Seven Things to Spend $520 Million On [GALLERY]

Another big lottery payout is possible again tonight (Friday January 8th.) Presently the amount is around 520 million dollars. That's over a half billion dollars! I don't know the odds of winning that huge amount of money, but that doesn't mean I won't be going out and playing the odds.

So, let's pretend that I won 520 million dollars. What would I use it for? Well, that's a lot of money and I'm sure I'd spend it on a lot of different things over my lifetime if I invested it wisely.

First off, no one is going to win that entire amount. There are taxes to pay, and that will knock down the end amount a bit, but still you would end up with more money than any one person would need in their lifetime.

So, here is what I imagine I would do first in no particular order (all subject to change once the cash is in my checking account.)
