What would you do if you won $47 Million?

[AllinDan]

your post assumes that everyone you know would all of a sudden have to feel grateful just to be in your presence. While in all likelihood they might well feel this way, its a sh*tty way to behave.

I think there are ways to avoid the spotlight besides just getting out of the country. I'd probly quit my job (if I had one), head to vegas for a bit to party, then travel for some indefinite period of time until I figured out something I wanted to do, but in the immediate period following the big score, there would be much more celebrating, and many fewer contracts/loans.
