just heard on the news it's up to 540 million. biggest jackpot ever. it comes to about 10-12 million a year for 30 years after taxes. when i win it, i'll have a cake made, in the shape of a toilet. white chocolate seat and lid, lower part a nice 4 layer white cake shaped like the bowl. in the middle of where the bowl is would be a deuce shaped piece of dark mousse, with I QUIT spelled out in peanuts on it. i'd take it to work and put it on my manager's desk.



If you take the annuity instead of a lump sum, you're insane.

If it's above $540 million, that's a lump sum over $320 million. If you only invest $200 million of that, leaving $120 million to play with, you'll make $12 million+ a year in interest alone.



Where you getting 6% interest returns from? Spain bonds?

Finally, some more realism in this here thread. Everyone needs to squander it, and let's knock all that charity BS off. You know that won't happen. You will HATE charities a week after you win the lotto because they'll be bugging the ever loving crap out of you, INCLUDING the ones you used to like.

They already do that and I'm not worth $500m Donate once and suddenly you get nothing but spam mail from 'em. Pisses me off, and it's a waste of money too.

that depends entirely how large your ambition is.

I'd spend a crapload to have people go out and dig up dirt on Mithan and then use it to black mail him into making me king of ACF

yeah!

500M taken over 20 years or in a lump sum is more than I could spend. I would probably take it in lump and spend a lot of millions in real estate. Probably the safest shelter I could put $ in. It would not be all in one parcel either.
