would've changed your name to T-Stack. That's what I'm always sayin to myself, bein one number away and winnin is worse than havin all numbers wrong, must really suck to know you were close to hitting the jackpot.
I used to say that if I won that kind of money, I'd make it my job to give it all away. I'm not so sure anymore. I think that if I won that kind of money now, I'd invest in American manufacturing. Buy inefficient companies and make them profitable to keep the jobs here. I think that would do more good than giving the money away, and I could make enough more money to still give a lot away.
I would give 1/3rd to family and friends, save 1/3, then see how quickly I could blow through the other third and pray I don't die. VEGASSS
wouldn't that still mean you won like $100k or something? In this last drawing, 47 people got 5 of 6 numbers and each received $250K
Buy a time machine and then go back in time to buy and sell stock with the remaining money that I have left.
How much do you think an NBA franchise costs these days? You'd have to win a huge lotto (like the current one), take the cash option, and spend close to the entire thing.
Hire Stacey King and Clyde to be commentators for my pickup games. "I WANNA GO HIGHEEER." "THAT BOY CAN GO UPSTAAAAIIIIRS" "DUNK IT YOUNG FELLA!!!" And the classic line "UUUH BOOOI GET OUT THA WAAAAY!!!".
...but I got high. Seriously? Okay. take care of family (that's how we roll) own an island (no global warming...just a small ice age) travel and dive every reef I can find travel and see every ancient site I can find and a lot of: sleep...eat...pray...love
Season Tickets to Rockets/Texans Nice Benz/4 Wheeler/Fishing Boat/Truck Invest in a restaurant Family would be taken care of Give all my friends 100k Get married Do two chicks (what can the wife say, I have half a billion)
