180,373,488,281.28 Yen. You'd be mega rich in Japan.

By the way, this works out to US$687 million US taxes!

Still 687million more in the bank than I had yesterday

If you do win it, you'd end up with more money if you take the annuity instead of the lump sum.
Nevertheless, it would still be an absolutely ridiculous amount of money. Hell, I'd probably give a large chunk of it to charity.

Hopefully you'll have the opportunity to give away a large chunk of your winnings!

I've always said if I won the lottery I'd be sharing it with family and charity in my area. The local legion and a few veterans charities would be getting a nice chunk for sure.

I have zero lust to travel. I'd probably just hunker down in a nice safe house, get a couple of quality vehicles, resume my hobbies, take up woodworking, and proceed to become a sorta-happy drunk. Other than that my only real obligation would be to visit Scotland at least once. Apparently there's an ancient pony trail going up the gentle side of Ben Nevis that isn't too difficult for most people to ascend. I'd really like to walk it and spread the ashes of my mom and grandma next to one of the waterfalls on the upper reaches of the mountain.

I have two daughters that would expect me to share now plus pass on what is left when I die.

Yeah, I have a husband, two boys one girl and a grandson that would want me to share. I will get my dream sewing room with room for all of my machines, fabric and patterns. Maybe a few really cool rare machines.

Just a thought on how to invest my winnings...

I think you'll be able to buy a new house to put them in, too!

Looks like it was won in South Carolina.

The winning ticket was sold in South Carolina, after Federal and State taxes the winner will walk away with around $500 million.
