So the Mega Millions jackpot is at like 200+ million now. Your walk away, after taxes, would be like 90 million bucks on the cash option. Yes, I realize the odds of winning are like less than getting hit by a meteor while guest hosting the Tonight Show, but if you did, what would you do with it?

Hire someone to throw a meteorite at Jay Leno. Then fly to London and buy a ticket to Top Gear.

Buy myself a Streetcar.I've actually considered that, at least attempting to get it started. You'd probably be better off trying to buy enough political clout to get it done though.
Or you could buy a small army of used cars and pay people to drive around in circles during rushour, making traffic so bad that people will want to pay for a light rail system.

I'm not sure there's that much I would do differently.

Blind trust. Tell no one. After a decent period, make up a story about getting a better job and how it requires a lot of travel, then hit the road with my better half and live off the interest. (My family and close friends would coincidentally find their financial problems solved)

Hire a lawyer. Hire an accountant referred to me by that lawyer. Create a blind trust. Send the lawyer as the trust's representative to collect on the ticket. Divide the money into long-term and short-term savings options as recommended by the accountant. Do not quit job. Do not tell family or friends that I'm rich on paper. Occasionally splurge on dividend income but never ever touch the principal. Finally consider having children.

Strangely enough, I'd probably keep working. I'd definitely travel a lot, eat at fabulous places and maybe buy a car that isn't 10 years old with 200K miles? But that's just a maybe.
