    I'd take the lump sum cash payment. I would invest it, but, I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket.

    Lump sum payment, I would invest about half in google stock, them put 15 million in the bank for it to get interest (11 million is enough to life comfortably for my life) and then start a charity to help those down on their luck with 5 million.

    That leaves 2 million for me to lavish myself with gifts of love :).

    oh and any relatives that come up to me would be kicked out unless I actually know them.

    I would like to say that I would invest it for more important things.
    However, if I actually did win that much money, it might get the best of me and make me think I am so rich that I can just go spend it all and then end up blowing my money on things I might only use once.....

    If I won a 42 million lottery, I would the the payment. I would make a personal salary to live on after the major responsibilities were taken care of. I would make sure to go to a Bill Gothard seminar to help in putting perspective together annually, volunteer just like I was going to work, and make sure the finances were taken care of.
