If you won the lottery...

From the SHOCK of winning,........I'd probably have a heart attack and die!! The wife would get all the cash. Once again,...........reminding me,..........that I'm worth a lot more dead than alive! 
But seriously,.........I'd go slow with all decisions as Thrasherfox had mentioned earlier. Winning that much money usually brings out the STUPID in people. :cookoo:

If I had $213M? Hmmmmm....
So, assuming a worst case tax situation, that works out to be about $100M net.
1) Set aside $1M each for all family and close friends and make it available to them whenever it was needed/wanted. (Gifting it has tax implications, otherwise I'd just give it to them.).
2) Donate to and reach out to all my favorite charities and let them know that they should call on me for anytime they needed funds for a specific cause/need. This would allow me to direct the funds specifically and ensure that the money is used for the good of the cause as I would intend.
3) Find a few struggling (poor/lack of funds) but worthy students and pay their way through college with the condition that they maintain a certain performance standard and buy them a decent car upon graduation.
4) Start a legal practice that would fight/defend the average citizen against corporate and government BS so that the "we've got more money and time than the poor folk" strategy wouldn't be available to rich criminals and businesses.
5) In general, fund or help fun any cause of worthy principle that would otherwise go unaddressed.
Toys? Well, of course! I'd have the following for sure:
1) Three homes - East Coast, West Coast and Europe. Not necessarily mansions, but decent homes each with at least a three car garage! And in the garages would be:
a) Hayabusa with custom paint designed by me!
b) The new "Blue Devil" corvette!
c) The latest Lotus Elise!
2) I would also have a home recording studio in one of the homes along with a couple of new axes that would include a George Lynch Purple Tiger copy
and a John Myung RBXJM2 bass
Finally, I would travel all over, spending real time in places that I like and I would spend a lot of time learning and going to schools for everything from riding to driving to racing to wrenching to studying music and language and science.
Oh, and I'd try to buy some extra time.
That's all.
