If you won would you hire a hair keeper?what would you do?i know i would take care of my mom and brothers and really try to keep a normal life with a lot of really nice amenities.
Good question! Hmmm I would probably continuously travel the world until I die. Hey if I'm going to die, I might as well go out with a bang. LOL
Seriously, I guess because I personally believe that we are meant to be in this world to learn and experience the multi facets within the complexities of what we would call "life." I always tell myself that I would rather be wealthy with knowledge rather than material wealth. Knowledge to me is life's treasure, the real money that no one can ever take away from me. But that is just me, your typical geeky nerd who wants to grow long hair.

Hop on a flight to upstate NY
gee = I think I would retire & invest wisely ...
I'd be amazed, because I'd know I didn't buy a ticket!
That question is worth as much as the lottery itself. Me, retire me and my whole family. Set my little nephew up for life, invest, build a house in the country, perhaps a new truck, then just kick it. Not sure if I'd hire a hairkeeper to be honest.
Retire & travel, travel, travel, travel, travel.
I wouldn't buy a house since I wouldn't need to invest in real estate anyway, so I'd just rent a fancy penthouse overlooking Central Park in NYC or something.
I'd also eventually try to set up a foundation to use my money & interest for a good cause after my death, like Alfred Nobel did. Maybe an annual ecology prize or something. Try to make this world a little bit better.
I'd finally be able to afford a haircut!
Just kidding! :)

First and foremost move as far away from Los Angeles as possible. Then buy a 1978 and 2010 Corvette and a house (custom built on a large lot with no neighbors for miles in any direction). Beyond that just keep on going as I have been.

Hmmmmmm, what's wrong with LA? Well can't beat the weather but is it
possibly the occupants?? I do agree on acquiring some nice rides of your
choice though:) With that kind of winfall I'd be in the front row at Barrett Jackson
picking out that next set of cool wheels:) Cheers

Yup it's the occupants, the earthquakes, and the insane government of CA. Eliminate those things and I'd stay here forever.
I can tell you right off the bat I won't be winning the lottery
because I won't be playing. I've heard too many horror stories
about relaitves who come out of the woodwork, friends you
never knew you had, the bad luck that comes with it, etc.
Read up on some of the winners and how many of them say they
wish they had never won.
And that is not to mention the odds of winning are on the
par with getting struck by lightning twice.
So I won't even buy a ticket. Even thought it would buy
lots of shampoo, conditioner, etc.
I especially would not hire a hair keeper since that
hair keeper whould absolutely insist on buzzing off all my
hair. So the hair keeper can find work elsewhere.
The trick is to not win a big jackpot because you know you'll be all over the news.Now that this big jackpot has been won I believe the next prize is only 12 million. LOL. I know,it's just chump change now.Should you win the 12 million no one is going to care and hopefully you stay under the radar.Certainly the media isn't going to go "Ga ga" over that jackpot so if your lucky you won't experience the misfortunes you just mentioned.Cheers and good luck on the next cheapo lottery.

Actually, I know a guy who won 20 million in an online lottery. But now he's kind of hard to locate. In hiding would probably be a fair comment on his status.
He's a plumber by trade. I wonder if he would do some plumbing work on my house? I'm not looking for his money, but that kind of work can be expensive, and since he's already a millionaire ...
