I read an article around the time of one of the big jackpots advising you on what to do if you win it. You need lawyers, accountants, financial advisors, estate planners... probably more people to watch them... heck I'd want security if I had to go public. I don't want any of that. Nothing I could get in material goods or experiences would make that worthwhile. You just trade one job for another (managing your money). Then everybody knows you as "the guy that won all that money" and they'll resent you even if they say they don't.
If I were given the choice of something like "Here's $50K a year, tax free, for the rest of your life that will increase 3% a year" or "Here's $500 million". I'd seriously consider the first option.
