With the recent excitement surrounding the largest Powerball jackpot in world history, we've all been secretly planning how we would spend the huge chunk of change. $1.5 billion is a lot of money to acquire all at once and it's important to strategize your spending. One way to approach your planning is by making a list. Here is a list of smart ways to spend your jackpot winnings:

1. Adopt as many dogs as your heart desires.

Because, let's be real, you can never have enough.

2. Pay off your college tuition.

Going to school would be a lot less stressful if we didn't have to pay for it.

3. Splurge in the Tiffany's store.

Who needs a boyfriend to buy you jewelry?

4. Buy a boyfriend when you get tired of buying yourself jewelry.

We're looking at you, Bieber.

5. Break up with him as a publicity stunt and date someone new.

Yup, Channing will do just fine.

6. Adopt more dogs.

The more the merrier?

7. Get season tickets for your favorite sports team.

8. Purchase your dream car.

Perhaps matching Mercedes like Khloe K.

9. Buy concert tickets. All of them.

They say money can't buy happiness. But it can buy concert tickets, and that's basically the same thing, right?

10. Travel the world.

11. Donate to charitable organizations.

Organizations like Hope Changes Everything provide education to underprivileged children in third world countries. This is the perfect way to selflessly give back.

12. Acquire the perfect wardrobe.

Retail therapy is the best type of therapy.

13. Pay off your parents' house.

I'm sure your parents would be a bit surprised you factored them into the equation. And, to be quite honest, this should be at the top of the list. Our parents do so much for us. Paying off their mortgage is the least one can do.

There are so many different ways to spend millions of dollars. Remember: it'll run out eventually. So, spend it wisely and remember this list when you win big!
