Way more money I could ever make use of for myself or my family.

I would give most of it away. Things like sponsoring stuff at my Alma Mater and so on. Anonymously, of course.

Snail Academy?
LOOK EVERYBODY!  I GOT MY NAME IN LIGHTS!

Folks, play nice.

I've always been fascinated by the rush to get a ticket once the jackpot rises to ridiculous levels.

I mean, I don't know about you but I'm pretty sure I'd be just as happy with 20 million instead of 600.

Once you get over a certain threshold it's all just icing on the cake, imo. If you're smart enough to invest, anyway. If you're just planning on spending until it's gone then yeah, the more the merrier.

Really the first thing to do after a jackpot win is to form a budget. Try not to spend the cash. Invest it and live off the dividends. I know that I, as a single 23 year-old, could probably afford 99% of what I want with something just north of 100K/year. Money like that can last forever if you do it right.

Anyway, in this economy I'd take a lump sum for sure. Probably invest heavily in metals in case the dollar implodes.

I would buy a sub and fill it full of strippers.  Most pictures of subs I've seen, look they already have a stripper pole installed.  They even have an exterior pole.  I seen one in the movie 1941....

I wish people would use the wish list forum to post their brilliant ideas, and be smart enough to not post all their stupid ones.

But I am under no disillusions of my wish ever being fulfilled.

Buy all the airplanes I can fit in the oversized hangar I would build. Id also buy my dad the house he wants in Oregon.
