As far as I can tell, this is the largest lottery jackpot ever, for any country (see this page for records). Assuming one person wins, he or she will get about $350,000,000, after taking into account taxes on the winnings.

What would you do with that kind of money?

I'd make money sandwiches.

And replace my toilette paper with c notes.

Spanish Christmas Lottery El_Gordo

Total amount much higher except more people win due to easier odds.

my company recently did this. 5$/person totalling 60-70 games. We won 2$!!!!! I said give it to one of the kids college education. I guess they'll be asking for another $5 soon

I would by a Mansion and only live in 1 small room of it and use only one rest room and keep the rest of the Mansion empty. I would own one custom sports car that would be a one of a kind. I would travel alone most of the time but also with old friends when its time to party a bit.
I would not make myself known to people (the best I can) about the kind of money I have. I would donate money to the Fighting Game Community. I would donate money to charities and research but mostly I would walk into my local hospitals and just pay for peoples surgeries that are necessary and never leave a name of who payed the bill. I would donate to NASA in hope they would train me then let me be apart of a short mission in space.

I would probably not be able to keep a steady girlfriend until I adjusted to that money and lifestyle, so til then I would just collect 24-29 year olds until I was too old to keep that lifestyle up anymore or found someone that also had a good amount of money themselves because "Money changes everything". My parents might even divorce over that kind of cash.



In the end, I don't even know how it could effect me personally in the long run. I will not even play because my mind couldn't handle that kind of drastic change after I did all the things I wanted to. Giving is good but you have to take for yourself also. You could do a lot of good for yourself and other people but it can trust you into positions you don't want to be apart of.

at least at the casino you have close to 50/50 odds.

^^^ How much money you spent last month on stupid shit, food that spoiled, overpaid?

If for $5 you get at least some chance of winning where for $0 you get none... don't you think it's worth it chancing it for a shot at $400Mil cash?

Yeah, I know I have a better shot of jizzing all over Kate Upton's face than winning the lottery. But, should I win the lottery, the chance to rejuvinate Kate's pretty facial skin goes up astronomically.

I'll be in my bunker... hope they don't mind sticky dollar bills.

Move to France, start a posh vineyard, and start up a business for restoring classic cars. Kind of like those two guys on Wheeler Dealers do. Also, i would throw a couple of million to a few ex lucas arts employes so PKC can get a new X Wing (or TIE Figter) game.

I don't get how this works. Say a lottery ticket costs $1. They need to sell half a billion tickets to pay the winner. And that's not including any profit which I'm sure they must make. I can't see 1/12th of the worlds population buying a ticket for the same lottery?

Every time the lottery doesn't get won, all the leftovers get put into the next one. Trust me, there's gonna be plenty of leftovers

Edit: Also, some people buy 10, or 20, or 30 tickets a week. And don't win
