Id pay off any news company to keep it under wraps then randomly pay off all my family and close friends debt then gradually acquire all the things we want : house with 200 acres far away from neighbors with a few guest houses for our friends, all the Detroit’s made, a Pete and a KW both of which with buzzin duzins, finish my dream car, get something to one up bakerian 🙂 and build a dream garage for my babe with enough room for my carz!!! Id also finally get a puppy and tons of farm animals!!!

In NY it’s a public record (for Mega at least, I can only assume its the same for power ball)

So you better budget in hiring personal protection as you become an extremely high kidnapping risk as a fresh multi millionaire and there are plenty of people that hunt them for blackmail profit. Not to mention expecting everybody and their mother will be begging for a piece and you will never be able to trust anybody in the future as you won’t be sure if they are sincere or not.
