While some say they would give a majority of their winnings to charity, I say it would be irresponsible not to spend a little on yourself.
If you're into sports cars, a Lamborghini Sián roadster, from Lamborghini Greenwich, costs about $5 million.
"I would call it a road legal track monster," sales representative Stephen Goyburu says. "It's pretty much like a fighter jet in road form."
You could buy 127 of them if you hit the Powerball jackpot.
If diamonds are more your thing, you could choose to spend your winnings on some jewelry.
"You can never go wrong with a beautiful big diamond on the wrist," says Robert Weintraub, of Manfredi Jewels Greenwich. "You want bling? We have it here."
A set consisting of a Vacheron Constantin wristwatch, an oval diamond ring and a pair of rare green diamond earrings will run you about $600,000 altogether.
This means you could buy the set 1,057 times if you hit the Powerball.
Finally, you'll probably need a place to park your cars and keep your jewelry safe.
The most expensive piece of property up for sale in Greenwich right now is going for a whopping $35,000,000.
