If I won $2B? Lets say you keep $1B after taxes. That generates $40 Million in cash per year easy without touching the principal. Over $3M a month after taxes. The money to pay for that $500K car would be generated in less than a week. Every week. I might splurge.

Maybe he's not really all that heartbroken. If he found that he didn't care much for the lifestyle there and the state itself, what neighbor could he have shared that with?

With $3 milli9n a month, it would be a full time job figuring out how to spend it. I’d probably give it all to climate change efforts.... /s

The $2 biili9n is the sum of future payments. He took the lump sum option which was about $998 million before taxes.

If I won $2 billion,first I'd give at least half to charities (African hunger,cancer research,etc). Then I'd give $10 million (or more) to family.

Then I'd buy a $500,000 condo in southern New Hampshire (within driving distance of Boston hospitals and Logan Airport). That would be my legal residence. I'd buy a small $500,000 condo/coop on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.I'd buy a $500,000 condo in the Sarasota/Bradenton area of Florida. I'd buy a Porsche Panamera (about $125,000).I'd spend a few thousand on clothes. And I'd put the rest in safe investments (maybe even Treasury bonds).

And when I died I'd leave a good chunk of $$$ to my loved ones.
