1. The best Jew lawyer Money can buy. I'm talking Ira Steinbergstein.
2. The best Jew financial adviser money can buy...See above.
3. I'd buy at least 75 million dollars in physical gold bullion. Not from the United States though...25 million in Silver (US). (With advisers advice)
4. A fortress made of stone with access to an underground bunker that leads to water and a helipad. The bunker would have enough supplies to last 10 years including food, water, weapons, medical. Enough for 3 men and 6 women (gotta double down) and offspring.
5. A 24 hour security team.
My mission would be to make more money with a goal of increasing my net worth to 5 billion in 5 year. 50 billion in 20. Work on my underground city would quietly be taking place all the while.
Yes, I know. I'm insane. :-*

Lottery winnings are tax free in Canada. i.e. you win $500,000,000 you keep $500,000,000. It's a shame that in the US you're probably going to lose half of it right off the top to taxes.

That's awesome. While it does suck at least the tax money goes back to the states. That I can deal with. I'm all about the individual states. It's the FEDS I have a problem with...scumbag -motherfuckers.

Oh, id get me a brick of the best kush money can buy and at least 30 bottles of Nubain

Check this out fellas. Make sure to open it in a new tab, and then zoom in to read the text.

as far as i know, you don't get the full lump sum in one go even if you're the sole winner. isn't it like so many mil a year for so many years/or life, or a (lot) smaller, one off payment ???

LMAO! Illuminati!

used business class jet, good food, couple houses here and there. probably just travel around having fun seeing friends and family. definitely build a compound in the mountains, maybe some military grade goodies. ;D

You would be a fool not to take it in one lump sum cash pay out. You never know what's going to happen tomorrow and you can't will lottery winnings to your family if you die. Take the money and run.

There's a thought! ;D Though he is well past his peak.
Cannot think of anything I would immediately buy as I already have the car and houses I want, but I would probably retire right away, start a family foundation in 2013, and spend the rest of my years engaged in philanthropy. I would not dole out big checks to friends or even family. I would however match the income of several family members (for several years) so that their yearly income is effectively doubled. If someone made, say $80k in 2012, I would match that for them in 2013 so their income would be $160k, and I would offer the match in monthly installments--no lump sum payouts. If they got a raise or a better job I would match that as well. My winning the lottery would not be a license for any able bodied family member to quit their job and live a life of leisure. I would pay the college tuitions of family brats as well but that is all.
Alas, Powerball is not sold around here. >:(

I believe that is incorrect. This may vary by state, but the sister of an old bf of mine won the lottery nearly 20 years ago. She has since died but her estate is still getting payments and her kids are still fighting over the money. Her gay brother now controls her estate and the funds.

The jackpot is $550 million , the cash payout is $360 million before taxes or you can get the yearly installments over 30 years that equal $ 384,999,990 AFTER taxes , the break down AFTER taxes in the cash payout is $252,140,000 and that's AFTER state & federal taxes
$252,140,000 in your pocket free and clear. This will vary slightly from state-to-state as tax rates are slightly different , but a 1/4 of a billion free and clear that's a LOT of options
-
I would buy Nassor a jar of Nutella and new glasses with more natural looking eyes drawn onto them.
Furthermore...
-sponsor Louie Simmons gym and brand
-move to South America or Australia
-build my own private army consisting mainly of Russian/Israeli commandos
-fund various people I find interesting and of worth for the community(business men, educators, poets, soldiers)

Must be a state by state rule then, I do know it's not possible in some places.

Yes the feds take 25% right at the lotto office. However at the end of the year when you pay taxes, that number will be closer to 40% (feds alone) depending how your financial people are able to play around with the tax burden. Depending on what state you live in, the feds and state may end up getting close to 45-50% of the cash option. Were still talking over 180 million when its all said and done.

All the big lotto's(powerball-mega millions) in the country have to leave the money to the estate if the winner dies before collecting what he/she won.

Tell me about it. We still haven`t gotten over the War of Northern Aggression.

And Wiggs, do you still have that old uniform in your Armoire? You are going to need it.

Big winners share lessons, risks of Powerball win
COLUMBIA, Mo. — So you just won the $550 million Powerball jackpot, the second highest in lottery history. Now what?
Perhaps it's time for a tropical vacation or a new car. There are bills to pay, loans to settle, debts to square.
Past winners of mega-lottery drawings and financial planners have some more sound advice: Stick to a budget, invest wisely, learn to say no and be prepared to lose friends while riding an emotional roller-coaster of joy, anxiety, guilt and distrust.
"I had to adapt to this new life, "said Sandra Hayes, 52, a former child services social worker who split a $224 million Powerball jackpot with a dozen co-workers in 2006, collecting a lump sum she said was in excess of $6 million after taxes. "I had to endure the greed and the need that people have, trying to get you to release your money to them. That caused a lot of emotional pain. These are people who you've loved deep down, and they're turning into vampires trying to suck the life out of me."
The single mother kept her job with the state of Missouri for another month and immediately used her winnings to pay off an estimated $100,000 in student loans and a $70,000 mortgage. She spent a week in Hawaii and bought a new Lexus, but six years later still shops at discount stores and lives on a fixed income — albeit, at a higher monthly allowance than when she brought home paychecks of less than $500 a week.
"I know a lot of people who won the lottery and are broke today," she said. "If you're not disciplined, you will go broke. I don't care how much money you have."
Lottery agencies are keen to show off beaming prize-winners hugging oversize checks at celebratory news conferences, but the tales of big lottery winners who wind up in financial ruin, despair or both are increasingly common.
There's the two-time New Jersey lottery winner who squandered her $5.4 million fortune. A West Virginia man who won $315 million a decade ago on Christmas later said the windfall was to blame for his granddaughter's fatal drug overdose, his divorce, hundreds of lawsuits and an absence of true friends.
The National Endowment for Financial Education cautions those who receive a financial windfall — whether from lottery winnings, divorce settlements, cashed-out stock options or family inheritances — to plan for their psychological needs as well as their financial strategies. The Denver-based nonprofit estimates that as many as 70 percent of people who land sudden windfalls lose that money within several years.
"Being able to manage your emotions before you do anything sudden is one of the biggest things," said endowment spokesman Paul Golden. "If you've never had the comfort of financial security before, if you were really eking out a living from paycheck to paycheck, if you've never managed money before, it can be really confusing. There's this false belief that no matter what you do, you're never going to worry about money again."
David Gehle, who spent 20 years at a Nebraska meatpacking plant before he and seven ConAgra Foods co-workers won a $365 million Powerball jackpot in 2006, used some of his winnings to visit Australia, New Guinea and Vietnam. He left ConAgra three weeks after he won, and now spends his time woodworking and playing racquetball, tennis and golf.
But most of his winnings are invested, and the 59-year-old still lives in his native Lincoln. He waited for several years before buying a $450,000 home in a tidy neighborhood on the southern edge of town.
"My roots are in Nebraska, and I'm not all that much different now than I was before," Gehle said. "I'm pretty normal. I never was the kind of guy who went for big, expensive cars or anything like that. I just want something that runs."
In the first year after he won, Michael Terpstra would awaken many nights in a panic. Had he slept in? Was he late to work the night shift?
"At times I'd wake up and this would all seem like a dream," the 54-year-old said. "I'd have to walk around the house and tell myself, I did win. I'm not working anymore, and I do live here. I didn't get drunk, break into someone's house and go to sleep. This is where I'm supposed to be."
His new home is a roomy, two-story house in south Lincoln with a big-screen television and paintings of Jesus on the walls. He no longer uses alarm clocks and spends his days taking his 92-pound black lab, Rocco, on walks.
He was terrified when he first won, convinced that he would lose all of the money and have to return to work. So he lives carefully off the interest from conservative investments, with help from accountants and lawyers. He bought the new house and a truck, but struggles to name any extravagant purchases.
"I can't buy a super yacht. I can't buy a Gulfstream," he said. "Then again, I don't think I'd use either one, so why would I buy one?"
That said, some mega-winners still can't resist the lure of big jackpots, at least not the two-buck chances. On Tuesday, former ConAgra worker Dung Tran, a Vietnamese immigrant, walked into the same Lincoln U-Stop where he purchased the winning ticket six years ago and bought 22 more from the very employee who sold him the first prize-winner, said cashier Janice Mitzner.
"We joked about it," she said. "I told him, `Wouldn't it be something if you won again?'"
Hayes is also hoping to strike rich again — she bought 10 tickets at a Dirt Cheap liquor store on her way home Tuesday while speaking with an Associated Press reporter. Unlike many big winners, she has kept a visible public profile instead of going underground, appearing on a 2007 reality TV show ("Million Dollar Christmas"), writing an online Life After the Lottery blog and self-publishing a short book, "How Winning the Lottery Changed My Life."
"We have this drawing tomorrow, and if somebody wins, God bless them," she said. "They're going to need those blessings."

why not work? im not following?

i would hire P.I's round the clock to follow and collect intelligence on political leaders, public policy leaders and high level cops. first detective to find one of them guilty of an indictable offence gets 500k, on TOP of their salary. I'd have my government cleaned up in no time, or at least put a big dint in it. i would also encourage public participation as well, eventually creating my own independent media source.

Simple minds do need simple tasks. I agree, its what is best for them. Otherwise they go out of their worried little minds.

Johnny, I will give you 10 million when I win. However, you will have to agree to eat meat at least once a week in order to claim your prize.
-
I would pay someone to cut off Johnny Falcon's internet
-
I would double my post count by assigning duties like cooking and laundry to someone else, who I would pay in exotic cigars and silk scarves
-
I bought one ticket for shits and giggles. It's not worth buying any more than one $2 ticket.
You have a greater chance of dying during the next 30 seconds than winning the Mega or Powerball lottery.

No you don`t, unless you are about to die. People who pretend these are valid statistics are morons. I have seen so many bullshit ones flying around.

despite all of the astronomical odds someone is still going to win that money.
-
2 people hit this thing. Imagine what they are going to feel like today.
-
If I won this, I would get all my friends gifts, for the rest of their lives.
But not normal, "cool" gifts. I mean I would have like 1000 pineapples delivered to someone's house.
Just really creative, obnoxious stuff to piss your buddies off.

5. A 24 hour security team.
My mission would be to make more money with a goal of increasing my net worth to 5 billion in 5 year. 50 billion in 20. Work on my underground city would quietly be taking place all the while.
