Buy my Charger. Get a nice house in a neighborhood I don't have to worry about. Pay off the Wife and I's student loans. Help the family out. Nice things for nice people. Have decent things. Nothing crazy. Go down to part time and work maybe two days a week. Sponsor myself to play Call of Duty  |

I'd get a nice little cat car to get me to and from work/school next year. I'd put aside a good chunk of it aside for any new figures from RSC I want.

Move to whore island and drown in a sea of margaritas and women. Correction: Buy whore island I've always wanted to own a bar. Open a nice nightclub. Park the Lambo in the front. I would suspect it would be hard to spend $300mil (after tax) in a lifetime. In interest alone, you'd be making a few hundred thousand a year. |

If you live a ridiculous life, you can go through 300 million very quickly, especially as there is no continuous source of income, unless you create one with the money. Why do you think you see so many broke athletes who made hundreds of millions of dollars?

I'd pay off my mum's bills. Maybe move house, im content where I live despite it being a bit of a crap hole lol. I would probably just buy things I want and use it mainly to bye every day things. I'd probably buy myself a film studio also.  |

1. Hire a good lawyer & accountant
2. Become debt-free (pay of all expenses)
3. My wife and I already have a house in NH, but I'd buy a place in Maine near her parents and a villa in FL near Disney
4. Buy a new truck
5. Buy a 1970 Dodge Charger
6. Retire and enjoy life
7. Visit JAKKS and make them produce a limited set of CS 28 (original line-up) and a LOTR Scott Steiner for me!
8. Attend WrestleMania every year.
9. Be able to have my parents and in-laws retire
10. I would donate a lot as that amount of money is just WAAAAY too much for me.
Nothing huge. I won't change the way i live. I may add a small addition to our existing ranch-style house.

Why do you think you see so many broke athletes who made hundreds of millions of dollars? You gotta think though athletes have their money come in within a 10 year window per say. If your talkin nfl it's prob less. Once they stop playing income is over. If you win the mega millions you can take it over I believe 30 years so it's basically like having a job if your jn your 20s. |

Most people take the cash option with lottery tickets, which gives you less, but all in 1 lump sum payment. Honestly, I would take it all up front. Because 30 years is a LONG time, and who knows WHAT can happen in that time frame. A lot of things can happen that will cause you not to get what is owed to you. |

buy a nice house and all the things I ever wanted growing up (which would probably blow through about a million all together)
I'd buy The ECW Arena, and let CHIKARA & CZW run there the way they want to. I'd probably give CHIKARA a few hundred grand to just book the company the way they want to without worrying about money.
Otherwise, I'd just relax knowing I don't have to do any work for the rest of my life

Why do you think you see so many broke athletes who made hundreds of millions of dollars? Yeah, the problem with most athletes is the ones that busted, like Iverson, got like $10 or $15 mil a year. If you get a lump sum of $350mil, and just put it in a savings account, you are going to be making high 6 figures in interest a year. Makes it a bit harder to blow it when you are making $400k a year just by having money in your bank. You aren't getting that kind of return by making $10mil a year, even though it is a ton of money. Thats why it makes it harder to blow a lump f $350mil than these athletes who get paid yearly. They blow as they go. |

Buy my own bar
Open a tea room
House
To be honest, most of mine would go on business ventures, I always think of things that i'd love to set up, it would give me the capital to do it.

Well, to start, I'd go to my job, with the winning ticket in hand and laugh at everyone while picking up my final check. Now let's say I have the money and I can freely spend. I would:
- Buy a nice house where I want to live.
- Buy myself a car of my dreams.
- Buy the most expensive, nicest glass display for my Mattel collection.
- Buy amazing furniture and a huge TV for the house.
- Go on the biggest shopping spree for clothes ever.
- Go on a Toys R Us shopping spree for WWE figures!
- Attend Wrestlemania every year first class!
- Purchase every WWE Blu-Ray and the most expensive player out there.
- Donate to any animal fund.
I think that's it for now. I'm sure I'll think of more.

I have no desire for mansions, cars and other such things.
I'd like to put it away so I never have to work again. Buy a modest home suitable to my needs and spend the rest on luxuries such as alcohol and prostitutes.

Kill my Ex-Wife, then hire the world's most skilled assassins to depose of the body and get me off Scott free. Buy out any major corporation/restaurant that hurts today's economy in any way even if it's essential. Invent some money into family and new luxury homes in other countries. Learn at least 3 different languages and speak fluently. Invest more money in the bank. Buy out Google and reinvent Youtube to the way it was back in 2007. I'll update when more comes to mind.

This is probably the wrong thread for this, but lotteries in general irritate me. There is something about the state regressively taxing poor people that pisses me off. It's so morally wrong it's ridiculous.
