    Why not do both? Set up a foundation that invests the money and use the revenue to do things to help others. Using a revenue stream to assist people means that foundation can exist in perpetuity and help many more people than if the original capital was simply given away. I would do this too. I think it's a great idea to help other people.

    It's an okay place. We won't be back in a hurry. Hopefully Hawaii is better with fresh air.

    Vegas is good if you don't like gambling :). cheap booze, cheap shows, cheap shopping, just ignore the riff raff, the smelly gamblers and bloody annoying guys handing our nudie cards.

    Don't forget us when you win Powerball larry :p

    You've already been to SF yes?
    You should like Hawaii, it's low crime and very nice scenery. Fresh ocean air aplenty.

    I must have the wrong attitude, I hate people obsessing with what they are going to do with their win lotto win, ok this is seriously different, but does it mean you are not happy with what you have?? not living the good life..... sorry guys.....back to lotto dreaming. :p

    I don't think any one of us is obsessing over it, it's just one of those nice daydreams to have and there will for 99% of us be those things which are just unattainable no matter how well we might do, that only massive lotto win could buy; that private jet, or penthouse in New York etc.
