You win the Powerball. What're the first 5 things you buy?

This is interesting:
Agree with the attorneys and all that. I'd not go crazy, I would take it calmly. I'd invest/save 99% of it, which is a lot. And then I'd live with the remaining 1%, which is about 10 million.

1) A Nice house wherever my wife wants to move, probably around San Diego, an area we both like (2-4 M). This includes all related expenses like first class tickets and renting a luxury car for driving around, etc.
2) I'd give my parents and my parents in law 5M, so they can live on the interest (300k/year) for the rest of their lives.
3) Let my wife go on a shopping spree to an upscale mall and spend without regrets on my current Amex (20k, hopefully)
4) Fly first class wherever my wife wants to go. Europe, maybe.
5) Buy some nice watches that I don't buy right now, but one at the time so that I can enjoy them (200k in 2 years).


I definitely would buy some nice cars. What I would NOT buy:

1) A private jet.
2) A yacht.
3) An apartment in NY.

I'd invest in my business no more than 1M and continue working because I don't see myself in the future just doing nothing.

Thank you to the OP for the chance of day dreaming a little bit.
