Someone had a great day on Tuesday, October 23rd. They had the impossible odds on their side, and they became a billionaire. Okay, well maybe only a millionaire because, ya know...taxes. Still not a bad day for the lucky winner. Here are a few crazy things a winner could do with all that money:

1. Buy an island.

You could buy your own island. Pumpkin Key is a 26 acre island just off the coast of Miami. It's all yours for $95 million.

2. Buy a pro sports team.

You could buy the Florida Panthers NHL team, and they're only worth a fraction of your winnings. According to for Forbes, the team is valued at $305 million

3. Buy a 120 inch TV.

This TV is massive and only around $108,000.

4. Buy the International Space Station toilet.

I think I would rather just upgrade the bathroom in my house, but if you always dreamed of being an astronaut, here's your best shot. It's only $19 million.

5. Buy a yacht.

These things are mansions that float. These style boats sleep a lot of people along with crew in bedrooms, that line the boat. They can vary in price, but the one in the picture that I took at a boat show not too long ago was around $29 million.

6. Pay off your debts.

Mortgages, Car payments, student loans, and more. A billionaire won't ever have to see anything like that again.

7. Donate to charity.

There are a lot of people out there who use their money for good. There are thousands or charities and organizations that change people's lives, save animals lives, help people in need, and many more. Donating a significant amount of money to charity would be very reasonable, and you would be able to change a lot of lives for the better.

8. Put it away.

Most importantly, be sure you save and spend it responsibly.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.
