I definitely wouldn't blow the money. I would take Goob's advice and give some to a good charity, then I would invest some and sit on the rest and live comfortably. Maybe look into starting up my own plant nursery. That sounds like a nice life to me. It may sound boring to you, but I would be doing some serious travelling and festival hopping, too.

If we're talking like, massive amounts, I'd probably put myself through Berklee, buy a nice house in the hills a ways away from civilization (but not so far that I feel completely isolated, heh) with a studio in the basement... few other things... new car, houses for my parents and sister.
I would certainly be more generous with my money in my daily life, which would result in some charity donations as well.
Beyond that, I would invest some and live off the remainder while furthering my musical development.

I would use it to take a trip to Mexico, and buy a bunch of weed. As for the rest, that's just not my concern right now.

Berklee is different from Berkley if that's what you're thinking of. Berklee is a music school in Massachussetts - where Dream Theater and other pretentious rock bands had their training.

I'd buy a house, a car (nothing real crazy -- maybe a nice acura or a benz) and I'd let my friends be big time moochers at my new mansion. That is all.

Yeah I wouldn't see it lasting that long either..
of course its all hypothetical, lots of lotto winners end up extremely unhappy, supposedly. You'll hear from family members and friends that you didn't know you had.
Charity might be the safest route..

I'd buy a farm, like a bio-dome type thing. Enough equipment and supplies that we could be as self-sufficient as possible. Produce our own power, grow our own food, etc, etc. Then I'd invite all my friends and loving people. The rest of the money, I'd probably give to people who needed it, and people who have helped me out in the past.
Then I would spend my days growing food, ganja, and mushrooms, and playing music. Not a bad existance at all.

I'd buy a river system. I'd buy all the tributaries, surrounding land, and the entire watershed. I'd pay everybody fairly to move the family to Acapulco. Make the water run clean again, so clean you can see the bottom. Then druids with longbows can guard the holy holy sanctuary to Gaia and kick ass on anybody who comes in to take a piss and throw beer cans. We are on cactus today, everybody. Maybe we will feel differently tomorrow.

Hmm..
I'd buy myself a car, and it would be a long process of choosing it. It would be used, but it would run well, and it would be very aesthetically pleasing. Then I would rig said car with bitching sound system and buy myself a year long National Parks Pass. Then I would put a ton of the money in the bank, and invest another portion of it.
I would then spend a year driving around this country and parts of Canada.

I'd buy a golden ice cream truck that only plays bohemian rhapsody. Then I would drive cross country giving away golden ice cream to small children and the poor. Then I'd start a funk band and do a world tour with them getting around via golden ice cream van, which doubles as a golden ice cream boat. I'd buy a small island in the cayman where I could eat mushrooms with my friends all the time.

1. A 2006 Acura NSX with forged pistons/rods/crank, a Paxton supercharger, and some wider V-Tec cams witha shorter throw. zoom zoom. 2. Several thousand acres of ranchland 30 min outside of a major western city... Denver, Phoenix, Santa Fe.... something nice and remote... but not so far that going to the grocery store is a major chore. 3. A nice 3000 sq ft or so Earthship style dug in house with as much off the grid shit as I could slap into it. 4. A huge fenced in area (a couple acres) that my doggies can run around in. 5. A duckbilled platypus pond, near the house, and separate from the dogs so we can watch it do weird platypus stuff... maybe even teach it to be an attack platypus if anyone tries any shinanigans around the house. 6. Invest the rest and live off the interest while travelling as much as I can.

An island for a world class disc golf resort with at least 5 courses. A dome house for me on the island, seperate of the resort. Then I'd buy land for courses all over the country and donate money/supplies to any city in the nation that wanted to install a disc golf course in their community.

I would buy some five-star rental property, depending on the amount, I would purchase either apartment complexes and/or commercial property in one of the top five cities of USA. In effect, I would be using my money to plant another money-growing seed. Then I would donate to charities such as the Humane Society and Wildlife foundations [since Goobs got the children's department down]. And I'd spend copious amounts of time back in Holland, and short of purchasing the site/company, I would donate to the Shroomery to make it faster, stronger and even better.

Depends on how much $$$... I won.
Over 1 million dollars and I would start giving it away.
I'd love to buy a really nice fishing boat and take sick children fishing... for like the Make a Wish foundation...etc.
I'd give the majority of the $$$ to feed hungry children in the United States... I hate all the charities that skim off the money that they take in. I also hate alot of the charities that take the money they raise outside of the United States. We should feed our own people before helping the rest of the World.

if it was alot of money i'd buy a nice house in the city, a nice house on the beach, and a nice house in the mountains. Then i'd get a nice car, a top of the line PC, a bunch of new musical equipment that i've always wanted, and probably alot of little this and thats as well. That'd maybe be three to 5 percent of the winnings, probably less.
I'd also use some to start my own buisness doing something i've been wanting to do for awhile, and i'd invest alot of course in mutual funds and real estate. The investments would be the bulk of this 50%. And i'd definetly hook up my parents and family, as well as some of my friends. I'd buy my parents a great house and send the whole family on a kick ass trip around the world or something.
Then i'd give half to charity. Got to share the wealth. To bad i never play the lottery.

Hypothetically lets say I win a modest $10m after tax(no trillion dollar power ball)
Charities: At least $2 m
Parents: $2 m so they can lead the retirement they deserve
Sister: $1 m perpetuity trustfund to kick in one year after she finishes university. Fund would be structured in a way in which no free loading asshole could take advantage of her. The $1m would be totally redeemable upon university graduation of her children or bearing no children at the age of 55.
To my friends: 10 of my closest friends would each recieve $100,000 to be redeemed on the completion of post secondary education.
Legal fees: $ X to get my shit set up right
Me: $4-X m , Spend the better part of my life travelling the world and going back to school studying everything from physics to philosophy.

I would buy a very nice house (read: beautiful mansion) on the largest plot of land that I could purchase. I would buy a few nice cars, to include a hummer limousine, a 1987 Jeep Wrangler that would go through anything, a Mercedes Benz sports car, a H2000 and a few four wheelers and golf carts. Then I'd make some great off-road tracks around my massive property to take 4-wheelers on and have a good time. I'd buy enough stock that I Could be totally self sufficient (use their manure to till into the earth for my crops, use the extra crops to feed the animals, etc) and I'd chill at my house growin mad weed and shrooms and opium.

I would set up a non-profit organization, write several books, and generally devote my resources towards making the world a better place.

Yea, one idealistic sociology student with a few million dollars would do a great job at fixing the world. I'd suggest your first thing be "move out of mommys basement". Just IMO, dawg.

Also another house in my country...dominican republic.
Up until recently, I had no idea what a surprisingly nice vacationesque place the Dominican Republic is. And evidently my geography was far off - I was thinking the DR was somewhere around Columbia/Peru/Venezuela; rather than a Caribbean island.
