If I win, I’m hiring @isufbcurt to do my taxes and as a thank you, sponsoring his race car

Joined the office pool again. Pretty much because I don't want to be the odd man out if everyone else wins. 
I'm buying subscriptions to help his clients out.
I bought a couple plays. If I won, the first thing I'd do is put together a team of financial advisers, accountants, tax attorneys, etc. I'm not sure what the rules are in Wisconsin, but I would want to set up a trust to accept the prize for me, if possible, to try and keep my identity private.
Regardless of whether there's any way I can keep my name out of it, I would take care of my debts, as well as those of my parents and sister. Then I'd get a new car (more likely just a newer used car), and I'd buy a ****load of new cameras and lenses. Once that was done, I'd buy a house and move back to Iowa City and shoot for the athletic department again (unless they were willing to hire me as a staff member, I'd probably charge them like $10k/yr to cover potential repairs for my gear).
None of that would even put a dent into my winnings. With what's left, I'd donate a lot of it to various fields of medical research, with an emphasis on dementia/Alzheimer's (I had a couple grandparents go through that). The rest, I'd put some in savings and invest a lot of it. Ideally, I'd want to take the dividends and donate 50% of it to whatever (political campaigns/causes, more medical research, homeless shelters, etc.) and keep $250k each year as income, and reinvest whatever's left over.
You might say I haven't really considered this ridiculously unlikely scenario.

So do we just make Randy Peterson sit in a folding chair on the hillside or something? I like it.
Hide your cables on the ground or he’ll blame the student section if he trips.
Pay all immediate family bills, set up endowments/trusts for grandchildren, then disappear to secret location to be left alone. Finally, set up a NIL.
NIL...enough pissin' around...time to get the best of the best...Blum will await my call!

Wonder what it would cost to build a second house inside JTS with a room overlooking the stadium? Kinda like some of those coaches offices you see. Gotta imagine $50M would cover that, right?
Retire broke? That doesn’t sound like a very good plan my man.
