If you win tonight the 1.6 Billion $, how will you spend the money?

This was a surprisingly useful article about what to do: https://www.boredpanda.com/what-to-do-when-winning-lottery-blakeclass/

In short: Get a lawyer (or team of lawyers, honestly); give to friends/family only through trust funds, not actual cash; and use very safe Treasury bill-based index funds to pay yourself a sensible annual "wage." And probably go into hiding for a year or so too.

I live in Silly-Con Valley. People with this kind of money, and more, are not so uncommon here. Sadly, I'm not one of them.
 
Travel, especially to all the gallery vernissages (opening nights) I could physically get to. Also to a lot of thermal springs.

Whatever's left when I pop my clogs (or Frances pops hers, if I go first) goes to our daughter.

She's a sensible young woman: she can decide where the rest goes.

Cheers,

R.
 
I'd finally leave civilization behind and head for the woods

darn..might have to care the money is made good use of first
 
I reckon most of us have had a narrow escape as money only brings problems...

Seems about 70% of lottery winners go bankrupt within 5 years.

I had today some thoughts about the $1.6 Billion. Why not have it instead 1000 winners of $1.6 Million. Really ... why not? More people will be happy. $1,600,000
is a lot of money. Or, 1,000,000 winners of $1,600.

There are other tiers of winners... that`s just the top prize. Based on odds, you can`t make it easy to win. It wasn`t won in a long time, that is why it was so high.
