You got to watch everybody when you're dealing with money ESPECIALLY white collar cause they're a little slicker about how they do it...You think Bernie Madoff stole 50 billion on his looks? and yeah you could sue and you could spend the rest of your life and fortune fighting it out in court Also why if you were a hair dresser would you think or even want...

A Hotel Resort in Vegas would be the best business to own period.

Take the Hard Rock for instance:

9 restaurants

4 concert venues

A world class fitness center

Spa and Salon

tons of pools with cabanas equiped with everything, even a TV.

You would imagine the top managers there have meet every celeb that stayed there and were backstage at all those concerts

I think you have it right on eliminating the commercials-over-the air thing.

But, I would be looking into some valuable land - maybe invest in gold.

I'd be in the business of being a venture capitalist.

Helping others create businesses would create many more jobs than my one or two businesses could.

And I could still live like I was on permanent vacation as well as have much availability for volunteer work, which is what any obscenely weathly person should be doing.

Can you see a hair dresser winning a lottery and then deciding to open up a big used car dealership?

I think you should open up your own Hair Salon. Stick with what you know.

Good luck

What financial people? Are you talking about mutual funds where some fund trader has the right to trade you in and out of stocks and bonds for losses? I'm confused why anyone would want to do that. In anything never let anyone have control of your checkbook or accounts for any reason. period. Open individual accounts and purchase the direct stocks and bonds you want and they just sit there. I would go with large commercial firms like citi, wells fargo, jp morgan, or goldman sachs for all account... [ More ]

I think I get what veganlife is saying. Running a business is very hard work. Even harder if you want it to be successful. And the point of the lottery to most people is to stop working.

I personally think proper investing and managing the kind of money the current JP is up to is a full time job. The people who think a lottery windfall is to be spent and nothing else are the ones who end up broke. Even if you hire someone to manage it for you, it's a job to monitor that person.

I assume most people who would win millions in a jackpot want to quit work and obligation not pick up new ones. Apartments, restaurants, storage buildings ect.? Are you serious? Why? When you run a business its a full time obligation staying competitive much less watching people around you for theft. Business is for making your first million/millions not continuing after you have millions secured from a lottery!

You have some excellent ideas to start.

Chick-fil-A. Is an equal opportunity employer. Where the owner decides to donate is his business. The same with any privately owned company. It is extremely difficult to get an operator ship with them. having money to invest, will not get you in the door, unlIke other companies that only look for the color green.

self storage would be great. Find the right manager and geographic location, like on top of a hill so that it doesn'flood.
