how would you deal with family/friends that you know will come knocking? I think that I would give my closest friends/family $10,000 for Christmas every year. For me I have about 10 so thats $100k a year, no biggie if I won over $100 million. I think that would be more than generous. How about you guys?

I'd move to the Caribbean...actually I've been to quite a few island paradises that'll do.

I'd get a satellite phone and disappear until the dust settled, then I had alway thought to give half of it away starting with family and close friends ($20k) and have them give some to people they know need help (10k) and have those people give to someone needy (5k) keep playing it forward so to speak. The quantity would probably change depending on the amount won, here's wishing us all a chance to WIN  ;)

Honestly, I'd opt to only get the monthly stipend, get a few thousand at a time. Getting money like that makes people go crazy, they almost always spend it all in a couple years and go bankrupt. If I don't need it, I'm not gonna throw it away, y'know?

As for relatives... point blank, the only people who would get money from me is my immediate family(mom, dad, younger sister). Most of my family is self-sufficient and wouldn't ask, and the only one who'd probably come to me would be my older half-sister, and I wouldn't give her a dime even if it meant the end of the world. Her kids yes, but never her.

You would go crazy?  Aren't you already there? 

I am and I'm loving every minute of it!   :lol:
