60% goes into mutual funds.
20% goes into an aggressive portfolio.
20% clear debts, buy a reasonable place, a new car (probably a ford focus)
as far as bikes are concerned.
a Colnago Master 55 edition (any size, since its going on the wall as decor)
a Colnago c59
a Scott Plasma Premium
a couple sets of Zipps, hand-built enves smart 6.7.

"First, I take it to my friend Asadullah who works in Securities, and invest half into a mutual fund....."

With the winnings after taxes maybe about 400 million left I hope, I would go NHRA Top Fuel racing. It would be a thrill to own one of these pro teams as these are the hardest accelerating machines in the world:

I would sponsor a pro bike team. I would not get involved in trying to manage the team, just give them money to race, travel to all the events, and become an advocate for the sport.

It depends on how much money I have left over after hiring a body guard and an attorney.

If I won megamillion which I think about often I would buy a bunch of expensive roadies and a few Tri Bikes plus a couple very expensive touring bikes, and than use the rest so I never have to go to work again. Maybe get a plane ticket to watch the tour de france in person and be one of the nutters chasing the cyclists up hills with a rediculous costume.

You have quite some debt, sir. And quite a need for a very, very expensive house.
It's funny though. This lottery proves to be more of a social event. Even funnier when people say the lottery is a tax on the poor. They both sound pretty right to me.

Something as unlikely as me winning: an adamantium frame painted in unicorn blood.
And a few converted missile silos to be my new homes.

I'm on this also, I would like to build a indoor velodrome along with indoor hill climbs. And then I would invite the world in for my Marvel.
Not to mention to have Jennifer Aniston as my slave...

My own corporate jet to permanently avoid the morass that is commercial air travel these days... Then I'd fly everywhere/anywhere. And ride my bike there.

Oh, besides buying some dignity, I would also like to do what my 7 y.o. in all his youthful innocence suggested the other day: "we need to buy some people so we never have to do anything"..........
