You win $250 million, tax free, in a lump sum. You can spend it however you want, you can do whatever you want with it (within the restrictions of the law).What do you do?I'd buy a house, first and foremost, then make sure it had an air conditioner (tired of this heat). Then I'd pay off my schooling for the next four years, start a personal library, and donate enough to local music programs that they could afford proper equipment and recruitment. I'd pay off my mom's mortgage and get us both cars that had excellent mileage.
