Make friends with other billionaires and ask questions about how I can oppress people to make even more money.
Hire a staff of personal trainers, including a couple food specialists.
Purchase property in places all over the world.
Buy EA and liquidate their assets. I'd sell the sports lines to SEGA.

I always wanted to bring all my friends and family to the Wipe Out course and have a badass weekend. After that its just normal day stuff. Or just be the dude that throws fakes pizzas at people on the course.

OH, after all the serious shit is taken care of, I'd probably try to pay Blizzard to make a progression server for WoW. i.e. their vanilla server that then goes through all the expansions, because I missed a bunch of them after Wrath, and didn't even do the first 3 properly. Had to take lots of breaks for rl shit. I'm not sure if I could buy Blizzard outright, since they are owned by a larger company, but I'd look into it.

Fully fund my own podcast called "The Accidental Billionaire". The premise would be to host different charitable organizations every week (vetted by FOH), discuss what they do etc and then at the end give them a few minutes to really pitch me. Every week a different one. At the end of the podcast season I'd choose one to donate a ton to, and give a few hundred thousand to the others for coming on the show. Then, I pitch my podcast and it's inevitable success to the brain trust (money launderers) at Netflix and turn it into a series where I actually visit the charities, sing and dance and all that bullshit, then reward them with a big giant check ala Gob/Arrested Development. That way, I start really earning the big bucks without having to touch my lotto winnings. I figure a few seasons of that, and I can easily parlay it into a run at congress where I proceed to say no to literally everything, write a book about how inept and dysfunctional our government is and then in maybe 12 years take a shot at the presidency or vice presidency. The only way to live forever is to get the plebians to remember your name long after your gone.
Plus, that's far too much money to not give a ton of it away, unless you want your kids to be completely and utterly fucked up.

The thing is I've lived long enough to know that I'm pretty much an idiot when it comes to money, with that being said what if my intentions were to put it into some kind of trust or investment where it was stipulated that I couldn't touch it for x amount of years. That's assuming I even go that far without me having a fucking brain fart and think that I can do better some how and fuck away 3/4 of the winnings in some stupid ass start up company that I thought would take over the world. For me I am willing to burn away 2, 3 or even 400 million away just to have a build in safety net that prevents me from fucking up.
I work as a freelancer and my income is about 75k/year on the low side and 180k/year on the high side so having 30-50 million per year coming in is fine... for me there is no difference between getting 30 mil vs 50 mil/year. But you're right about me not knowing shit, but hey maybe if I do win someone can enlighten me.... hard to concentrate when you know u have about a dozen 10/10 hookers waiting at your home lol

Pretty much all of this except the last one. I highly doubt you could buy EA for $1.6B, plus fuck everyone that would benefit from that buyout. It sure as shit wouldn't be the actual game devs.
I'd do nothing but travel, go to sporting events, play video games all day, and build a fucking amazing shooting range on whatever property I decide to make my primary homestead.
My friend's uncle did like 25 years as a SEAL, I'm sure he'd be down to hang out all day and make tons of money. He's a pretty cool dude and he could teach me a lot about shooting!

Mandatory reading for all you lottery players out there -
If I could have one million dollars deposited into my checking account anonymously or win this jackpot I'd rather have the single million. I'm going to buy a ticket but I fear that it is too much money. I fear that it will destroy me and the lives of my friends and family. If I win I will never return home after I claim my prize. There's a sadness in that. I like my home.

Honestly, outside of the obvious (bills, house, cars, kids future, some money for family/friends) I have no idea.

Well, I'd hire the best financial person I could find before picking up the winnings. Have them get things right - someone who knows what the heck they are doing. That has to be the first thing. I already have a financial person, but I'd need someone on another level. Once that is set up, I'd send my family to a safe place. Likely an old family farm in a very far away country that hasn't been traceable to our family for a long time.
I'd pay my siblings' mortgages. There are a bunch of local charities I'd help out.
Ultimately I'd like to come back to the house I have now, live there as a family, and have a good life. I doubt that would be possible.
