Well I would definitely have a maid. I would also put 10,000 dollars in the bank in case I go bankrupt and lose everything. Then I would buy a new house.

I would put it in my Swiss bank account with rest of my millions. I would go into space maybe and see the oort-cloud (probably take more than a lottery win to get there) and buy a whole row of terraced houses knock them through to make a big house but keep the original fronts just to confuse the post man

If I had won a lottery, and I would only play if the winnings reached above 60 million dollars. (so Lets just say the lottery is 63 Million dollars)

well first off you will have to consider, the government will take about 32% of your winnings though tax. now that is toughly 29m, youve still got about 34m left, which will probably be paid in an annuity to you of 500,000 USD a year. Now with working you could rake in 600,000 dollars a year roughly, concluding you have finished college and specialize in a trade. or you can not work. the average person consumes 100.2% of that money, borrowing on debt (100.2% of 100k, yes those numbers are right, 100 and .2 percent, so for every dollar earned they consume 1 dollar and 20 cents)
so now we have that out of the way. the bible says, we should give 10 percent of our income to god (no offense to those who do not believe in a higher order of power) so weve got about 400k-(400k*.1) 40,000 dollars a year to the church (wow some ppl are going to be happy) that still leaves around 300k a year spending money, personally, with that 300k a year, id probably buy a piece of land and renovate it turning it into a preservation or some sort. i would probably end up building more schools than preservations of land, because personally i feel that schooling shapes the future of our world. and it is better to prune those closest to the sun.

Buy a nice cardboard box set it out behind the harris teeter, and lay down the money and use it as a bathroom.

Depends on how much I won. If it's something like 30 million I would give 10 million for my own family, 5 million to distant relatives, 5 million to different kinds of charity, and enjoy leisure with my other 10 that's left.

I'll save most of the remnant after the government collects the tax it so badly wants. >_>

Then I'll just...go out for some nice food, take a relaxing holiday with my family. Possibly buy some good books and Nazi antiques.

Then back to daily life.

After 30 years, I'll take the interest out of the bank!
