300 million ways

You still have a few hours to get your Powerball ticket if you haven't already done so by now. It's up to $300 million (maybe more by now, it was $300 million when I bought my ticket 5 hours ago). I don't play the lottery very often, maybe three times a month. They always say you have a greater chance of being struck by lightning then to win so I don't play much. Three hundred million is a lot. What would I do with all that cash?
Things to do the day after winning Powerball
1. Call my financial adviser Carol to discuss my portfolio
2. Call my travel agent to book the trip to Australia, Italy, Paris, Rome, the Olivia cruise and anywhere else I'm hankering to visit
3. Put Powerball ticket in safe deposit box
4. Take Donna to Providence Hospital to recover from the fainting spell she'll have when I tell her I, I mean, we won the Powerball
5. Buy that bottle of Dom that I've always wanted (what's a lousy $150 when you have $300 million to spend).
Things to do when I receive the winnings
1. Give 10% to my church Unity of Washington, DC
2. Take a health spa break
3. Go shopping, buy new clothes, new car, new houses (one in Canada, one in Fla. and other in Rehoboth) new big screen tv, new body, whatever as long as it's new
4. Drink that bottle of Dom and buy a case if I like it
5. Go back to my home town, with my new car, new clothes and new body and see as many of those high school folks who treated me like dirt( we all can relate to that I'm sure)
6. Buy a bigger house for my sister and her new grandbabies and get her some help
It's nice to dream. If you don't hear from me for a while you'll know I'm busy with my to do list. What would you do with $300 million?
