Introduction
Since even the biggest multistate lottos are never more than 300 mil or so, can't put things like "Buy the Dallas Cowboys" or any other sports teams I'd like to own. But still a list of more "realistic" things. Let's get some other suggestions folks!
Buy an island
www.vladi-private-islands.de/sale/site/html/cms_d…
It's not as outrageous as I thought. The link is just one I found (check out the Dunbar Rock Villa, holy shit). There are tons of other islands for sale in GORGEOUS parts of the world too, just too lazy to look them up for links.
Spend 1-2 years travelling
Plan a worldwide tour. I limit it to 2 years (continuous) because I don't want to lose sense of my home, but at the same time want to be away long enough to lose some of it (if that makes any sense). No particular places I want to go more than others, I'd go everywhere.
Practical financial stuff
Set up a trust to pay out to family members. Trust for education of my hypothetical future children. Buy property. Invest, blah blah blah. Back to the fun list.
Tesla Roadster
I'd buy this. And a clean, low-mile, cherry E39 M5. And I'd be set.
Go to school
I'd take classes left and right. All sorts of things. From photography to chemistry to physics to marketing. On and on.
Look after parents
This list isn't ordered by importance! I'd give my parents whatever they wanted whenever they wanted it.
Invest in things I like
Not stocks and whatnot, but VC/angel funding. (Note: if I hit the lotto, I'm sending some funds to OML.)
great list. i'm going to have to steal this one too. who knew islands grew on trees?

I knew it! Basically the same list as, "If I had a million dollars." Go to school? Yeah. Why?

Not sure if you're into hockey or not but you could probably get a team in you won $300M. Or at the very least controlling interest. Shoot you might even be able to get controlling interest of some NBA team like the Grizzlies or Hawks.

i'm with you on the travel plans; two years sounds like the perfect amount of time!

For 300 million you could purchase the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and then move them to Vegas. The city would construct a stadium for you and the value of your franchise would triple.
