I also would buy a private leer jet for traveling anywhere I wanted and of course big ass house and huge car collection. My mom lost her lottery ticket she bought so I dont think well win this one I swear I think that was the winning ticket.
i'd probaly buy anthing and every thing video games, a house to store all of it w/a state-of-the-art protabilizing work shop and a nice big garage and the rest would be spent on my 68 LeMans OHC 6 w/ a 2 speed power glide(if you don't know what that is you might be a geek):D to make it look cool to drive to high school every day

the taxes for it would be a lot of there were sales tax, not all states have a sales tax but you would have to licence and have a title for it...all of that, for an air craft would be about $450
i would also buy a lot of cars and bulid a huge garage with a little aparentment attached to it...AND IT WOULD HAVE A PAINT BOOTH!...i need a paint booth
Out of the whole 70 mil, I would expect that about 35 would remain after tax. Figure you only get about $500,000 out of every million (my cousin told me while watching Jeopardy when Ken Jennings was doing well). This includes income taxes and sales taxes.
I'll bet that he took a fall for one reason or another, either because he was getting sick of the whole thing or there was some kind of bribe with the network.
