Isn't it interesting that when people win this kind of money, all the long lost relatives and old friends suddenly reappear? I personally would keep it top secret and all my charitable acts would be anonymous. I would also budget a night out on the town with Skygirl, Vagabond and Wild4theuniform. I would then check into a hospital for a few nights to recover.

I'd buy 50 million dollars worth of pudding.

Put it into savings. Get a little money flow with it. Then get me a nice Flacon 900 or Commander with a bed in it and have someone fly me around the world.

I'd buy myself a Citation and fly myself and my family around wherever we felt like going. Maybe buy a house or three at our favorite places. If and when it burned down to about 5 mill, I'd "retire" and live off the interest for the rest of my life. ($200,000 a year @ 4% interest).

Don't forget the taxes that you'd be paying on that, that will shrink that $200,000 a bit.

Gift a bunch. Pay off the mortgage. Get a little land with a huge shop and a few toys. Maybe even splurge on a Cessna 180 or the like. Save/invest the rest. Oh, and probably give 2 weeks notice.

If I found out while on a layover, the first call I'd make would be " Fred, come get the jet."
