$500 Million Jackpot
The Mega Millions Jackpot in the CA Lottery has reached $500 Million. If I won, the first thing I would do is become debt-free. You can receive the money in two ways.
1) Receive half the total money in one lump sum.
2) Receive all of the money in yearly payments over a period of 26 years.
I personally would choose the second option, so i don't lose the money as quickly as i won it.
What would you do with the money?

It'd be more fun if I owned it, then I could design all the rides and stuff :3

no, you couldn't. they hire special roller coaster designers, testers, and engineers to make sure everything is nice and safe. They wouldn't let the owner, especially an owner with no knowledge of roller coasters, design the theme park...

Re: $500 Million Jackpot
This topic doesn't seem to fit the idea of something that you're reading or playing.
But it does make for an interesting gallery theme. Why not make a gallery asking others to create and add projects about what they would do if they won 500 million dollars? 
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease
