Nah it would be a full time job just managing it (or managing the people who manage it) and figuring out how to be charitable with it. I'd be stressed I wasn't, like, solving world hunger with my obscene amount of money, and I'm not cut out to start up and run that kind of organization. Hopefully there would be somebody I could just hand over gobs of money who I could trust would use it well, but who? How do I find this person? Maybe Melinda Gates or Oprah or somebody like that would have ideas and be willing to share lol.
We keep talking about all the ridiculous shit we could buy if we hit this. We'd set our families up so they never have to worry about anything again, then buy a house in at least 2 dozen countries with a private jet to fly whenever we wanted. We'd both quit working and do a lot of volunteer work.

In a perfect world, I'd have someone I trusted to claim the ticket for me, giving me a much smaller amount in exchange for keeping the majority of it. I'm way too anxious about safety issues with that kind of money, so I'd gladly put that on someone else, ha! But really, there's no legal document that would protect me and actually be enforceable if whoever claimed the ticket decided they didn't want to keep their word, so I'm not sure I could actually bring myself to hand over a $1.6 billion winning lottery ticket.
I hope that a whole bunch of people in all of the states hit the jackpot. One person doesn't need that kind of money.
Sure, that kind of money brings stress...and I would 100% be willing to see if that is the kind of stress I can handle.
I just read an article that something like 75% of all number combinations will be claimed for Tuesday's drawing...so...people are going to win. And it will be bananas. lol
