What would you do with 1.6 billion dollars?

I'm not American and I'm not going to drive to the US to buy a ticket, but that's an insane amount of money to win. So I want to know what you would do if you won?

I can't even imagine that much money. I think I'd probably want to buy an island far away from people, but I know I'd also want to start a couple of scholarships and fund to invest in start ups. I'd probably keep some so I could travel and live without financial worries, but I'd probably give most of it away.

I'd invest in some serious scientific research to come up with a viable solution to the out of control plastic waste that us humans are relentlessly spewing onto the earth.

I actually think loners (like me) make better rich people.

If you're an average Joe with lots of friends, becoming rich will probably mean your friends will become greedy SOBs once you move into a mansion and they'll say "you've changed" or "buy me one too." etc

So I would transition nicely into wealth, taking care of only a few close friends and family.

I'd get the mansion. I'd buy a few cars. I'd do a few lavish holidays. After that, I'd invest in my projects.

I would buy a house in Australia and Paris, put up a trust fund for my kids neices and nephews, buy new furniture and a new car, put money in the bank and the rest would go to charities like feeding the poor, housing the homeless.
