The only walls I build are the ones around my fragile heart.
Oh, that and the giant mega-fence around my Village.

You need to make sure people can get out in case of an emergency.
I suppose it could have auto sliding doors.
Slow day at work.

Lawyer up, hire an accountant, change my identity and disappear from my current life. Start a fund for charity and a few companies to operate all the possible businesses that I decide to invest in.
Every once in a while I would send invitations to people I care about to meet (all expenses paid, of course) in some paradise and have a few days together before I disappear again.
I would seek to live away from civilization and would invest through proxies. I'd travel some times but would avoid to stay too long at some place. Don't want to attract any attention.

Basically the same, with the exception I'd keep my identity and just disappear. Travel tons but have a home on some remote mountain paradise somewhere. Hire a staff to do all my erans that I do not enjoy.

Good luck with that, the properties in NYC alone are worth more than what you'd get after taxes.
But I'd love to watch someone throw away 600-750 million dollars on a temper tantrum.

Being salty about it won’t change a thing.

Read somewhere, call up all the people you know and ask them to borrow 500$ due to an emergency. After they find out you won the lotto, all the people who said no would probably think twice about asking you for money.

If I won that amount I’ll pay my families mortgages give them some nice amounts of money and help my nieces nephews out and my closets friends I’ll help them the same way to.
Buy my kids houses and give them money too
I’ll never let anyone know how much I won and try and invest it in things to
Also give a few people a million.
I would just keep 50 million and the rest I’ll use it to help people etc give to charities. I think a billion would be way to much lol

This is genius.
I'd bet they'd wait awhile, then call you back.
"actually I have that $500 you needed"

The loto in Canada has been at 60 mill for like a month, and there are an additional 53 x 1 million prizes. Thats a total of 113 million. I know its small change compared to 1.6 billion, but in Canada we have a cap of 60 million for our Loto. So this is the equivalent of 1.6 billion for the US.
Also we keep everything up here, no taxes on Loto winnings.
Everyone wish me luck, 50$ to everyone who likes my post if I win LOL.

Right, or he'd have surprised relatives knocking on his door asking for money, or friends coming up to him kissing his ass even though they've never talked since, like, forever. Worst, he'd be a walking target to thieves. I'd keep a low profile if I were the winner. Disable those social media profiles or something. No need to shout, "I'm the lottery winner, come take my money!"

If I won a billion dollars I would spend years meticulously contemplating how I will maximize my income and revenue streams using that amount. Then when I have ~50-100 billion I would start a space program and rule over my own colonies in the inner asteroid belt. We would ensure independence with a nuclear arsenal and economic supremacy by shipping easy to obtain asteroid belt precious metals to near earth orbit for use in the construction of giant space tugs and habitats for earthlings. Then, with a monopoly on space construction and transport, we would colonize and lay claim to Mars and eventually the entire system. It would end with the conquest of Earth.

I would not want to be known. I would fear for my family etc incase anyone tries shit.
Because the Lottery likes to use these people and their stories as advertising for the lottery. Like the lottery really needs advertisement, but that's their reasoning anyways.

thats pretty much what I thought. As if they need to advertise that you could win a billion dollars.
Lottery is a strange thing, and perhaps resources should be on stocks and investments than this shitty game.

MONSTER RANCHER BATTLE CARDS: EPISODE III!
(Or, at least, a Monster Rancher Battle Cards Episode II HD remaster).

Exactly! They could be kidnapped for ransom or something. There are lots of crazy people around today who will do whatever it takes for money. Better hide your family somewhere far or install high quality locks and security on your house because the neighbors are coming.

God bless that man. Living the American dream. If I won that money, I would spend it putting shit over all my shit employers too. And the fucked up slumlord landlords.
