    I'd buy my grandparents' old house on an island in Puget Sound. I'd have fiber laid to it, because I'm not about to live my life like a savage. After renovating the house, I'd build a movie theater there and play movies I want to see. I'd build a restaurant that serves food I want to eat. Shit, with 700 million, I might even just buy the whole goddamn island and turn it into a private pot grow operation, ring it in razor wire, angry dogs, and private security.

    Then spend my life eating pot brownies and playing video games until I'm dead at 46.

    My coworker gave me a lottery ticket for Christmas. And I won! A free ticket.

    This gambling thing works!

    So, it's almost like going on the Today show kind of was a bad thing, and has now opened them up to a shit-ton of attention from unsavoury people looking for free money.

    What the hell did they think was going to happen?

    Honestly, I'd love to watch a reality show of these folks as they come to grips with their new found wealth.

    Focus: I'd find some small, podunk town on a major highway and buy/bribe my way into prominence and power. I'd invest in the community to the point where I became untouchable and would use my position to enact petty tyranny on anyone who drove through that I didn't like. Truck nuts on your vehicle? You're stopped for suspicion of drug smuggling, your truck is impounded and seized via abusing civil forfeiture. Out of state plates from a state I don't like? Busted for speeding/running a red/whatever and given an outrageous fine. Look/act like a douchebag? Locals harrass/provoke you into doing something stupid and you're arrested and charged. I would share any illicit gains with the locals in order to ensure their loyalty and spread xenophobic propaganda to maintain support for my activities. The hardest part would be finding the right town for this. I'm guessing somewhere in the south or New England.

    Alt-focus: You can't claim a lottery jackpot anonymously in Minnesota, but you're not forced to do any press or media event. Since you have a year to claim your winnings I'd follow the advice from the link Juice posted in the other thread, with the following caveat - I'd change my name before claiming the jackpot. I'd then change my name back after making the claim (if possible, but I think it's doable since Prince is a Minnesota resident) and keep it a secret. After the heat died down I'd sit down with my attorney and my parents and explain that I had set up trusts for them so they could enjoy their retirements however they liked. I would keep talk of my lottery win [with them] to a minimum in order to keep things on the down-low as much as possible. I'd be generous with my friends, but not support-your-life generous; things like I'd always pick up the tab, I'd give them nice gifts on occasion, stuff like that. I'd slowly upgrade my lifestyle but wouldn't do anything ostentatious, which wouldn't be that tough since I'm a pretty low-key guy anyway. I'd then funnel most of the money through foundations in order to invest in my community.

    Pfft, I can do a better job than Kim. I said I'd be colluding with the locals, not trying to turn them into a tourist exhibit. I'm already ahead of her.
