Most people got pranked on April Fools Day, but B. Raymond Buxton got paid. The California man picked up a huge check for $425 million Tuesday after turning in the winning ticket for the February 19 Powerball drawing. He retired right away. He was asked what he will do with the money his response was he was going to use some of the money to start a charitable foundation for "pediatric health, child hunger and education." He will also travel a lot. He also states that, "it is amazing how a piece of paper can change your life."
What would you do with the money if you won that big of an amount?

Good job but be sure to link to the actual story.
That's awesome, I would love to win that kind of money! I really respect him for wanting to use his money for good. I really don't know what I would buy.
He did the right thing, I would retire as well. Most of the money for me would go to charities and I may spend some on myself.
I think this story is really cool. I think its pretty cool that he wants to use the money for goods things and not useless things
I would give a lot away because I don't think a person needs that much but I would also enjoy it
First, I'd try to settle down from the excitement for about a week. Then I would probably buy a couple nice yet small homes (one in Florida, one in Hawaii, one in Harlan...) to go between. Travelling wouldn't be a bad idea either, to get to see everything you've wanted to see. But a certain must would be charity funding (cause everyone who wins a huge sum of money just has to give some to charity)!
I would keep some for myself and then the rest would go to exactly what he did with it. It would be bad if it turned out to be a bad april fools joke and he had already retired and stuff!
That would be terrible! Since it was on April fools Day I would have made sure it was not a joke.
i would keep it in a bank and let the money build up
I would keep it and give some to charity, to bad the government takes half of it.
