I would give big chunks to the people I care about. Then I would buy a house in The Hamptons on Long Island and another one in The Berkshires of Massachusetts. I would possibly also buy a small villa in Italy. I would give my house in TV to the first person to come along that wants to live here full time and not rent it out.

I would buy up lots of Florida land and open an animal sanctuary.

If I won the Mega Million I'd buy The Great Fumar a St. Bernard that digs chicks (shown below), a years supply of BARF Dog Food and frozen steak bones, a dog training course (for Fumar) and a super duper pooper scooper with used pickup bags!

I don't think many people realize how much money this is. Right now the payoff is $636 million. Even if taxes cost you 50%, you still walk away with $318 million. At just 5% interest, that generates $16million a year, or $306 thousand a week, or $45 thousand a day. So, for those that say they would go out for a nice dinner, well the way to do it would be to board your private jet and fly to Paris for the evening and eat in the finest restaurant you could find, and invite 50 of your best friends to come along! Whomever wins should make sure they invite Gracie!

I would give a large amount to my son so he could retire instantly, and be available to hang-out with. Also several friends, who are family to me, so we could all hang out together.

I probably upgrade my house, and contract all the workers needed, for upkeep.

I probably wouldn't do much differently except maybe travel the world. I would love to go to Europe, Switzerland and the Far East.

After what's money, if you don't have it, to share with people you love? I wouldn't get crazy with extravagent meals, as one must done what's necessary, for their continued good health.

I would make sure, I remember the word, "NO", as many people would crawl out of the woodwork with their hands out. I think it's sad when non immediate family members say, "we hit the lottery".

Is everybody French?

I would offer to pay off whatever it is that Morse (or the CDD's) owe the government so that Village residents wouldn't have to pay it in assessments or whatever.
