Being that the mega-millions lottery is up to over $250,000,000 imagine if you were the sole winner. What would you do?

I think I'd buy an island for starters and throw a humungous party. Kinda like a DOA on steroids

While I would never play the lottery for the sole reason many winners actually were worse off after winning than when they were broke or middle class, I would keep about 5 million in the bank and use the rest to help others or send to the charities that actually use the money for good. Would definately use some to fix up some of my properties to their full potential.

I would buy mtv and destroy every pos-record they have in stock + i will go in person to the "artists" home and tell them they are FIRED from music and BANNED forever , then i'll put on some oldschool rockvideo's and newer ones ,force people to listen to some real music :-D, ow and for my own i would build me a bed MADE out of woman , so i can roll over and say wiiiiiiiiiii, after that i'll start my own country on an island (shredeania) and lay down my own rules... i'll probably have to win the lottery a couple times for all of that ....

I would buy a decent house maybe 5 bedrooms (one very large for a guitar room) then I would make sure the house had a 10 car garage and then go shopping

+ 1 on Joris' suggestion! Lol
There is a theory which says more money more problems. However, I would buy some land deep into Kent (completely out the way of people), build my own house with a full size cricket field in the back garden and invite Australia round so I can kick their ass like Strauss and co did!
I'd ensure widlife around the area were protected and have a "shoot on site" policy for upper-class hunting twats. Hell, it's my area so they'd be lots of secret burial area. Ha ha
Of course, I'd buy ***loads of guitars and amps. Also, a Boesendorfer "Schubert" piano (to go in my concert hall of course, der).
I'd also hire out the O2 and put on a series of concerts with quality metal bands.
For all the peyps on here and the ST, I'd hire out the 02 again (I'm sure they wont refuse some serious wonga) and bring Mike over with a live band. Tickets would be free of course.
I'd have a number of projects such as promoting organic products (wholefoods, clothing, toiletries, paper etc...), open a string of specialist music schools in Lewisham (there are a number of empty buldings which would suffice), start up a number of cricket academies in Lewisham (the whole borough- probably 1 per area).
I'd keep 20% of what I won in the bank and then give the rest to charities which, like Brian, I know won't just pocket the money themselves or take the majority then give miniscule amounts to who they're representing.
I'd also buy a video camera.......... ;D

I'd get my own place, give some to family and people who I think deserve a break, travel around the world.
I don't think I'd know what to do with it all really.

No need for a risik analyst ? I'd apply... Who measures the risk that risk analysts pose ?

I would buy a small soccer team, then make good conditions to have a good formation for young stars, like, build a good stadium, get good material, etc etc.

@ Scyll- I'd measure the rick and then come to the conclusion I wouldn't give a *** as long as I got loads of money. It's a pretty fool-proof plan. Lol
@ Rafinha- Are you a Benfica or Sporting fan? From your Avatar, I'd guess Benfica in which case, you will hate Ronaldo as much as I do (I'm an Arsenal fan).

Ah, OK. Wait til you're 18 and then move to Sporting on a free transfer. Do you purposely score own goals when you play against Sporting? Ha ha.

Haha, no.
But if I score a goal against Sporting I wont celebrate.
But if you are a good player, normally after you are 18, you go play for a " mid-tabble " team, then you can advance to sporting, porto or benfica, then if you are really good, you go to itally, spain our england.
Cristiano Ronaldo made like 3 seasons in portugal ( sporting ) then he went to Man United, and now he made the worst decision in his whole life and went to real madrid.
