None of the "not go broke" jokes.The rest of us don't know your spending habits.

Mine: Stay away from lousy financial attorneys. .for starters.

Safe to say, everybody would absolutely go to lottery headquarters.

I'm probably here unless I'm not.

Move?

I don't think there's one thing, but that is one of the things I'd absolutely do. There are definitely other things I know I would absolutely do, but that's the big one.

I would go down to party city and shop for a nice costume/disguise for the press conference.

Or I would get some plastic surgery so I could go down and claim my money under my new name. Michael Jackson.

Before or after collecting the money? Before I'd be just waiting for the check to clear and after....well it would be like someone fired a starter's pistol LOL.....then I'd be in go mode til I decided to stop

Winning for me would mean that my mom would be taken very good care of for the rest of her life, my grandkids would get a quality education and good start in life and me i'm still thinking about what would truly make me happy

Hahahahaha. IKR?

Okay, I'm assuming we're not counting all the things we know to do: moving, changing phone numbers, finding a good financial advisor and lawyer etc etc

After all of the givens, what would we do?

I'd absolutely have to have some insane, selfish, spend-it-like-I'm-crazy time.

Good for Gloria to be doing her same old-same old and shopping at Walmart. I can revert back to my regular haunts after I go crazy for about a month or 2. Set aside a mil to do any and every crazy outlandish thing I've ever wanted to do.

Because you know what would suck? Not going hog wild & living it up for at least awhile and then keel over from a heart attack or get hit by a bus.

Some of these winners if they dropped dead tomorrow their lives would have been no different than if they hadn't won. What's the point? What a waste.

I too would prefer Cersei Lannister to Tiny Hands. She always pays her debts, hasn't filed 6 bankruptcies and is educated enough to know Nambia isn't a country.

"i'm still thinking about what would truly make me happy"

You might not realize it but you already listed the things that would truly make you happy.

And that's a good thing.
