Re: The Mega Millions Jackpot is now $476 MILLLLLLIONNNN DOLLARS

First, I'd quit my job

Then I'd hire a lawyer and a wealth managment advisor.

I would payoff all of our debts, buy a piece of land and build a house, buy new cars for DH and myself. I would then give each of our parents, DH's siblings and our extended family (we are close) about $500,000 (that's only 11 of the 500 million!!)

I would set up a college fund AND a savings fund for each of my girls.

I would donate a sizable amount to a few of my favorite charities...

The rest I would invest/save per the guidance of the financial advisor

I would hire the right people to help me figure out how I could give a huge chunk to St Jude's Children's Hospital to purchase something $$$ they need or build a wing or fund a specific research project.

I would rebuild our neighborhood community center & create a trust to preserve our community lake for generations.

Set up funds for my Mom, MIL and grandma so they don't have to worry about money ever again.

Hire life coaches/chefs/trainers for both of my adult chidren that would stay with them 24/7 until they are able to reach and sustain their personal goals

Pay entirely for two upcoming weddings, our niece and my cousin.

Buy a house in Florida-this one is for my DH
Rent our NYC apartment out & buy a penthouse, give our current house to someone in our family and build a new house further east.

Pay-off my godson's mother's student loans & help her set up her own practice.

I suppose DH would buy a new car or two.

travel, travel, travel
