Nice to dream, but does anyone really want to be that wealthy? Could you stay in your home and buy nice things without fear of being robbed or would you move to a gated community for safety?

Everywhere you go and every person you meet you'd have to watch your back. Still... I bought a ticket. Someone has to feed Autumn and Finzz. Dontknow

Lotteries are nothing but taxes for people bad at math. You have better odds of death by falling off a toilet than winning the lottery.

I would set around $5-$10m for family and friends fund. All of them. They would have to apply to get any money and make it clear that they are not getting any more, ever.

I would buy a remote property with a bunker and have a couple of properties in some cities.

Then I would travel the world.

I would want to donate some money to an existing non-profit.

Mo money mo problems.

Interesting. I don't really have any family left, so that just leaves a literal handful of people. I'd buy a modest car and small house then go to work as a full-time philanthropist. Rather than travel, I'd get a personal chef. Eat

Set up a LLC, that way you don't need to be made public if you win.

Yep, that's what you gotta do if you can. First a lottery attorney and then an LLC. Preferably in a state like Delaware. Then a good tax attorney.
