If I ever won the Powerball...

Recently, Mavis Wanczyk, a Massachusetts hospital worker won $758.7 million at the Powerball.The lucky lady took a lump-sum payment of $480 million, leaving her $336 million after taxes.
Now, what would I do if I were in her situation (an unlikely scenario, as I have never bought any such ticket)? I'd keep my home, my car and my wife.

I might get a carbon-frame mountain-bike, would never fly economy again and that's about it. I'd repay my kids mortgages and I'd give a big chunk of that money to a good charity focused on education.

So don't even think of asking me for anything because I'd tell you: “Get yourself a Powerball ticket!”
