Say you're at your desk, you know the lottery is just a task on the poor but you buy in anyway just for the fun of it, and you win the $500MM jackpot. You are now gonna get $25MM every year, which after uncle Sam takes his cut in the city will net out to ~$11.25MM. What do you do? Do you stay in banking? Quit and start a fast food company? I'd love some thoughts.

I would honestly probably go to medical school - it's funny how school seems a drag when you're young but looking back on it, it was a great experience. I was too dumb to do medicine back then but could make a good fist of it now and I find the subject very interesting. I'd also for sure seed a foundation - not sure how much of the money I'd put in, but it would be a decently hefty amount. And I would buy cars (I love cars) and travel a lot as well I think. And I'd....have an active dating life. I'd also consider becoming a detective in homicide or something; I think that must be a very interesting job but it obviously doesn't pay well - since I'd be independently wealthy, I could do it for a hobby like Mike Lowry in Bad Boys.

Fund Antifa and alt-right movements that occupy the same geography and orchestrate some small civil wars for fun
Realistically, I'd quit my job to fund/help the movement of recreational drug legalization across the US
