  I would give away $10 million of the first money to various family members and charities.  The other $40 million I would invest in an empire earn even more.  And be like that guy that won the Powerball and say he wants to be a billionaire now.  haha

  Since this leave open the far stretches of ones imagination to even hit a 50 milion dollar payout-

  Here goes my far fetched investing stradegy:

  1: Real estate for myself and my parent.

  2: Set up trust for my heirs

  3: Privately/anonymously give charity to causes that are health related.

  4: Hire an accountant. Hire a lawyer.

  Then with the $3.99 I'd have after taxes, I'd buy a box of chocolate and still consider myself blessed for having a wonderful family!

  Count your smiles.

  I would buy my grandmother a new house.  I wouldn't worry about college tuition anymore.  I would give some to feed the children and St. Jude.  I would also buy a new car..  HUMMER

  How are you going to win if you don't play?

  To me playing the lotteries is giving money away.
  If I ever win a jackpot I plan to change my strategy and start keep some for myself.

  Well thanks for replying. Just wondered what people would do with the money.
  
  Me I want to be lottomike's best friend.
  
  
  Seriously, 30 million I'd give away to people and different charities. I'd like to also open a help shelter for people that need a helping hand. 10 million I'd stash away. And the other 10 million pretty much what ever I wanted.

  I would all share it with my mother and my brother equally. And would give $500,000 to my uncle and cousins. There are eleven of them all together. Let the uncle decide who gets what. Thats a lot of money for them, since they do not live in the states. It would probably be equivalent to $5,000,000 here.  Another $200,000 to other friends here in the states and outside.

  You forget about Uncle Sam's $15M but he won't.
