Guess I'd put in an elevator in my parents house so they would not have to give the place up because of stairs. (they are 86), pay off the mortgages on my brother's and sister's houses, buy property in the Bahamas (way down the chain where there aren't any people), invest most of the rest and last but not least, take 20M and fund some friggin research on CH. Oh yea, I'd keep working at my job. It be fun

If you ever win lottery its good to lock it all away for a couple of months to think very carefully how to use it.
Statistic says that 95% of people winning lottery loose it all within 2 years.
My ex won $65000 in Powerball a couple of years back and lost it all within 2 months at the Casino, the children didnt see a cent.
A patient of mine won $200000 and went to live in Thailand like a king for 2 years and came back with Hep B, Hep C and liver failure.
Some says easy come, easy go ...

Lets see.....
pay off my bills,set up an allowence for myself and children to hopefully last the rest of our lives.give my mom and Dad whatever they want /need because they so deserve to enjoy their lives.set up an account to help several charities such as american cancer society,M.S.,St. Judes ouch,and ones that feed the hungry and provide homes.the main thing is kinda two parts. first set up factories in the U.S. to put the men and women in the u.s. to work making fair money with health benefits.then set up stores that sell all Made in america only products at rates that people can afford.you best believe there would be amade in the u.s.a.
store parked next to every damned walmart til they went out of business or brought back he jobs from China back to the U.S.A. every store and factory would be checked at random to make sure theres fair and safe working conditions.To give my kids,grandkids and nieces and nephews something to do that'd be there jobs plus mine.
I would enjoy my life and family.but you know what I'll do that wether I win the lottery are stay poor.life is not a dress rehearsal so I'm gonna make it count ....

Definitely give agood bit to Mom and brother.
Buy myelf a nice but not too extrvavgent home.
Buy self a new pickup,loaded b/c I've never had that before.
Buy the fiance a new car for the very same reason as above.
Start my own chainof sandwich shops so I could get away from the corpporation that is bleeding my family dry as we speak.
Probably keep teaching so I could make a difference and make sure that schools get PE 5 days a week to help with the growing problem we have today of childhood obesity(did you know that this is the first generation in history in which it is overwhelmingly likely that parents will outlive their parents?).
Donate money to help the Special Education systems throughout b/c it is needed so much.
Hopefully, have 50-100 left over to invest wisely and turn it over so my family will live well for a long time after I'm gone

I would want a Mayflower.
And it sounds fun to build a nice house. All the planning and stuff and it would be awesome, just that I am so ADD, I probably wouldnt end up living there when its complete.

Jonny, I would do a combination of what you said first and what Vig said except our island would be used to establish a for profit organization so that I would not have to take the lump sum. Then we could build that seed money and use it to fund charitable causes that do not waste most of what they take in on expenses and outrageous salaries!
We would become self sufficient so that we could thumb our noses at whom ever we wanted to and then maybe elect a King just to have a figurehead.....hmmmm, wonder who that would be

First I would Pay the Tax man his %50 and with the rest I would try to bribe all my friends and Family to move close enough to where I could be involved daily in their lives.
Right after I returned from an extended visit to Norway(Oslo) to repay a real friend for all the years of support he has given me!
Already own my home but I would buy a new one back in Sunny South Florida, and a really nice sailboat to sail to the Bahamas,Virgin Islands and Belize in!
I am sure I would donate to charities, Like Tim said, the ones that use the money without eating it all up in administration cost in the name of Non-Profit so they don't have to pay taxes. Maybe start my own to help returning Veterans that have lost limbs and health in the name of defending our freedom!

1. I would set up a trex. fund for anyone here who needs it but can't get enough when needed.
2. I'd pay off my bar tab.
3. I would spend 2 or 3 months being entertained by the bankers who I'm sure would be kissing my ass trying to get me to put my money in their banks. Then telling all of them to go "F" themselves.
4. Get Chewy a lifetime membership pass to the bath house and a suite at the Rio in Vegas.
5. Build a log home on the lake in northern Minnesota.
6. Take care of Family and a few friends who have always helped me when needed.
7. Pay for the new roof that is needed at the church.
8. Buy a new lighter

I really don't need the money. We already live in a nice park. Not the rich area with the double wides but nice just the same.
But, if I won that would mean I'm on a lucky streak. I'd by another lottery ticket.
And some new shoes.

I would use it to buy an Australian woman a boob job, a tummy tuck, and laser surgery to remove what appears to be a hideous tattoo of Gregshotchick from her chest.

Start a big smiley site.....  
I've thought about this over the years. I'm older now so I don't think I'd build a house; maybe rennovate a few.
I'd like to get a nice very comfortable New York apartment and spend months travelling around the world.
There are a couple I kids that would have their college education paid for. Also, I could at least try to get even with a lot of clusterheads in ways I can't imagine.
I have some other pet projects and a few people to help as well.
It would likely be hard work.

Wow, good question Jonny. I've thought of what I would do with the money should I win - if I were to ever play of course  - i'm right along with everybody on what they would do - I would wake up from fainting, pay debts, mine and my family members, set up college funds for my sister's 3 kids, buy my dream house, dream car, invest, travel. I do have to say I feel RICHLY blessed already...so all is good  .

OFcourse, first of all, I would make sure my son and grandson , mom and siblings were taken care of financially for life...i would take them to Disneyworld...I would donate millions of dollars to clusterheads that are suffering even to some that arent suffering rite now....I would go to England to see Mo and John who I have not heard from in years...I would travel all over the world...me and Tristan, the grandson. I would donate to alot of charities, Church, etc....and I would build a super big house with plenty of maids to keep it clean LOL...Then this ole nurse would retire with a smile on her face! And last but not least, I would sponsor a huge Clusterheadache convention in Florida where I would fly everyone there free.... smiles, nancyc
