No SO at the moment. I would honestly dress in rags and hide my money as much as possible. It would be more fun that way.

I wouldn't trade my wife for anything. She's my best friend and she, my son, and my daughter are the best things to ever happen to me. If I won the $250M, I'd by us a house on a lake somewhere, probably about 3,000 sq. ft. I'd get us a couple jet skiis, a swimming pool, you know - the usual. I'd donate 10% to charities and make sure my children were set up AFTER they graduated college. My parents are deceased, but I'd give my wife's parents, who are divorced, $2M each. I'd give each of her sisters and brothers, and my two sisters, $1M each.

My wife and I would then spend the rest of our lives traveling. I'd probably get a part-time job working at a nursery (the gardening kind) and I'd go back to school and get a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I'd probably never put it to real use, I just want the education. I love being a software developer because it's so empowering. If I don't like how someone wrote something and if I think I can do it better, I just do it. An education in ME would further that empowerment.

I've also thought it would be cool to find someone who's real deserving but is very poor... someone with a couple kids and is having a real hard time making ends meet... and buying them a home in a nice neighborhood.

Like the old guy said in Ocean's Eleven: I want the last check I write to bounce.
 
I wouldn't tell her. Then I'd keep going to "work" at the job I secretly quit and go sailing. I'd have one of those self-storage garages where I'd drop off my daily driver after leaving work and pick up my Ariel Atom or Viper. hehehehe :evil:
