    I would take a bunch of finance classes and put away college tuition for my kids but not tell them. I would then go out and buy either the new Stingray Corvette or Camaro LZ1...but probably the Corvette. Then I would buy everyone in my family a Bose Waveradio.

    I'd go to work do some stupid stuff to get fired, then file for unemployment from them. Then once the unemployment is in place go claim my prize through a trust company i sat up during the unemployment check phase. Make sure my financial advisor I'd hire away from work to make sure I'm set and my kids are set for life. One thing is I'd make sure the kids trust stipulates that my sons would need to go to college or a trade school and keep a job in order to keep getting the funds from the trust.

    Just off the top of my head.

    With that kind of dough

    After buying a house and paying taxes, with diversified investments you should really not have to touch the original gain.

    I'd by a condo in DC and move in, pay off Mark's college loans and mortgage. Then figure out what to do with the rest of my life.

    That's my thoughts too guys. I've had BAD luck and I've had GREAT luck.

    But we only hit one number tonight as useual! But somebody else hit it my wife thinks.

    I could write a book too and people also would say NO frikin way dude!
    The Doctor experiences I've had could be Volume One itself! :s

    I stopped at a church bazaar this morning coming home with the Tritons. I like looking in the books for cool Christian books. I found one on the topic I was looking for in particular, near death experiences. This book was written by a Doctor on the subject. I believe I heard about this book and now I have it to read. Another topic I love to read lately was on Books written but not included in the standard KJv Bible. I've read a couple of those books and now I have another. There's some interesting reads and understandable why they aren't included. ;)

    I needed 2 power cords for my Tritons...there in a bag of cords is 2 power cords. :)

    And some COOL other Fantastic books. One is on the most popular sports cars! ( BIG one too! )

    One was of the Royal Families Buildings they own. Of ALL the books in the world, I find a book that (BIG one too!) shows a lot of their holdings property wise! LOL! On this special day for Harry and Meghan. They probably had lunch in one and then will spend tonight in another building and then live in another. Next to his brother in the same building I hear. That will keep the special police costs down. ;)B)
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    If I win such a big money in lottery I would help my relative firstly. I would but a big house for my grandaprents and I would pay for workers there which would help them always. My grand dad is ill, so it would make his life much easier. ANd of course I would buy something for myself. A good house too and a car I was always wished about. Mercedes cls I think. WHo knows, may be I would win such a prize one day in the cryptocurrency gambling. That would be really cool. Or may be ethereum which I have won already would grow a lot and I will be rich as guys who bought bitcoin at 2011. I wish one day I will have luck.

    I'd still buy a house. Then I'd have another house built on the property for my good friend and her boyfriend.

    I would buy an airport hanger and turn it into a Super Man cave Museum.
    One side would be a Audio Video world of the History of Audio on half the side with rooms showing each stage in home Audio history and the other would be Home Theater from the beginning to now.
    The other side would be a Car museum and my personal Collection.
    One small part would be a recording studio.

    I'd pay off all my bills by my kids new houses and travel the world.
