Lump Sum and invest enough to be making significant money off my money.

Take the rest and buy a house in LA, Florida, Montana/Colorado, Tuscany and a few other places in Europe. Buy a few businesses that will keep me making money without working...probably something to do with real estate.

Then get my 2 best friends and live entourage style for years.

Lump sum. Pay an overly inflated price for the OC.

I like this plan. What are you thinking? Maybe $25-30?

The last thing on your mind should be bills. Poor people think like poor people, the rich find a way to make more money with the money that they have. I guarantee you if a rich person won the lottery, they'd be thinking about how they can leverage their "loaned" money to make even more money.

That's what makes America great.

I'd pack a suit case like Raoul Duke, buy a classic convertible ElDorado Caddy and road trip to Vegas.

If I did win the lottery I would actually try turning the OC into an actual, legit business. Hire a team of developers and actually pay moderators.

I was thinking $48. Should I have my lawyer start the paperwork?

It would take an hour to pay off all of my current bills, not really a difficult task.

I'd go lump sum and pay off all my debts and fix the issues with my house. Would probably take $150 mil to hire a lawyer, accountant, and investments.

Then I'd split the rest up so that my family and close friends would get about a mil each.

And a McDonald's franchise. Would definitely buy a few of those...

Not sure. It wouldn't be a full time gig so I wouldn't probably pay enough to not have another job.

Chalk up another student loan repayment here. Get rid of that.

I'd also try to find me a full-time coaching job. As soon as that was done, I'd buy or build a house. I want a house. I am tired of living off of nothing and having nothing. I've been graduated for almost 5 years and have yet been able to get a full-time job OR pay off hardly any student loans.

By 2013, I hope to have my first full-time job. Sucks. But, it is what it is. I have yet to buy a lottery ticket, so I will be buying several tonight. Since I haven't done it before, is there a certain time that the ticket needs bought before? Also, when do they announce the numbers? Can I find the numbers online?

I'd also like to give some money to several people that have helped me throughout the years. Parents, best friends, certain relatives, in-laws, and certain people (families) who really helped me get going after college. I'd also give some money to the programs that I have coached or been a part of. Definitely important for me to give back.

Again, I'll take the yearly payouts.

Eff student loans.

We are in the processing of laying the smackdown on our student loans, paying an extra $800/month on them sombitches. Hope to have them gone by December 2013.

If I won the lottery, those would be the first things to go...

Lump sum

1. Pay off debt (everyone but sleeper agrees with this)
2. Start a trust fund for my daughter
3. Take an awesome vacation with all of my closest family and friends
4. Give a sizable donation to a few venues in exchange for choice tickets to any event I want for life
5. Buy stake in the Reds
6. Invest wisely
7. Continue to serve in the Navy for four more years, to reach retirement.
