There was just one winning ticket for the $590,000,000.00  powerball.  Sold in a small town in Florida.

Which begs the question...
What would you do with a half billion dollars?

Wouldn't change much, except for not working. That much money could secure the retirement years of generations; that's what I'd do.

Establish the Pyraxis fund, kinda like the Bill and Melinda Gates fund, and start financing space research, education, and cool small businesses in developing nations, or whatever else seemed to be a good use of more money than I could ever spend.  :P

I would build a multi-million dollar log cabin here, and fill it with a bunch of useless crap.

  I would be in shock and disbelief, at least till the first payment was deposited to my account.
  Then I would try to keep it a secret so I could stay where I am for the time being.  And I'd go to England!  :viking:

Free health insurance for the struggling middle class who have to pay everything out of pocket. I'd also make changes to mental health and start a foundation like Py said and make the funding transparent so no one can dip into the cookie jar without being caught. Also I'd make the salaries transparent as well so no greedy fuck who feels "entitled" to a ridiculously high  salary while cutting funding will go unscathed.  I don't want greedy fucks to go unpunished.

There was just one winning ticket for the $590,000,000.00  powerball.  Sold in a small town in Florida.

Which begs the question...
What would you do with a half billion dollars?

I would take a short time to set myself and my kids up for life, then spend a long time to factor the rest of the cash. I would need to look at all charities and any ways that I can get the best result from my funds and over the longest period of time. I would want to perpetuating after I am worm food. Most good for the money as possible.
