    Powerball. What will you do when you win?

    After some glitches overnight, they finally released the latest numbers. Nobody won, so the jackpot for Wednesday is up to $2.3B.

    The question is in the headline: what will you do when you win that money? Is it enough to bring world peace?

    No such thing as world peace, but I would like to think I'd make a sizeable investment in work to end hunger.

    For my own family, we'd most likely leave the U.S. and set up shop in Barcelona. Do a whole bunch of traveling, learn to ski, stuff like that.

    Well, never mind. Looks like my initial info was incorrect, and there is at least one winner...

    At least one ticket hits record $2.04-billion Powerball jackpot, lottery officials say

    With suspense only growing after Powerball officials delayed the Monday drawing for the record-breaking jackpot, the winning numbers for the $2.04-billion grand prize were announced early Tuesday — and it looks like there was at least one winning ticket.

    California Lottery officials said the jackpot was hit Tuesday, but it hasn’t yet been confirmed where or how many tickets matched the six winning numbers. Details should be announced later Tuesday morning.

    Make sure my kids and their families don’t have to worry about anything financially. I actually have everything I want. Besides a ‘62 Corvette that is.

    A foundation to sole world hunger sounds good. But I’d have no idea how to do that. I’m a software guy.

    Re: Powerball. What will you do when you win?

    I bought ticket with my office so guessing I would "only" get like $30-$40 mil. I would give $1 mil to every immediate family member, both our parents and our siblings. Pay everything off. Buy a new car for sure (my car is currently in the shop and they don't know whats wrong - think this is heading towards me getting a new car haha), set aside $2 million for each of our kids for their futures. Live off the rest for the rest of our lives. I like my job, but its pretty intense and stressful. I would probably quit my job and open up a used video game/movie/book store as more of a hobby than anything. Mark everything up like 5% just to pay the bills for the store. I would also open a small 1 screen movie theater in Lakewood, OH that plays exclusively movies from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. $1 a ticket. I like my nerdy taste and feel like I should share it with my community.
    What would you say.....ya do here?
