I'm sure plenty would be "invested" in some crap tables. That is just pocket change though. lol

You won't have it for a year, it would be stolen from you. It's happened to others who won when they play lose and fast with it.

I've thought about it a lot more.
I'd go to S.E. Asia and have a 150' solid teak Chinese Junk hand made for me with full sails and a caterpiller diesel in it. I'd have it shipped to San Francisco, Bay on a freighter and then live aboard it and sail the bay and the California coast. The rest of the money I'd invest for income.

I'd start a website called Mike-Data and make everyone here charter members.

[then you could talk about all things related to Mike]

So Drug and Hookers you do know there is more to life then that even Charlie Sheen who has the same lifestyle as that even has a Day job to keep Busy otherwise whats the point and you do know that having a OD dying at 30 happens alot to people that come into money and party too hard look at celebs who have died all before 30 from Drug Overdoses and you would be Right that 30 would be hard to make if you choose to live like that but it is up to you.

Plus having drug dealers and hookers that only like you for your money and drugs will take everychance to exploit you for money since you are not supposed to go flaunt your welth with that much money inn fsct you would need to be low key and avoid attenion till people forget you won that much money why do you think that people that win choose to not be named or have their picture taken with the gaint cheque and Remain unknown.


In fact you should Contact a the Lotto Company and hire a Lawyer that deal with Large Lotto winnings and they will advise you what to do and they would tell you to let it sink in and to have some type of plan because Cocaine and Hookers is not a good long term investment.

I would spend the majority on it starting my own animal hospital/sanctuary. I would hire a large and a small animal vet live in to help care for the animals, offer adoption services and hire local kids to help with upkeep, feeding, cleaning etc.

Oh, I might buy a new shirt or pair of shoes too....

Interesting... a caregiver I know said the same thing... open a hospital/sanctuary for animals.
