Haha you can tell alot of you are young just by your answers. "I would keep my car" lol screw that...first teenage kid i saw after i won 45mil i'd tell him to take the keys and get this POS off my property...I would be moving up the car food chain :) Only Ford having a chance to be in my stable would be a GT or a Mint Boss 302.

I'm older than you and I'd keep my car. :p

Im pretty sure the lump sum is what you get after taxes

No, taking a lump sum at once you do not get the full amount, usually half. Then uncle sam gets his 40% so you basically end up with 25% of the original amount.

I would take the payments, and being 45 mill it would be just over 2 mill a year or roughly 1-1.2 mill after taxes. That being said I would take the first payment and buy a nice house, 500K buys you alot in Indiana. Buy a car for me and the wife and send the stang to MPH to be fully built with 600whp. Furnish said new house, save the rest and on future payments invest, buy real estate, etc.
 
If I ever won 45 Million Dollars I would get a penis enlargement and become a man whore.
Seriously now, I would invest the money in real estate and CD's and help a few people.
 
after taxes left me with 23million I would invest 18 million of that for interest.
I would buy a nice big house in Chiang Mai, and one in ****et or Krabi, because those islands are amazing....

Import a built 87 T-top 5.0 for night time
Buy a yaris for a DD (700 year old cities are not made for cars that you care about)
A entry level CBR 400 or 600

Then I would buy a smaller house in a nice area stateside. Buy and build a 04 cobra.

The rest would be spent decorating the houses.

The regular super lotto in Cali is up to $45M what would you do?
How would you take it?
Would you keep/stilll drive your current stang?

I would proly take the payments you recieve like 3-4 times a year so i wouldn't blow it. I wouldn't go on TV so people wouln't recognise me. I'd still finish up college then buy a house w/ a huge garage + lift in San Diego. Definitly keep my lovely stang, she's tired so i might put a 5.4 in her and make it a track car...then maybe a black/black 07 Z06...nothing too crazy
Id take the 20 or so mill cash after taxes and invest 18 mill...pay off my current home, buy a 03-04 cobra (1000 rwhp DD), buy a bentley GT, my wife whatever car she wants and just retire and travel. In about 5 years Id have another 5 or so mill gained off investmentsand just build up my money.
