I wouldn't even quit my job just yet. Gotta decide what to do next.
Buy a sweet flat in London.
Pay off my student loan. Give my family some money so their loans are paid off.
Then fuck I dunno. Write my will so the vast majority of my money goes to charity. No I'm not going to leave it to my family, they'll piss it away on useless shit. Buying gifts for my relatives in India that I fucking despise. I'll give it to one of those charities that makes sure kids in 3rd world countries don't die of diseases we actually have cures for. And charities that pay for kids educations.
Before I rally was going to do some insane things like go to the playboy madison
Now I would just pay my bills and do a few things like go to legoland
But since this state makes you do a thing to prove you can win and they pay it I will say some rather nasty things so they cannot print it
I would give my my current jobs if I won though
I agree I will do everything in my power and beyond not to let people know I won because over the years I know some nasty people. I would not even let my family know about it
I wouldn't quit working right off...I'd wait for the check to clear. Maybe take some time to figure out exactly what my financials are going to be like. But I know there's no way I'd be able to drag myself out of bed every day for the rest of my life knowing I didn't have to. Maybe if I could find something to do that only needed one or two days a week, just to keep me occupied, but that's all. Ideally working for myself I suppose.
What would be really difficult is deciding where to live. I live here for my job, and my family is spread out. I don't know if I'd stay here or what.

That is certainly a hell of a sum
Even if you only ended up with a quarter of it after taxes and taking the lump sum, dang, you'd still have over a million a year to play with plus interest
I think I'd open a writers retreat and give scholarships so poor but rad writers could go somewhere nice and focus

I quite like my job, but if I won say the Euro tonight, then I would be hard pressed to not quit right away. I try to think I'd be very generous in the time I give this company before I leave it but that's only because I don't have the money yet : b

Yeah you don't want to quit and then have something happen and then you're all "lol jk ily my bff"
HunterChemist with a heart of AuRegistered Userregular
Two chicks at the same time. Dudes with money can make that happen.
In reality though, with that much money I would take care of all my family's needs including parents, nieces, nephews, and in-laws. Then I would buy a huge property somewhere mountainous with good hunting and fishing and live like a crazy mountain man, except I still want high speed internet and satellite TV.
Definitely wouldn't quit my job; once the check cleared, I'd manage my and my wife's loans, and then, once we examined how much we had left, I might roll back my hours to On Call/Part Time (my job is good about that), just so I had somewhere to go. I would purchase us a reasonable car and house. Set aside enough money to raise our future adopted children in comfort. And then I would honestly just live in comfort, with the occasional bit of insanity thrown in.
I would probably launch a failed comics and RPG publishing company, for example, because why the hell not.
If I won, I'd ruin the lives of one of my ex-coworkers. Like, do what The Penguin did in that Batman panel where the chef laughed at him.
Unfortunately for me, she's not an ex-coworker because I started my new job yesterday and she was starting her first day too as my superior.

What I would want to do is find 10 people who are in various levels of fucked in their life, and completely pull them out. A smart student who can't afford med school so they choose a different major based only on the financial decision...bam, set up a trust fund for living expenses and pay full tuition so they get out of school debt free. Finance somebody's dream of writing a novel or making a short film by covering their expenses for a year or two so they have the time to do it. Give some company or university a donation to focus on specific research for something that a person has a huge interest in and is cool. Something that involves snake venom, fire, lasers, space, teleportation, lightsabers, or giant robots preferred.
I'd probably invest in more property and expand my share portfolio. Once I was reliably taking in about 2-3mill a year I'd set aside around 750k for philanthropy, pay myself 500k living expenses a year and then just use the rest to expand my empire. Every year I'd just increase how much I spent on those three things
My mom told me about one of her co-workers at her old job who won a $10,000 lottery ticket, but she didn't want to have to pay taxes on it, so she got it framed and hung it in her living room instead of cashing it in.
I know this is old but I just started reading the thread.
Call me crazy but this quote is exactly what I would do.
I would photocopy the check and frame it and tell every gullible person I knew that I hadn't cashed it due to some moral reasoning. That way I could avoid most of the inconveniences of wealth like moo hers and attempted murder.
Then I could quit my job and find something part-time but creatively-fulfilling. Maybe go back to school for a few classes. Definitely buy a decent car (and customize the SHIT out of it) and buy a small house in a nice neighborhood and have the interior remodeled to suit my tastes.
E: I would also fund a project to stop autocorrect from changing words to make sentences say the opposite of the thing you tried to type.
I'd buy a Prius.
Then, I'd take it to a car customizer, tell them to tear out everything that makes it a Prius and turn it into a car that can get a 12 second quarter mile.
The only rule is that, once their done, it still has to look like a Prius. Oh, and no god damn window stickers, that'd spoil the fun.
I would do this just to see the look on someones face when they get smoked by a Prius.

I'd buy Penny Arcade from Mike and Jerry, give them 100% control over everything by contract except for the forums, and ban people for my amusement for little if any reason.
I'd also clone Khoo and take over the world through joint ventures and synergy.

I'd just pay the mods to lock old threads. Or maybe just pay the mods. Except those Writers Block mods.
640 million is probably just enough to buy off some reps and treasury bureaucrats and get the currency changed to something swimmable for the wealth you no longer have.
I wonder if there'd be enough to buy up an island nation AND build a volcano base on it?
I'd build the island from The Incredibles and rich thrill seekers could pay me to "infiltrate" it as secret agents or superheroes in a big-production game of capture the flag.

He'd put it on his show and make millions more.

and then make them pay their share, until they're completely bankrupt and I still have millions and millions to spend on anything I want

I'd be posting on the secret millionaires only forum.
Also marry Key. Dunno how I'd use money to that, but love will find a way~
What spring does with the cherry trees.
and with the remaining 639.5 million, I'd start a company and hire all of my friends to work there
