If I won the Lotto

Ok, so I've been thinking about playing the lotto every once in awhile. Hey, what's a couple of bucks a month. I go to Starbucks at least once a week, so if I don't go there that's....$4.40 x 4 = $17.60. And that's if I don't get one of their new hot sandwiches, if I do that's $7.30 a visit. Anyways, the Mega Millions right now is at $77,000,000.00 and to get the cash value, it would be $44,000,000.00. The Super Lotto Plus is at $52,000,000, and would be $28,900,000. Now what would I do?
Pay off the house and all our bills. Would I tell the family??? I really don't think my family would become leeches. I would make sure that my sisters had cars that would last them. But GG needs to take better care of her cars!!! Both my sisters would need 4 bedroom houses. Maybe HB would need 5 for a home office. My aunt would need a 4-5 bedroom house. And I would pay off my mom and her husbands house. She's been talking about getting a slight bigger home, and at that time I would see if they wanted to sell and then get something else for them. I would then set up savings accounts for my nieces and nephews with clauses. YOU MUST GO TO COLLEGE to get the money at 18. If not you have to wait until you are 25. I would say 30 because that's about when you'd pull your head out and figure..oh I think I need to get my life together, but 25 is ok too. I would add the RV garage, basketball court, the deck and jacuzzi in the back that we've been talking about doing. And then.... I think I would also build a small office in the back and start up my own drafting company. I don't need an a license to do basic drafting projects. Only when it comes to MAJOR construction. But if I get a Structural Engineer's stamp then I'll be ok. I'd also put my grandmother in this senior center that has alot of great things in the community. It has it's own shopping center, beauty salon, a place for her to play bingo and do her crafts. They also have a van that would take her to her appointments. All she'd have to do is let them know what her schedule is and they'd come get her. I'd also take her to the dentist to get her some new choppers. I think she has about 3 teeth right now.
Then I would put some in a savings account and live off of the interest for the rest of my life. I would work part time because I think I'd go crazy if I was at home all the time, I can only clean a house so much.
Well that's what I would do, what would you do?
