    not tell a damn soul! Just randomly pay off my mother's debts, make an account for my siblings and mom with 400k each and not tell them. save and invest all but 200k wait til i get my townhouse pay that off and still go to work like nothing happened. And buy a type-r modded the way i want and fix up the crx to give to my lil brother . just keep the r garage kept. I'd get an old 325i and fix it up and just say i got it at an auction and get my girl the a damn eclipse like she wanted a few months later so she wouldn't know.

    Then (secretly) buy land to build a damn road course/dragstrip and make that for meets so people can stop bitchin about BP/ the v and just chill the **** out.

    I figure people would go all vulture on me with that kinda cash so do everything secretly. It makes it funnier when nobody notices that you did a lot fo them and they knew jack ****. Besides blowing it all makes you go poor and then you're back where you started. So i'd rather be rich and stay rich without people knowing. Besides its more fun knowing you don't have to worry about **** for the rest of your life financially ,so technically i would never be upset for **** unless someone died or something along those lines.

    1. Buy a new Fit or Yaris.
    2. Buy a nice NEW road bike
    3. Invest the rest of the money and keep enough money in my checking account to pay for the last two years of school I have left. When I'm done with school, I would buy a house on the beach in Jacksonville or St. Augustine if I don't leave the country.

    Pay tuition, tides, buy three sick vehicles, a couple mil lake house with a bunch of toys. I'd also set my rents up for the rest of there life along with close relatives. Then save, save, save for the downward spiral of the market while attending college. Oh and of course Disney Land. Who wouldn't do that lol.

    2nd. Buy some land, enough to have a few horses on and build me a reasonable house with a 4 car garage and big ass pool!!

    3rd. Buy me a R35 and mod the hell outta it...or atleast try to..probably not much you can do for them right now.

    4th. Buy a new GSXR600 and mod it, including crome everything and paint it a purple scheme!!!

    5th. Invest the rest for when I get older! And just finish school and make something out of myself!

    I think some of my bigger things would be, NOT TELL ANYONE, Make sure my family is set with whatever they want, Invest IRA stuff, and then live the life.

    However. Heres where the money gets good. Hire a film crew and start having wayyyy too much fun. As in pull some Dado ****... do crazy **** 24-7 and film that ****! MTV would love that mess! lol

    shiit. if we talking over 100 mil....

    i wouldn't even tell my parents i wont the lottery. i would however buy their business/building from them, but not even let it be known that i did. then randomly a brand new truck (paid for) and a brand new caddilac cts (paid for) would appear in the driveway for my parents. suddenly a mil would appear in their bank accounts. they would probably move back to albany like they always wanted to do.

    i would then put a huge trust fund on for my niece. i love that girl so much even though she's only been alive for less than two months. i would do anything for her.

    i would then proceed to give my sister a large sum of money and tell her to get the f*ck away from me forever.

    um, then being the toyota supra lover that i am, i would proceed to buy a last gen supra if it's built than it's built, if not, i would get a credible person to build it for me buy an old 79 chevelle and restore it. buy an Aston Martin vanquish & Lexus Is-F. and the car that i would drive around regularly a brand new Nissan Altima Coupe or Honda Accord Coupe. b*tches look fire as f*ck. haha. um, i would probably build an ek hatch while i'm at it.

    then i would buy me a house. i haven't a clue where at yet. somewhere. and just invest and watch interest build up. haha. idk it's all stupid, but it's something nice for my parents, and of course, the car collection i want.

    i think i would also do a superbowl commercial of people who could kiss my ass. there are a few in particular that i might pay to get his or/and her ass stomped. haha. and i definitely would tell a couple of people of what i actually think of them. then move.. haha.

    EDIT
    oh yeah, for sh*ts and giggles, i would supercharge a 3-cyl Geo Metro and mod the f*ck out of it. ULTIMATE SLEEPER FTMFW... haha. yeah.. that's it

    Ensure the money was in a diversified mix of high-yield interest savings accounts, CD's, index funds and probably take some money for commodity market investment and try and hop on the next oil/gold boom.

    Once I've got my finances set, I take no more than $500,000 and start by paying off my mom's house. Even if she wants to sell it at least she takes every dime the house is worth with her then, full equity invested. That'd probably end up around $150,000 out of it. I'd pay off the A4, which is 10,000 of it, take $200,000 and find a nice house preferably somewhere near Kennesaw and move myself, the fiance and my roommate (Assuming he wants to come, he's like a brother to me) into the house. That leaves about $100,000 to repay all the people who have shown me love and kindness in my life by returning the favor and making their lives easier as much as I can manage with that.

    Every month I'd take what I earned from interest from all the finances and take a quarter of it and give back the same way as with that last $100,000. The next quarter I would take and do stuff like home improvements, do stuff with the A4 and the Z and the Girl's accent, pay for me and her to (obviously) tie the knot and get some nice medical coverage and so on to cover for everything. Right now with fifty million dollars at roughly 1.75% apy...you'd get about $72,500 a month. Not a bad income really, lol. The last half I would reinvest across, so that I'd continue to grow my per-month income, even if it's a pretty slow investment.

    Of course, $50,000,000 is a pretty damn big rainy day fund, but I'd mostly just be keeping it invested because of the per-month income it'd give me. Making that kind of money a month would be...incredible. That's honestly more than alot of people make in a whole year. I'd be able to live pretty well, probably be able to buy a few other houses, probably just buy a big garage and start collecting cars like Jay Leno.

    LOL @ all of the people who say "invest" who aren't even investing w/ what they currently have. Get the fack outta here w/ that non-sense. If you are miserable w/ $50, you will be miserable w/ $5 million. If you have poor spending habits w/ $200, then the world will soon see how DUMB you are w/ $200 million.

    Furthermore - I think if you won the lottery today, none of you would do NONE of the things you said --- well, at least not tomorrow - LOL. 2morrow your as$ would still be filling out a days worth of forms - you might actually see some cash in about a week. Good luck showing up to the BMW dealership "the next day" still broke as h3ll. LOL

    I would literally tell NO ONE, and would decline the optional press release. I would anonymously purchase homes for a few family members, as well as anonymously pay their bills - and pretend that MY new house and bill payoffs came from that same "magical" source and dance and act surprised right along w/ my family.

    Build a few cars, a nice car collection (prob less than 20 cars) - start a business or 2 and have s3x w/ girls from IA --- and their moms.

    Werd, I wouldnt tell anybody. Invest some, start a business. Do what it takes to make the money double and not be broke in ten years. I would buy a house, non of that 20 bedroom bull****, but a nice size house with a big garage to put my jdm whips in. The point is to make the money last, thats the game im playing. Not who can buy the most **** in one year.

    oh yea and if im rich im buying me a pound of purp! ha ha ha ha Im rich bitchhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    i would sell my house (there about to widen this road in the next 5 years), buy me and my wife brand new cars, buy a brand new house on at least 20 acres, build me a shop if it did not already have one, pay off everything, pay off anything my parents still had left, then i would invest the rest and just use the interest off the money every month for stuff, with enough money you can live off just the interest alone...but remember FDIC only insures up to 100k in a bank...would not want to get screwed!

    Just FYI, you can only invest so much per year in an IRA. It's under 10k.
