Good Lord!
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- A central Missouri convenience store clerk with $28.96 in his bank account and a stack of utility bills to pay came forward Thursday as the winner of a $258 million Powerball jackpot.
Chris Shaw, 29, said he plans to use the winnings to pay off the $1,000 he owes a friend for a truck he recently bought, catch up on his utility bills, see a dentist about getting his two missing front teeth replaced, and take his three children and his girlfriend's two children to Walt Disney World in Florida.

Why is it always old people and guys like this?

Unfortunately, for people like him he will most likely waste it all and be back to the convenience store.

Hope he helps his friend more than paying him the $1000 for the truck.

All I know is I'd know what to do with that money. And we'd have one wicked playhouse.

I'd buy property while the market is down so I could have something to hand down to children. Thats if the country holds on.
My most expensive item would probably be a bomb shelter equipped with plenty of doomsday necessities.
There would be plenty of cars. I doubtfully would ever work again and I'd do LOADS of traveling. Dive a different coast every week.

I'd take 10 million and blow it. Rest goes into a protected fund. To protect myself from myself and the money from other douches.

With my LUCK, I could what IF myself to death. I am THRILLED when I win $2.00 on a $5.00 rub-off ticket. It just means I LOST less.

Yeah Bill, I think thats the best approach.
Id take 10 million for FU money, then buy some property here and there and rebuild it.
The other 220+ million Id just have invested into several different spots....

Exactly what I would do. Buy a plane, boatload of cars, some nice houses, maybe a pirate ship, then the rest into CDs, gold, silver, mutual funds, IRAs, etc.

I'd build myself an underground theme park that doubles as a bunker when then end of the world comes in two years. I'll ride my ferris wheel into extinction.
