Me? Give my parents anything they want. Give some to our church and then help out the rest of my family.

Well, the cash option is worth 154 million, so:

25 to the parents
25 to my sister
25 to my brother
25 for various friends/family/charity
54 for me

i'd put like 20% into a charitable trust. spend about 1% of it, 10% to the church (even though i don't beleive i'd like my daughter/other kids, to believe and get the moral basics that the church instills, i'm confident that it made me the way i am). the rest i'd just sit on and try to make my family's lives for the next 10 generations good, or at least better than mine.

31% of that $154M is taxed out of it. You're looking at $106.25 Million to split up

I'd buy about 1000 acres of land and build a house in the middle of it. Of course my family would be taken care of but some can't be trusted with money so I'd build them a house and just give them an allowance.

After my 10% to the man upstairs I would start a business that thrives in any economy and utilize the money to grow the business to employ hundreds if not thousands of people.

the total tax for 154 million would be 42.24% in ohio, including a 1% city tax. So, for the cash option you are looking at around $89 million.

I'd get bored. Plus, knowing me, I'd spend a lot of it on electronic shit and want to keep buying whatever the top items were.

It would be a pain in the ass to try and figure out who gets money and who doesn't. My wife would try to make it some sort of competition. So I'd probably just give my ticket to snotbubbles.

Call my wife and say, "Honey, pack your bags I just won the lottery."

She would answer, "where are we going?"

That's when I say, "I don't care, just be gone by the time I get home."

Some of the wealthiest people in the world don't need to work but do. There are many benefits derived from having a career. Money is only one of them.
