it's like minus 45 percent tax plus like 5 percent state tax lol.
I don't think you'd turn your nose up at $6.5 million though.

lol i just think the way they advertise is very deceiving. Like, it's at probably 500 mil after taxes and stuff. I'm not saying that's a lot of money but that's less than half of what you're being told you'd win.

If I won the lottery I'd give my parents what they need to pay off their debt and move to a nicer part of the country. Then I'd get rid of whatever's left because I don't want it

tbh the first day of having that money cashed id probably go get myself a nice dinner, probably at the all you can eat sushi place nearby. i'd then focus on immigrating to where i have been wanting to live. thats pretty much it

My mom entered the powerball yesterday :O

If I won, I probably give some money to my friends to help them out with funding their college. After that I would move out into a house of my own in a nicer area with my bf and buy a few decent looking cars. Then I would give a good chunk of it to my parents and brother so they can do whatever they please with it. Finally, I would probably just set us up for life and go to college for artsy things instead of engineering related stuff.

first thing i'd do: tell the few friends who still owe me that they're good now lol
2nd: invest 30% in blue-chip stocks, 5% in local businesses/organizations
3rd: <4% to build a house in grand haven along the coast
4th: <1% to buy a new ever-day car, an off-roader/tow vehicle, cafe racer, and at least 1 tuner/sports car
5th: donate/personally help the homeless & families in need
and then save the rest for travelling, fun w/ friends, basically money to spend on experiences

if i won i would buy mad max on steam

i'd acquire antarctica from the world and make it my own country


There was a big af reddit post explaining what to do when you win BIG, and shows you examples of people who got loving harassed and cheated as quick millionaires.
linky?

if i won i would buy mad max on steam

what would you do with the remaining 99 cents

If it was that big a jackpot I'd give most of it (75%) to reputable charities, and still have 300+ million let over. I'd invest 225 million and the other 100 million i'd spend on making me and my family's lives better.

Well here's how you don't be murdered: don't be stupid. Pay people well, and create incentive for them to work for you. It can work, just treat everyone with respect and be polite.
next up: kony 2016

you know, we never actually caught kony back in 2012.
