Well figuring they get half. That leaves me $45m. Let's say take $10M to
get a nice house, boat etc. $15m goes into long term bond and say $20m to
Microsoft Stock. Over the course of 20 years (actually the Calif lottery
now pays over 26 years) I believe (and believe is the operative word here)
I would come out ahead.

Of course I've never actually researched this before, that is why I was
asking out of curiosity what some of the savvy investors on the list would
do.
