Mega Millions is at $600 million ($442.4 million cash payout) and Powerball is at $550 million ($411.4 million cash payout).
Obligatory thread where we all fantasize about what we’d do with the money.
I’d quit my job, move out of state (at least temporarily) to hide from the vultures, and get a decent house for my family. I’d also help a few select people in the family on the down low to avoid people talking crap.

I don't even understand how it works. I only play scratch tickets.

Yeah, normally I don't play lotto but when it gets to these ridiculous payouts, then I will buy tickets.
As for what I'd do with the money, resign my job, retire my wife from her job, and ensure my daughter has college completely paid for - and with these jackpots, that wouldn't be a problem.
I'd also ensure my dad is taken care of, as well as my sister in law and my 4 nieces.
It sounds cliche but I'd probably travel with my family once the pandemic calms down, and then give a large part of it away to help struggling organizations now, like food banks and dog rescues, then take steps to set up trusts after I'm gone.
I would like to own property near or on a mountain with some rivers nearby.

Not really. I'll throw a few bucks at it when it gets high but it's no different if it's a 1$ prize or a 100,000,000$ prize. I ain't winning it.
But, if I do, I'm making my own forum with hookers and blackjack!...you know what forget the forum!

I’d probably start a couple of charities and then just sit home and get drunk a lot

Ted Danson's skeleton. I have an idea for a sitcom. Like you could afford Ted Danson. He’s somebody. You’re nobody.

Not really had the interest lately.
IF I were to jump back in and IF I were to actually win, savings. And moving to a better place.

I'd build a new local school. The existing ones in the area are embarrassingly bad.

I'm into geeky stuff (autographs, toys, poster) so my house would be the same only much bigger
would probably go to loads of comic cons (when the world is back to normal) and attended Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania
not sure I would ever splash money on one ridiculously expensive thing (other than a house of course)

My father always told me that gambling is a waste of money unless you are absolutely 100% certain you are going to win. And even then bet a small enough amount that if you do in fact lose, it doesn't put you in debt.
I personally think buying lotto tickets is like throwing money in the trash.

I’ll randomly drop like 10 bucks into the Michigan lottery app, at most every 6 months. They have a free monthly drawing where you spin a wheel to get entries. Sometimes you get free cash dropped into your lottery app balance. I love the idea of winning the lottery on a free ticket. Never buy scratch offs for myself. We are prolific buyers of tickets for birthday and Christmas gifts in my family. Like the whole family silent except for the scratching of tickets.

Since no one won Tuesday’s drawing tonight’s Mega Millions jackpot is $750 million (Cash option $550.6 million).
Saturday’s Powerball jackpot also increases due to no winner on Wednesday. The jackpot currently stands at $640 million ($478.7 million cash option).
