The Powerball lottery is up to $1 billion tonight. If you won it, what would you do?

Hire and accountant. Taxes are too complex and most lottery winners are bankrupt in 10-20 years as they fail to budget correctly.

I'd probably pay off my house, upgrade the furnace to a heat pump (something i'm doing with the next bonus anyway) turn the rest over to charities. Though with that much money finding charities that can even accept that much money is hard.
