For whatever reason this is a topic I like to spend time thinking about.....
I know I would give the vast majority of the money away, and the thought of doing so is what makes it enjoyable to me.
I guess the thought of doing something to make the world a better place is what drives these thoughts...

But, I do know what I would do with the money I kept for myself.

I would build a wooded off road "track", and hold weekly races only open to Subarus.
Drinking during and before the race would be optional, but bonus point would be awarded to the participant who finished with the highest BAC. All the necessary legal requirements would be met, and of course I would have the necessary medical and recovery staff present.

While the race was going on, I would have this guy playing in the "infield" of the course



So, what would you do if you hit it big????
 
Line up an attorney, a CPA, investment banker, set up a trust and let the trust claim the winnings.

Pay off moms house, take a lump sum to play with, invest the rest, live off interest and investments.

Probably build a moto compound. Host a few races a year for local series’, only open for one open ride weekend per month. Otherwise it would be open for private training.
 
Definitely a lawyer and a damn good CPA.

I use this example a lot...there was a guy in Florida a jandful of years ago that cashed out and walked away with 95 million. If I knew 45 people that I liked well enough to give a million bucks to, I'd still have 50 million dollars.

I'd make some very generous donations to the Shriner's, St. Judes, Carolina Coonhound Rescue, and other such things. I'd probably buy every piece of property near me that I could. I'd ask my grandma if she wanted a new house, probably see if my mom and sister wanted houses too. Whatever I would do, I'd just want to make sure the people getting things could receive them without major tax implications.

Oh...and I'd keep showing up to work, just to piss some people off :D Sooo many people say I couldn't stop working at 27 with just a million, but I do beg to differ!
 
After helping out my family, I’d buy a ton of land for trail riding and what not. Build a nice shop and higher someone like @mcutler to teach me how to actually build some cool shit. And there would be an 80’s Ferrari in there also.
 
Quit my job.

It will never happen for me though, because you have to play in order to win.

I'd invest, quit my job, start a small company doing something fun but unimportant (race parts maybe?), buy some land somewhere rural, and hire a architect to go wild designing a small but very high-end modern house.

And buy a bass boat, and build hot rods to keep me occupied. Maybe buy a few cool cars, for driving but not collecting.

And travel. Maybe a vacation house gets built on the Shetland Islands or something. Because ponies.

I think I'm bad at this, my lottery plan is far more practical than it should be.
 
What ever I wanted to do, at the moment I want to do it..
 
After investing enough to be able to live off the interest, I would buy a couple hundred acres and fence it all in. Build 3 houses on different parts of the land. One for me, one for my parents, and one for my in laws. I would have one nice weapons range and a real nice shop to do whatever I want. Come up with some kind of business working out of my shop so I can “hire” my dad and father in law. I think being able to hang out with them every day would be like winning the lottery by itself.
 
Buy a ton of land all over the nation.

Buy a bunch of land near/in/next to Uwharrie so we could actually make some awesome trails there. Land in Farmer/Denton area too. There is land in that area that has the potential to have trails as good as Harlan.

I’d work with Scott Fields and the Outpost to put in an off road car wash around there, build a restroom and shower house at the UORTC. This would all be donated of course.

I’d also build a lodge that would double as an off road lodge for the mall crawling JK crowd, and a hunting lodge in the winter. Don’t think it would be super profitable but it would be very cool. I’ll run the off road side, partner up with a big time hunter for that part. Then the Mall Crawler crowd could pay a ridiculous membership fee to be part of an “off road lodge” and have a place to stay when they go “wheeling” and wash off their Jeep and armorall everything again before they leave. There would also be a shop with all kinds of tools, lifts and everything for repairs and such.

And of course whatever hunters do at outlandish lodges.

I’d donate tons of money as well as some good investments. My wife is a CPA so she’d be all over that.
 
I would buy everything in the for sale section of Charlotte Craigslist and repost all of it on NC4x4 for double.
 
I would buy callalantee and make it the badass park it so badly needs to be!!! Then invest in American steel or whatever the best financial advisor tell me to, pay off the house and buy some acres up the mtn behind me to build my Ma a new house! Damn I can go on for days! Would still get up and work everyday tho bc that keeps me sane... lol wishful thinking sucks! Lol

It depends on how much. A few mill, I would invest and live off interest and get debt free. A big payout, I would find some land and start an off road park. Might even start a shop too with someone to help bring all the ideas in my head to reality. Mainly afford to have fun offroading and tinkering.
 
I’ve never bought a lottery ticket but....

First off I’d make sure no one knew except my wife, so she could start planning our escape. Then I’d go into work and GET FIRED. I mean earn it! Tell every person I have issues with exactly how I feel about them. Especially the worthless, lazy ass pieces of shit, top to bottom.

Then we would travel, as if it were our job. Figure the rest out on the road.
 
Immediately exchange it for the purest gold available; hide some, the rest would be used for something sinister. I would bury the gold bars under 10+' feet of natural soil, dispersed across the state in inconspicuous places. Once a year I would call a friend or family member to give them encrypted location coordinates to one bar at a time. If they find it, good, if not, too bad. There will never be a hand drawn map or GPS pins left behind. It'll all be in my head. That would be a great motive for keeping me alive, but of course there's always the likely hood of a hostage situation. Phesick walks up and jogs my memory, then later I'm found lifeless with a wooden wheelbarrow on top of me, but you'll have that .
The rest of the gold I would use as barter for the extra terrestrial beings to use on their space craft in exchange for advanced knowledge of anything I wish. In there lies yet more motive to keep me alive, doesn't it?

In all seriousness, I'd probably buy large tracts of heavily wooded, rocky land all over the southeast and host week-long UA style wheeling trips several times a year for me and anyone who cares to ride with.
