after taxes the recipients would get 7.5 mil a year for I think 20 years or get a lump sum of 110 mil at once. After inflation 20 years from now and what kind of money you could make investing I don't know why you wouldn't take the lump sum.

How exactly does going to school and starting a company instantly ensure that you're going to make money out of it, be "the best" and that everyone is going to want to be part of it?

my statement was too short..
my point was that it makes more sense to go to a good school, get a good education, and work for a living rather than survive off of lottery money and ignore your opportunities to better yourself. i don't mean that you have to go to an Ivy league school and become a desk jockey... i mean, why not pick your favorite subject/hobby/interest and get educated enough about it to the point where youcan do whatever you want.. and be successful at it.
my example... if i was to win $X,000,000, i would do the things everyone else would (to a point..), like buy a nice house, car, etc., and then set myself up with the schooling and equipment/facilities to take my interest in cars even further. i would do the same with photography. now i don't expect to automatically be guaranteed success in my business and be some kind of amazing world changing person, but at least i'll have something to show for myself, and at least i'll be doing something with my life. i would get bored out of my mind having a shitload of cash and living the stereotypical life of a celebrity, doing nothing except spending money... and that was my point, that it is stupid to win the lottery and do nothing except 'live large'. i dunno, hope that makes sense.
