I realize that, what I thought was stupid was the line where they said "average family making 50k" and all that, it didn't fit.

Had they just said "typical middle-to-upper-middle class household" like their readers, then, yes, it would have been fine because that can be interpereted as needed.

If I won the lottery, I'd buy a nice, but not "rock star nice" house, some cool electronics and gizmos, and invest the rest and live a basically normal life from then on out.

Me? I'd just buy an assuming looking house and invest the rest in stocks, bonds and dividends to secure an ongoing income. And then enjoy life the way its meant to be enjoyed. True wealth doesn't mean you have to have a lavish house or a hot car. A truly wealthy life doesn't mean having the Clintons or a Hollywood celebrity as your next door neighbor.
