Steve, since clearly TC and Dave won big, we'll have to convince them to throw a cover or two our way.

I call dibs on "Hulk: The End"'s cover.

Also would make sure all you guys got a little something as well!
No...Charity's... their crooks !!, I'd go to people that need it, hell w/ that much green, I'd help people directly but
through a resource that's unknown so no one would be getting fatter off others and I would not be bugged for more.

Heck, you could say to hell with investing, SPEND $500,000 a year, and the winnings will last 440 years.

Trust me, how to invest to keep the money coming in will be the last of your concerns.
I was told gold is where its at, buy half of it in gold,
you could live off the interest of gold alone

I'd defiantly take care of my family and friends plus I'd have two lawyer's, one to watch the other and to take care of any legal issues,
that will arise

Plenty of charities out there that aren't crooked, but there's almost as many that are VERY crooked, for sure.

These days I give most of my charity money to the link in my signature, and WolfHaven.org.

Or f#ck Charity and volunteer at Habitat for Humanity/etc, building houses and whatnot; that's an awesome way to contribute without spending money.

.. and yeah, gold's always a sound investment; agreed.

For me such amounts are like social war.
ONE person gets one of the richest persons alive.

BUT:

1.000 could become rich
10.000 wealthy
100.000 get rid of their biggest finacial problems
1.000.000 poor people could be saved from diyng from hunger

10.000 wealthy would be best probably ..for economy, social fairness, and for letting people still letting play lottery...

Just my 3 cents..

Most people would just piss it away if you gave them money. You don't have the same respect for a dollar someone gives you as you do a dollar you earn.
You could give ten people a million dollars 4 would be broke and 5 would be in debt within a year. 1 person might have the sense not to squander it.

Helping those that can't do it them self's.. is the best IMO, never just give it away, unless its for animals or children !

I guess I'd be the one if I did win.. I grew up not having much, you never forget the value of money,
to this day, I've kept my finances in check, from age 20 owning just a car and a weeks worth of clothes,
to buying my own home, 3 cars and a few other things just before hitting 40,
earning every thing with out the help from any one (period) !
IMO.. I think your off one or two people's
