1. Wouldn't tell anyone.
2. Because everyone will find out somehow, eventually, wait until there is a smaller lotto win, claim I won that one, say $2m first division.
3. Now you can distribute it as you really want.
4. Live on interest. Easier said than done.

5. Move to Maui.

There are many, many more like this guy, some far, far worse:

Pay off all debts eg:- mortgage

Employ my Older brother as an investment adviser

invest the lot and live and share the interest..

Well that's for starters...

But there would be non or little left if and when I was in my 90's

Probably start up a business to sponsor worth while Aussie inventions

It says that he would buy him a board

I wouldn't splash out on any flash cars, I WOULD however buy several specific motorbikes, but they wouldn't be used as daily drivers. I would get a new car, just nothing over the top.

I'd buy some acrage (probably about 25-50 arces)

Start my own businesses that I'm aiming towards

Buy some Dexter cows, and some sheep.

Breed dogs

Have my 1-2 acre Veggie Garden/fruit orchard

Kite every day that the conditions were good enough

I'd kill people for fun rather than having to rely on it for an income.
The work is so sporadic.

I'd buy up all the land around Lake Eyre that was at or above sea level.

Then I'd buy the Greens.

Then I'd run an advertising campaign and persuade the masses that boat people are AOK and good for their super.

The Greens would win the election and my mate Bob would implement a carbon tax and spend the money employing boat people (et al) to dig a channel from Port Augusta to Lake Eyre to flood the interior for the purposes of carbon sequestration and exercise.

I would declare myself King of the Lake and buy a house boat. I would float around reading poetry and drinking Coopers and in the evenings I would teach South Australians how to say "l" for free.

Just wondering why you said that? I have relatives who live there and have been meaning to go there at some point to visit.

Why Namibia?

Back on topic... I reckon I'd get day pissed.
