1) Whisk my family off somewhere private and secret untill we could figure out the best way to handle the cash 2) Hire the best Attorney and Accountant in sight. 3) Figure out what we need for a comfortable retirement, the kids education and a decent sum to give them when they turn twenty one, set that aside and lock it into something we can't touch untill its due. 4) Get in touch with other big winners who have survived the experience and get their input 5) Give any 'surplus' to the two charities we know, love and trust beyond any doubt will use the money as its supposed to be. THEN we would have the party. : )

Well I would go to the bank and put about $10,000 in it to save for a few years so I can send my mom to New York around Christmas to see the windows and the light displays (she's always wanted to go there). Then the next thing I would do is go out and buy every color Converse sneakers I can get in my size.

I would gather a dream team of lawyers and financial advisers (assuming it was the 220 million powerball). They would then be instructed to create trusts and offshore corporations in which to hide my wealth.

1-The first thing that I would think, is to find a secure place for my ticket, I would be too paranoid. 2-Get all my bills together, call those numbers and pay off stuff (student Loans etc) 3- shop around for a new house, car. 4-Buy my mother a condo, tell her that I got an accident settlement or something. 5-Take a trip around the world..... 6-after returning from my trip, plan to open my own business...I have to work, but I would do it for self not anyone else.... I know its only five things but the first one is just a thought...
