Can you imagine winning $810 million? What’s the first thing you would buy if you won Mega Millions?

Granted, the odds of winning are 302,575,350 to 1, but it’s fun to think about. And don’t forget to get your $2 ticket, after all you can’t win if you don’t play! The cash option is $470 million and after taxes it ends up being about $296 million, so you’ll definitely have some cash to spend.

You of course have some people who would be super responsible, or buy things they always wanted but never could afford, and then you have some who would blow it all and be right back to where they started in no time.

I walked around the office to see what the first thing my coworker’s would buy after they won the lottery.

 

The First Thing 5 Lottery Winners Bought After Finding Out They Were Rich:

  • John Kutey won $28.7 million and built a water park
