Help me spend the $1.35 billion I will win tonight

[Anonymous]

Yeah, yeah, I know. After I take the lump sum option and pay half in taxes I might be left with only like $700 million. But what should I spend it on?

I’m thinking for starters a pina colada on a beach in the Maldives.

Give 90% of it away to charities and causes who really need it. Cancer research for example. But also a pina colada on the beach in the Maldives is certainly in order!

Oh for sure. I already have the paperwork for my foundation drawn up.

Invest it and in a few years you can probably buy the Maldives. Or what's left of them.

I’d want to stop child rape more than anything. This country is the number one consumer of these traumatized children who are horrifically assaulted multiple times every single day by sadistic men who have no soul.

I hope I win.

Who is the governor allowing this travesty?

I live in a crappy tiny apartment. When I win, I will go live in a hotel - either Four Seasons or similar - for a year while I look for a nice 2 bedroom condo with a balcony, bathtub, and washer/dryer in unit.

In honor of this week's DCUM feel-good story about the poster who was reunited with Cookie, who her uncle who is fighting cancer had to give up, perhaps a generous contribution to the Maryland SPCA would be in order?

First you have to give me my 10% cut for not buying a ticket and allowing you to win.

For 3 million, I will take the fall for you. Meaning if you buy your ticket in VA or DC (not anonymous states), I will be your public lotto face and let you remain anonymous. Honestly it's a steal and this offer will expire at midnight.

The most fun part would be thinking about how best to give it away.

My child has a very rare disease and there’s no cure or treatment, but we have a parent led foundation that fundraises and gives grants every year for research. Gene therapy would be a game changer but it costs unfathomable amounts of money and the disease being rare makes it hard to get treatments.

I would fund the crap out of research into my child’s disease. We recently got $20 million to fund research and everyone LOST their minds with joy. I can’t even imagine what 1/2 billion could do!!

I’d pay off my credit cards, book a fabulous vacation, buy a house in a vacation spot and buy a sequoia and vintage bronco to start.

I would hire a full staff:

-masseuse
-concierge doctor for whole family
-chef
-full time nanny coverage 24/7/365
-trainer
-personal assistant
-housekeeper
