No. I'd consult one beforehand, preferably one with commercial advertisements or billboards (like those "hurt on the job, call us at..." Advertisements)

If you're willing to live somewhat modestly you can stretch out 10 Million dollars over 60 years as long as you're willing to keep down on the extravagant expenses. And by living modestly, I mean you have to barely get by on about $160K per year, that's if you're only living off the principle.

A modest 2% return on 10M is 200,000. 10M is enough to live will on interest alone.

Serious discussion time. What would be the socioeconomic impact be if the winner were to give every US citizen one million dollars?

Would the economy just crash? Extreme inflation? Or would it just behave as a giant economic stimulus package?

I think if I would win, I would do it, just as a social experiment. I'd throw the rest of the winnings in Swiss bank accounts in case the US economy shits itself, though.
