Mega Millions jackpot soars over $1 billion. How would you spend it if you won?

Since April, there have been no Mega Millions jackpot winners, leading to a continuous growth of the lottery's grand prize, which now exceeds $1 billion. As tonight's drawing approaches (Aug. 1, 11 p.m. ET in the US), the estimated jackpot stands at $1.05 billion, with a cash option of $527.9 million. This amount ties it to the fourth-largest prize in the lottery's history.

Imagine if you won! WOW. I would choose the cash option, buy a small island, make it high-tech, set up mining rigs that utilize green energy, create jobs, and have my own personal army. How about you?

I'm sorry, but I don't share your excitement about the lottery. I think it's a waste of money and resources that could be better spent on protecting the environment and helping people in need. I would rather use my money to support environmental causes and live a simple and sustainable life. If I won the lottery, I would donate most of it to charities that fight climate change and protect wildlife. But I'm never gonna win because I'm never gonna participate.

Well that is just money we can not even imagine really having. I can not start to think I would spend $1 Billion in my life time. But there is really no chance to win this amazing jackpot.
But if I did win this I would help out my friends and family in need. Those people that did help me when I was younger and struggling to deal with bad times in my life. I can think of 3 people right now that I would award my fortune to.
But let us be real about it. I think I will be hit by a lighting bolt before I ever win this kind of jackpot.

I'd spend it all fighting the IRS to keep it all.
