Maybe not a jet; maybe a Baron- Make A Wish, Angel Flight, Shriners, and adopted rescue pets. For longer trips I'd pay for the chartered jet. My wife would be the dispatcher, my daughter would be the nurse, and my dogs would be the honor guard.

Looks like you've caught the bug like I have Captain Carl! I would always tell my flight students the quote given by Leonardo Davinci:
“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”
― Leonardo da Vinci
Sounds like its true for you and me both brother

Plus I have a lifetime goal of becoming a 777 Captain for United, and I've met every goal I've set for myself so far so I don't want to stop till I meet this one. When I can tell my grand kids I flew for United for 30 years, worked hard, and had a successful career, then I'll be happy to retire and go live in the Caribbean
I have quite a bit of flying under my belt and there are other things I would like to pursue....but get there in my own plane.

I'd be too busy working for myself at that point than to work for anyone else. A little spending for pleasure, but with the investments you could make hopefully the pot would grow. For the flying bug, well with all that money you can buy your own aircraft of choice.

Jackpot is now $950 million. Damn, that's a lot of cash! Some lucky winners gotta be out there right now not believing they actually won, only in America do we get such a chance, although infinitely low chance but still it's a chance to win big.
