I know him (oldest brother was married to his half sister years back). He has a bunch of kids (him/wife/kids live in an apartment), a crazy ex wife, his dad died not all that long ago and his family didn't ever have much money. He was a good Marine. Pretty decent guy especially after his time in the Marines.
I'd buy everything needed to be self sufficient for the rest of my days, find some cheap land out in the middle of nowhere, and I'd live off the land.
Lucky guy. That's enough money to pay off any mortgages, car loans, etc. and still have plenty left over. You probably couldn't retire, but it would sure make things a whole lot more fun!

I'd buy at least 50-100 acres of land.
Exactly.
If I won 2 million, we (my immediate family) would be set for life as long as we (kids included after they finished college) kept a steady job.
If I would have won, it would be 20-50 acre property, house, some full auto toys, a new truck, and part time work for as long as possible.
