Place the winnings into a legitimate investment vehicle that would return at least 10% a year.
Then live off of the interest. It's as simple as that.

sinisterpentatonic said:

sure! i'll supply the disco music, lava lamps, beanbag chairs and general overall groovy atmosphere. tie-dyed garments are optional

i better sign off and start getting ready!

XxAxX said:

i can't wait!

um. have you invited anyone else besides me?

sinisterpentatonic said:

umm. yes! well, kind of. that is, almost! sort of, anyway. well, no. actually not.

XxAxX said:

hmm. so this is a date then?

sinisterpentatonic said:

yes! yes it is just the two of us. well, and a few 'souvenir' relatives i keep around for laughs. you'll meet them later. in fact, i'll seat you next to good old aunt bessie. she'll be propped up to your right and on your left will be great-uncle mcadams.
nothing fancy.

First of all, I wouldn't want them to tell anyone. That's nearly impossible though since I think they have you do press releases and stuff. I would invest, so that the money can work for me and I will never have to work for it again. I would pick one fun crazy thing to buy or vacation to go on a year. I would still like to work but, just doing what I want to do. No MTV cribs or Lifestyles of the Rich type shyt. Try to stay grounded and have fun.

sin? you signed off? are you afraid? don't be!!!

a LOT of folks send their deceased relatives to the taxidermist instead of to the mortuary.

sin? you there buddy?
