    After the IRS got their 50%, I would have 500 million.

    100 million of that would go to my church (I tithe)

    I would set up trust funds for grand children-about 10 million each (that's 60 million)

    I would put enough aside to insure my husband and I could live comfortably for the rest of our lives. (100 million)

    Give each of my children 20 million (100 million)

    That leave 140 million. I would give it away to people that God would direct me to.

    20 % of the amount would go to charity.

    10 % would be shared with family & friends.

    20 % would be invested in various resources to ensure that generations can survive on the interest returned (without letting anyone know about it !)

    And man, the remaining 50 % will be used to buy me all the vices in the world, I would live like a King, half a billion $ is a lot of money, in my part of the world, I wouldn't know how to finish off all that money ;)

    I absolutely would help build homes for the people in my area.

    we still have so many homeless, and living in tiny FEMA trailers almost a year and 1/2 after Hurricane Ivan.

    Next, I would spend every last dime on Alzheimer's research.

    I watched so many people I love sink into this dark hole, and never come back to us. It's so incredibly painful to see someone slowly lose their entire being, and leave an empty shell for us to mourn each time we see them. It's like a slow death each day.

    Buy a great house and car, put $$ in trust funds for my kids, my kids education, help out family and friends, open a soup kitchen and shelter, buy a farm and take in abused animals, and donate to my favorite charities.

    Probably many things.Here's a few:

    *Hire an attorney,keeping on retainer

    *Consult an accountant

    *buy a farm in Ohio and recruit homeless people to run it.Expand when necessary.Make it a place for them to grow their own food, & raise cattle and sheep for leather and wool for clothing.teach them to thrive and even profit.Let them stay as long as they want.-only if they abide by some sensible rules of conduct.
