I heard if you put 1 mil in a savings account, you get a much higher interest rate, like 10%.  So I would put it in the bank and live off the interest.

my home church.\nthe high school scholarship in memorial of my wife (a teacher).\nhospice care and/or cancer research.\nanimal shelter.\nmy college fraternity.\n\nGood, thought provoking question...  When thinking of lottery winnings, I usually think of paying off stuff and/or taking vacations.  Looking at it from this angle is more like 'paying-it-forward'...  Thanks.

Well i think i would take it and keep it for a while without spending anything from it. If there would be an announcement of anyone losing it i would turn it in to the police of course. \nIf not i will give it all away as donations to childrens homes, for organisations for people fatal diseases, for poor people and so on. Use it all to charity. I think that would be the most fair and moral thing to do because faith brought it in my away and gave me have the chance to do something good , a difference in the world as opposed to spend it all for my pleasues because considering i wouldnt have found it i would have still survived so the best thing is to use it for doing something great and more important then myself.\n\nPS: In my city like an year ago or so something similar happened, a person founded in a bus a suitcase full with alot of money. It turned out that it was of an old man who just sold his house and the whole money were the value of his house and all that the person had. It had a happy ending cuz it was returned to him.

Lump Sum as you have no idea what the tax laws could change to in the future........  First thing i would do is to set up a 1 million dollar trrust to send ANY child related to me now or in the future to go to collegte only restriction is that they would have to finish thier degree, then they would be debt free failure to do so would require them to pay it back.  second thing give 1.5 million to my brothers and sisters and cousins... here you go pay off your bills buy a new car, house what ever but,,,, this is all there is you can not have anymore .

It depends... Would you get the $1M before you went to hell, during your stay or when you return back to earth?  If it was before,then yes, you could invest your million in shares or in a term investment account, and then give the diet coke to a street person who would appreciate it farmore than I ever would. If it was during your stay, then no, as the stores in hell would be terribly overpriced and the clothes in your size would be sold out.  Plus, the diet coke would be warm and only useful as spermicide.  If it was after, it would be a maybe... It would be far better than going on Big Brother!!

Man, that's a really tough question.\n\nMy first idea was to rob the bullion depository at Fort Knox, but it turns out that they don't hold quite a billion dollars worth of gold.  I suppose if you ripped off the depository at the Denver Mint on the same day you'd make it.  The first link below tell you how much gold Fort Knox has.  \n\nMy second idea was that if you bought a CD worth NEARLY a billion dollars from an outfit that compounds interest daily, then you could go over a billion in one day.  For example, if you bought a Capfed one year CD worth $999,892,615, the interest accumulated over one day would bring you up to a billion.  I've included a link for Capfed and another for an interest calculator below.\n\nAlso, I note that the US Government awards 235 billion dollars worth of contracts a year.  So I've included a link to an article about how to win government contracts.  Of course you'd have to win a pretty big contract, but it shouldn't be that hard.  Do you like to pick up trash, for instance?  Ashbrit won a 1.1 billion dollar contract for doing just that in areas hit by Hurricane Katrina.  So I've included a link to an article about that as well. Of course, you'd have to pick up all of that trash in an awful hurry.\n\nOr what about this?  You could become a trillionaire and then make some really bad investments and lots of contributions to charity and drop down to a billionaire in a day.\n\nIt sure seems like there are plenty of ways to become a billionaire in one day.  I'm sure if you apply some creative thinking to the problem you will come up with many ways that I haven't even thought of yet.

i'd buy a few small houses for my family, hybrid cars for my family as well since most of us dont have cars that freak'n run right half the time, if i won a ton i'd give away ton of it to help out other people... particularly women in africa and other desprite regions of the world.  i'd go to school pretty much the rest of my life and travel on my time off and maybe even do a med school thing and join doctors with out boarders since i'd have the time and money to do med school with out the pressure of having time to affoard to live the rest of my life.
