It is fun to think about. There are a few things I know I would do, and some that I'm not sure about.

- I would travel, a ton. See the world and spend significant amounts of time with loved ones.

- I would take a solid few months to really let it sink in, and come up with a plan to move forward.

- I would hire the best and brightest financial planning people I could find to help me execute on the plan noted above. Likely this includes a mixture of super safe investments, taking care of family / friends core financial needs, philanthropic work, and some set aside for angel investments / building a few companies personally. Yes, I would continue to work. Not because I need the money, but because I'd go insane without engaging on that level. But I'd be able to delegate much more.

- Spending time developing skills in areas I'm passionate about. Photography, cooking, etc. Most things are tightly coupled to travel and experiencing different cultures.

As far as the material stuff goes, probably a handful of properties (which I would likely use as income sources), a couple dream vehicles, a sailboat, and awesome Bears seats.

I am a simple man.

I'd endow a foundation and run it, spend the rest of my life funding radical left wing organizations. Not the centrist pussy shit people around here call left wing, the groups that might really bring the system down.

If I win this I think I would change my identity as my first order of business. Move somewhere warm. Buy all my peeps a house or clear their debt. See how much my church needs also. After that who knows travel and buy toys. Be adventurous with business ideas to keep me occupied so I don’t slip into boredom and and up dead snorting blow off a hoes ass. I would have to also do not church related charitable work.

Was going to make my own post, but this says it all.

Always thought it was odd that people will come out and buy tickets now, but wouldn't budge when it was like 300 million.

ROI isn't good enough at 300M

Once it hits 1B then the ROI is decent enough.

I kid.... I think it is just the advertising and chatter around it when it gets this high.

TBH I don't often think about it.... then it hits 1B and my Mom texts me "Wanna throw 20$ into a lottery pool?" and sure, I'm in.

I would buy some illegal immigrants then force them do work around the Omelet Estates and they would live there forever. And they could never leave.

If you win you can buy you're own Dunkin Donuts and not have to worry about standing in line. It's upsetting when customers in front of you count out change...............lol

Have a better chance of being sainted by @crystallas than winning any Powerball.

Give away a lot of it, but a few things I would do for self,

1) Build a Norm Abrams workshop
2) Hire Leno for ideas and Mecum for the inventory
3) Buy the very best seats for every single baseball team. Go to any game I want when I wanted. All unused tickets would be given away by the team to some underprivileged kids

F the Khalil Mack/Jon Gruden idea. Let's use it for lottery tickets instead.
