just heard on the news it's up to 540 million. biggest jackpot ever. it comes to about 10-12 million a year for 30 years after taxes. when i win it, i'll have a cake made, in the shape of a toilet. white chocolate seat and lid, lower part a nice 4 layer white cake shaped like the bowl. in the middle of where the bowl is would be a deuce shaped piece of dark mousse, with I QUIT spelled out in peanuts on it. i'd take it to work and put it on my manager's desk.

It's estimated over $500 million.
Soooo, $290 million in lump sum.
Take $200 million off the top, and if you make the right investments, you should be able live off the $12 million interest per year, reinvesting that $12 million to make your money grow, and paying property taxes, etc.
With the remaining $90 million, I'd allocate $20 million to friends and family. ($1 million a piece, tops, f those bitches)
$10 million for the house I have my eye on.
$20 million for various other houses: Flagstaff, Alaska, Hawaii, London.
$30 million allocated in trusts for my boys, nephews, etc.
$5 million for the underground "End of Days" bunker in my Flagstaff home, that includes weapons, gasoline, bunker, food, water, geo-thermal heating/cooling, solar energy, backup-generators, etc.
That will leave $25 million for various employees (cooks, maids, golf instructors, personal trainers, hookers), trips to England, Scotland, Greece, Cyprus, assorted toys, misc golf trips all over the world....etc.
I haven't really thought about it much.
