DonDiego, himself has always thought that if he won even as much as, say, $5,000,000 he wouldn't change his lifestyle significantly.
But $700,000,000 is a lot of money.

DonDiego would likely become quite the hedonist.
hedonist
noun
1. a person whose life is devoted to the pursuit of pleasure and self-gratification.
And DonDiego would most certainly not spend his very, very valuable time smearing the little people, . . . as some within this forum might choose to do.
EDITED TO ADD
Oh, wait. DonDiego forgot to mention travel. If he were to win the big jackpot, . . . even if he had to share it with 2 or 3 other winning tickets, . . . he'd definitely become a world traveler.
And as luck would have it the New York Times just published a list of 52 Places to Go in 2016. As poor old DonDiego was scrolling through the list he just stopped at #26 Isla Holbox, Mexico. He thinks he might like to live there.

This ammosexual,knuckle dragging, mouth breather who likes things that go "BANG" would love to acquire a tank.

One of my few personal indulgences, probably to go along with a few( or many) other things that go bang
I might have to get one of these bad boys as well. I think it would be the crème' de crème for a later middle-aged, balding white guy, don't ya think?

I believe Don Diego is correct, wrapping ones head around the true amount that 800mill is and what it coulkd indeed buy(or influence) is a bit mind boggling. I can definitely imagine a good bit, but pushing a billion is pretty out there.
Oh yea, one more thing, I really need a kidney.
