$500 million, cash payout of $327 million...roughly $179 million after taxes...MsGilmore would require $150 million for new shoes and purses, guess I would invest the rest and live quietly...

I would seek sound legal counsel immediately.
After that, the main thing I would like to do is buy a really nice motor home and travel during the summers to different parts of the country with my wife and kids working on various Habitat for Humanity projects.
The kids would have trust funds, but there would be serious restrictions that would ensure that they become productive members of society and not spoiled brats. I would also buy my In-Laws in a new house (across town) and remodel our existing home.  tee hee hee I left out the part about building a new house with no neighbors, a beautiful view, and a sturdy fence and gate  AND a commercial grade dishwasher! Don't foget to get new pyrex... :runs:

I would hire an attorney and an accountant ASAP. I would establish a foundation for charitable giving and hire some family members and friends to run it. I would pay off all my own debt as well as that of all my siblings and probably give them money as well. I would establish trust funds for my niece and nephew with the stipulation that they need to earn a college degree to access any of the money. I would build my dream home on as many acres as I could get contiguously in my area. I would build a fabulous horse barn and an indoor (and okay, an outdoor) riding arena and probably add a horse, or six.  And finally, I'd whisk away my fellow RRs for a getaway because I will have enough money for bail then.

First - Hire an attorney and become a ghost. Then....
1. God gets his first, thanks Dude. 2. Retire debt, mine and the families. 3. Set up investment trusts. I plan on living on interest forever. 3. Trusts for the kids and grandkids. No touchy touchy for awhile. 4. Set up a self sustaining (hopefully) trust for charitable giving. 5. Buy something stupid
