The cash option is $341 million. If the lump sum was invested in Treasury Bonds the payout (interest coupon) would create a permanent income of no less than $10 million a year. That's hefty.

Then hyperinflation comes along and you are left with nothing.
If you win the jackpot, spend a wad and put a sizable part of it in precious metals. They will ALWAYS retain enough value for you to remain very rich.

If I won that much I'd give 10 000$ to 63 500 people  Give 100 000$ to close friends.
And keep the rest which would be about 500 000$.

Bullshit. There's no way you would keep only $500k out of $640 million.

I think some fun could be had with the customary news conference in which you're getting the big jumbo check and asked how the money will change your life and such. Instead of beginning by thanking god, thank Satan for his infernal generosity and that it was a bargain for your soul. Then explian how you're planning on starting a charity to get bus tickets for underage pregnant girls in oppressive states to travel to New York where they can get their abortions without parental consent, and say you'll only do one in depth interview and only with Howard Effing Stern, flip them all the bird and walk off. Its not as though you'd have to worry about ruining your employability at that point so have some fun with it.

I would probably take the lump sum and live off the interest from savings bonds, then invest the interest.

I would pay some bills. Spend the majority on booze, drugs and women, then just blow the rest.

Mega Millions jackpot reaches $636 million, nears record high
Quote:
The odds of winning the jackpot used to be 1 in 176 million, but as of Oct. 22 the odds changed to 1 in 259 million as rules to the game changed, according to the Los Angeles Times. Players had been able to pick six numbers 1 through 56; now it's 1 through 75 and the Mega numbers have decreased from 46 to 15.

I would do so much good for the world with that money... It's going to be sad to see it go to some redneck who overdoses the day after.
