MegaMillions winning ticket -- share your fantasy

[Anonymous]

I would set a designated amount to spend in the first year, say to pay of my mortgage and buy a new car, go on a nice vacation.

Then I'd hire an attorney, financial planner, trust fund manager, maybe security. I'd start planning on building a financial legacy for my family. No big money decisions for at least a year. Figure out the dollar limits to spend on extended family members as a one time thing, then set up trusts for our children and nieces and nephews. College funds for kids of friends. Only then would I quit my job.

I'd probably give away most of it, maybe set up an endowment at my college, but set aside some for random acts of kindness.

Definitely would buy several properties at the beach and mountains and NYC and fly first class. Spend money on experiences and Travel extensively. I'd keep 100M or so in investments and real estate so it could grow. My annual budget meeting will be so fun

But I wouldn't tell anyone about it, I'd just hire mysterious people in black suits to hand deliver all of the guests an envelope with an address, a date, plane tickets, hotel reservations, and a couple thousand cash to cover any missed work/trip expenses.

It would be in a city nobody I know lives in. I'd wait a day or two after everyone arrived to have the party, so in the meantime people run into other people they know and the mystery deepens. Then when everyone was assembled in the ballroom, it would be like Oprah's Christmas episode, expect personalized. I'd thank each person, explain the role they played in my life, and give them a vacation, a car, a college fund for their kids, or something else that would make their life better.

After everyone gets recognized and gets their gifts, Electric Six takes the stage and everybody rocks out and parties all night long.

Sounds lame?

If that sounds lame to you you're certainly the kind of person who would never get an invite.

+1 scratch that nasty PP off the list. They're already bitter about someone else's fantasy, and no one has even won yet. Imagine how they'll feel when someone actually does win.

So tamper some of your dreams down to $301MM. Still a lot of course, but not a billion at all.

I wouldn’t give a dime to church or charity. It would be all about mine.

I would call everyone I know before it was announced if I could borrow $500 and keep note of who said no!

GREAT idea!!

Srs question: how do you get this kind of money without blowing up your family? Do you just immediately lock it up in trusts? Do you form a family office, or join someone else’s? It’s incomprehensible to me.

what do you mean? are you worried about distant cousins coming along asking for money?

or just spoiling the kids?

either way, spend it all on yourself and you won't have any issues.

Is it true that if I win, half is legally my husband's? He says it is and is now dreaming about how he'd spend his half from my ticket. Maybe I'll buy him his own ticket tomorrow.

You have to chase them? Are you unattractive? Men dispense them immediately to any taker.

Yes I’m pretty rough

Pool and a small pool house with a bathroom, fridge and small kitchen.

So you would take the cash, not the annuity?

You bet your sweet bippy! It will grow to more than the jackpot value in 20 years.

If you don’t die first. I’m not trying to be dark but 20 years isn’t guaranteed. I’m taking the money.

I would walk around with a wad of 100s and just tip the sh!t out of good service on the DL anywhere I went to see people smile. You're nice to me at Harris Teeter, here's 200. You smile at me getting coffee, here's 200. etc. Would be cool as sh!t just to make peoples day nonstop.

+1 I would have fun surprising people with things they've always talked about wanting.

I'd want to bring Christmas/holiday gifts to the local CHildren's Hospital and anonymously clear people's GoFund me accounts and wishlists.

I'd pay off the house, buy new cars and pay off brother and parents houses, then sit on the money for a bit.

Long term I'd want to start a foundation and give a lot of it away.
