Well, if I would win a $150 million lottery, usually that is over 20 years, but I would take the cash option, which means you only get about $80 million. In Minnesota, you will pay 42% total taxes on this (as of a year ago), counting state, federal, and any other taxes. So on that massive $150 million you won, you will only actually have $46.4 million.
Making even 1% interest per year on this would be $464,000. So after taxes, you would have a good $250,000+ a year to just live a very comfortable life. I wouldn't need to buy a massive house or all sorts of cars. Just simply live comfortably on this interest. I would also continue going for my college degree, and attempt to get a job in statistics.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
