And don't forget the PowerBall is close to $500 million for tomorrow night!
And i heard that there was no winner in California for the mega millions. Don't know about the other states yet.

yes! I would love to help individuals that I know need help. Like others have said thise that don't normally get help but could use it. What I wouldn't do is buy a big house or new cars.

I have two: 1. I'd figure out a way to fund/pay for OB/GYN med school for providers willing to provide abortions. Then, I'd provide planned parenthood with enough docs for life. If necessary, (i.e. - one does not need to reinvent the PP wheel) I'd develop community clinics to help with every sexual choice they had and for those who choose to be mom's create programs to help them get a great start in life. 2. I'd start paying for divorces for domestic abuse situation. Not sure if I need a full organization for this or just make it work. Like fund scholarships to create legal fellowships for family lawyers who then provide pro-bono divorces.
Details, scmetails. With 1.something billion dollars I might have to pay for someone to help me figure it all out.
Or 3. I'd buy a political position cause 'Murica and try to put my money where my mouth is.

School supplies and scholarships at the poorest schools. Lower middle class schools for me.

Everything I found is from 2 years ago or more. I bet she hasn't gone to trial, probably never will. Tanzania is pretty hard core about conservation though, so I hope she gets what she deserves.

My husband and I just talked about this the other day. I would start (or fund existing) STEM programs for middle and high schools in lower income areas and especially target helping girls get involved in math and science programs. I also love the idea of working on community health in developing countries. We also decided we would give a nice chunk of money to each member of our families with the explicit understanding that there would be no additional money coming in later years from us and start college funds for all our nieces/nephews.

I would continue to do some of the same things I do now, but on a larger scale. Donate to food banks, animal shelters, teachers I know, adopt a family.
I think also setting up scholarships through our school district that would support k-12 events for families that need it. Things like 7th grade camp week, 8th grade trip to Washington DC, or even kids wanting to play sports but can’t afford it. Along with scholarships for seniors wanting to go to college. Which makes me think, there are a few kids I can think of that I would set up specific funds for for college.
A gal I graduated with had a devastating house fire in the spring, and is having a heck of a time with insurance. The house was a total loss... I would get her a new house and things for her and her family.
Stuff like that. As much as I could keep anonymous I would. I don’t advertise that I do anything currently anyway. Except I may share a Facebook post for adopt a family, things like that.

Lots of RAK’s and two larger scale projects.
Dog rescues/shelters near a park with a borrow a dog program. Large dogs could be borrowed by runners for a good run. As a female runner I would lie this for my safety. Smaller dogs could be borrowed by seniors or walkers for a good walk. Exercise, socialization, companionship for both pet and human.
As a teacher i see some of my students have gone without their needed meds because they require a parent to pick up a paper script in person. Some parents can’t get off work, some abuse their kids meds, and some just won’t make the effort. I would have a doctor who sees kids at school, writes the script, and a pharmacist who dispenses it directly to the school for management.
