Answer 1

I'm a random person.

Answer 2

Mega Millions is at $33 Million right now. The last Jackpot winner was two people splitting $163,000,000 back on 12/18. And if you won it takes a little while to get the cash you get $6 million a year meaning a monthly payment of $500,000.00. Making giving $300,000 to a homeless man mighty generous. Also your profile is ALL joke ?'s

IF you did win I'd suggest put a years worth of living expenses in a REALLY conservative risk free investment, such as a CD or a high yield savings account AND put the rest into an index fund (vanguard has a great one) have your money MAKE more money. Live well but don't spend like a fool. I'd start reading www.fool.com RIGHT NOW!!!

ALSO, the homeless man story (and your winning) is VERY hard to believe because the LARGEST bill that the united states issues is the $100 (larger bills were no longer issued after 1969 and by the 80's most large denomination bills were in the hands of collectors). So you would have had to given the man 3,000 $100 bills. You could say check but thats hard to believe too (most homeless do not have bank accounts, and LOTS of homeless don't have ID (thats why homeless will OFTEN offer to pay you to do things like buy beer, cigarette, or lotto tickets))

I'm surprised how many people are believing your story.

Answer 3

Hand out some of it to my family, and the rest would be for profitable inversions, starting a business in the real estate field or others, buy big houses, nice cars, you know, all those "little things", and my family would benefit from it. Oh wait, first i'd also take part of that money for bringing in my uncle and cousins to the US (they're teh only family I dont have near me), that's first (I dont how I'd do it, but there's almost nothing impossible for money), and then all the other plans. And then, if my business make profits and increase my capital, I'd donate some of the money to Latinoamerican and African organizations which dedicate to help neglected children. And maybe you'd be thinking "girl, you're so stingy, first you make more money and then is when you donate some of it??" Well, as someone else said above I wont get the 267 million clean, government will take away A LOT from me, and they will keep doing so for years and years until I fall in bankruptcy, that's the trick with big lotteries, so at least I would try to assure that I dont lose everything within a few years.

Answer 4

The first thing is that you shouldn't be buying at all, if there is any truth to this at all. You need to start by making a plan, then invest most of it. Since you only get half the money, and you have to pay out half of that in taxes, it isn't as much as it looks. Your first move should be to get yourself a financial advisor, or you will be like the celebrities you keep hearing about who lose everything in a couple of years. Pay off any debts, treat yourself to the one thing you have always wanted (a new car, a home for your mother, a trip around the world, start a business, and then figure out how you will spend the rest of your life and how this will help you do this. Then you can figure out how to give wisely to charity (the homeless guy probably just spent some of the money you gave him on drugs and then was stabbed for the rest of it by another street person) and whatever else you wanted to do.

Answer 5

Well first you should take care of your family, then give 10% to your church, help whomever you know that needs a helping hand no matter how big or how small, buy yourself a few nice things that make you feel good, invest the 1/2 of it, and then help me, the unknown get the IRS off my back, give me a job as your personal hairdresser and assistant, and then take a nice long vacation on a sunny beach where there is no noise.
Take along a few books and hobbies that you enjoy, and just breathe the fresh air and Thank the Lord for letting you have a nice life. Just remember, to give back, this is what really counts in life! You lucky duck!!!!!

Answer 6

Thanks for giving a hobo money for drugs.
I fail to see any truth in this at all; if you did have the money, you wouldn't go loudmouthing about it to everyone. Go googling and look up "identity theft". That should help.

But questions are for answering, and you should first try to buy a new house and sell your old one. Maybe while that is in process, you could buy a fancy suit, a nice hat, good shoes, and everything related. Get a better cut. Then you should get to work on your house. Once you are satisfied, you should invest. Don't forget that the needy become the greedy, and you shouldn't create money-dwelling homeless men...Those two don't mix well.

Answer 7

If you really did win that's awesome!! Could you give me 75,000 so I could start up a charity? I was thinking of starting one up that builds schools in Africa. Movie stars go there and build one or two but for their own personal interests. Like Oprah building a woman's only school. How can young boys benefit from that? My charity would continually make schools for everyone boys and girls. The reason why that country is so messed up is because they're not educated, and I'd like to change that. With your help.

Answer 8

I'd pay off all Debt, Donate 5-10%, put aside a few million for each of my children, buy a huge house, get a nice car, buy things for close friends/family, and invest some

Answer 9

well you can't take it to the grave with you!
i am 66 and on a pension but i am spending on good food and wine, brilliant holidays, and cosmetic surgery and i am having fun!
you need to remember why you bought the ticket in the first place, 'cos i guess you had some unfulfilled dreams then.

then put your anxieties away, and have fun. (you could be living on the interest anyway.)
if on the other hand - this is all a kyle s windup, then i suggest you get a real life and have some fun!!

Answer 10

Lucky you, and it's nice to know you're also giving money to those whom need some.
I'd say something nice, like a ring or neckless for someone you like. A nice thing to do is to donate money.
Maybe buy a nice hybrid car or a monkey!
Or save it for a kid you might have, I hear they cost alot

Well, it's your money so you can buy whatever the hell you want, like a 20" flat screen TV....or a spider monkey

Answer 11

Congratulations!!! If it were me, I would give alot of it to charity because it will save you money come tax season and do you really need that much money? Why not share your good fortune with the less fortunate. That and your karma would be set!!!
