True that. I’ve already looked up good financial planners here.

I would love to win, keep a few mil for myself and my daughter and her extended family. Then give the rest to worthy charities. Just think of all the good you could do in the world with that pile of bucks. Yes, this guy’s house is over the top. I’d buy a house very close to the senior apartment I live in so I’d stay connected to friends. $500k to a mil would do it, plus a limo and chauffeur because my eyesight is shot.

Building housing for homeless people in my city would be good. Need to get them off the streets for their sake and ours.

I’ve already traveled all over the world, so that traveling doesn’t interest me.

If I won $2 billion I'd give all but $15 million to charities devoted to serving the poor of Africa and Asia and to cancer and heart disease research.Half of what I kept would be given to various family members. The other half would buy a small condo/co-op near Central Park in Manhattan...a fairly nice condo in or near Sarasota...and a comfy place in (tax free) New Hampshire.I'd eat sirloin regularly and drive a late model German car.

Taxes too.

A week ago I took a day trip to Alpine,NJ...an obscenely wealthy suburb of NYC (8 miles from the George Washington Bridge).On the way home I passed through Palisades,NY,the town immediately north of Alpine. I happened upon a house for sale there listed for $2 million. I checked the website and found that the property taxes were $45,500 a year!

FED top income bracket is 37%. $997.6M x .37= $369.1M.

He cleared $628M

If I was going to spend $25 million on a house it would be in the middle of several hundred acres of land.

“What’s with all you people predicting horrible things for this lucky guy? “

That’s the history of what normally happens .
Hopefully this guy knows that history and beats the odds .
One could do a ton of good with that money.

[simpson96]

It’s a party-type house, not a “home”.

Whatever, it’s his money.

[Organic Panic]

2 years max.

What would I do you ask???

Put it in the bank and keep my mouth shut.

[slouper]

I’m sure he’ll be welcome in the neighborhood.

[Rdct29]

To each his own I guess. I would have bought or built a house in the country with 300 or 400 acres of land. The last thing I would want is thousands of people all around me. I would definitely leave this lousy state of CT. The guy won a lot of money. He would have to be a complete moron to run through that kind of money. Surprisingly there are a lot of lottery winners who went broke over the years.

walk it like you talk it.

[minnesota_bound]

It is too hot there. 110 degrees in the summer.
Plus he will be robbed.
