It starts out at "The Shell", your local seafood restaurant...where you're a waiter. You've worked there since you bought yourself a car, and have hated it since the first day you worked there. Every Friday after work, you would go to your local grocery store to buy a lottery ticket. One day, after a long and particularly tiring day at work, you buy a ticket and are suddenly taken over by some force. You pick your 6 numbers, and then leave. The next night, you watch the numbers. The first 5 numbers are the ones you picked. Then the last number...shoot it's a...NO! Wait it's your number! You've won the jackpot. you call in and claim your prize.

Your winnings come out to over $654,000,000!
What do you do with the money?

Better question:

What don't you do with the money?

Anyways, I think I would take 54 million of that and invest it in a business or something, the rest I'd keep to pay mine and my family and friends bills, lol.

That's quite a sum of money.
Well first off I would buy 3 new cars of my selection. Then buy a few laptops, a new camera, a grand piano, a house, several TVs, pay off the bills, then use money as new stuff comes along. Oh and put some for my college fund and some for investments. Also put some in the bank so it will grow $0.10 a second.

Take that extreme amount of money, and buy a ticket in the lottery for each possible combination of numbers.

Then win again, and again, and again ;D

I'm not sure if you'd lose money or not though... and I'm quite sure the regulators (aka government) would never allow you to do this :P

I would buy a safe bigger than a house, put furniture in the house, then guard the remaining money with a Machine Gun.

I'd buy whatever I wanted to at first. Then I'd invest a 1/20th of it in stocks.

Put 300 million in the bank, spend maybe.. 10-15 million in total on all the luxury things that I can imagine, not too much tho, buy a plot of land somewhere in britain and build a huge villa with enough room for me and my mates to live in, I'll pay for everythin, no jobs needed, and holidays whenever we fancy it Give parents enough money so they don't have to work for the rest of their lives and then some and when I have just a few pennies left, buy Liverpool FC.

Buy a part of Microsoft, then watch the money increase. Buy a reserved seat at the New Meadowlands Stadium for Jets games, and then when I get enough money, I'll buy the Jets.

$654M after taxes, would give you approximately $392.4M.

Assuming you go for the 26-year payout, that's a cool $15M per year, or $1.257M per month, or about $41,350 per day.

If you go for a lump-sum payout, they generally give you a lot less, but you'd probably still walk away with about 70% of the lump sum ($450M "cash value&quot, minus taxes, so let's say somewhere around $270M in cold hard cash in the bank.

Either way, I'd offer to buy the site from Dan, make him work for me... ;o)

Lottery winnings in BC (my province in Canada) are tax free as far as I know, since the lottery's run by the government.

I could be mistaken though, but that's what I've heard. >.<

Well, I would probably, buy a lamp shade, sombe batteries, a gumball, a pony, pony food, some candles, a pillow, a lighter, a grill, a pumpkin, a coffe cup, a pencil, an eraser, a baby, a knive, the rights to the letter 7, some string, one shoe, a dog bone, a flash light, a printer, a magic broom stick....

that should put a big dent in my fortune.

Vacations for my family, college for myself and my sisters, a new house for myself and my parents. Donate some to charity and persue my time at leisure to do what I want to, from writing to traveling the world.

Put 300 million in the bank...

I wouldn't put that much money in the bank...I don't think they even take that much. I would have a big 3-inch thick steel safe with laser machineguns and a panic room where at least I could swim in my money before I die (Not really )
