So you won a staggering $1.8 billion dollars. Yes, that was billion. Now the real question becomes: what on earth do you do with that kind of money? Sure, you could start with the basics—pay off debts, buy a comfortable home, maybe treat yourself to a sports car you’ll never find a parking spot for. But with nearly two billion dollars, your everyday shopping list might start looking a little… unusual.

                                         HERE ARE SOME IDEAS!

*Pay the doctor that saved your life when you heard you won and had a heart attack  Give him another million to keep him around just in case!

*Establish your own Nation: Buy an island, declare it a sovereign nation and name it Mar Largo Island .  “Must be over 18 to become a citizen.”

*Bribe all the 535 Senators and Congressmen $2 million each to pass a law eliminating all Federal Taxes and making you the only person in the country with the ability to collect taxes.  ($2 MILLION, YES, THEY’LL ALL TAKE IT.)

*Build a limo that fires live bullets when someone kicks it or its hit by a rock and drive it through the University and LA protests and riots.

*Offer Governor Pritzker $1 million to walk thru the ghetto of Chicago with a megaphone yelling, “Chicago is a safe city, crime is down.”

*Offer Gavin Newsom $1 million to just disappear. If he doesn’t accept, pay someone $1 million to have him disappear.

*Replace your front door with a solid gold one—then immediately regret it when you realize it weights 8,000 pounds.

*Pay Elon Musk to let you test-drive a rocket to Mars.  (what could go wrong?).

*Wait until 6 months after Mamdani gets elected Mayor of NYC and then purchase the entire City for $2 million.

Of course, most financial experts would recommend being a little more… practical. Investments, trusts, taxes, and estate planning come first. But let’s be honest—part of the fun of winning is imagining all the wild, slightly ridiculous things you could do before settling into being responsible.

So, here’s the big question for you:
If you suddenly won $1.8 billion, what’s the first thing you’d do?
Go ahead—drop your answers in the comments. Would you go practical, go wild, or a little of both?
