AceD:
I'd quit working and do exactly what i do now...just upgrade things i already have to better ones, and go on holiday more.
Sosseres:
With no money worries.
Buy smallish house with a largish lawn.
Get fiber to that house.
Hire a "butler" (cleaning/cooking/gardening)
Improve hardware.
Live in leisure.
vuzedome:
Well, if I had that much money, I'm gonna open up my own telco company, might look small but I cater for the locals in the same state, cheaper secure faster and stable speeds for everybody living here.
Like 2 P2P? No problem, unlimited bandwidth, no trouble from those unwanted snoopers either, your privacy is the company's concern.

$250 million USD, a typical state powerball lotto.

lol no its not. Powerball starts at 20million and it goes up every Weds and Saturday until someone hits the jackpot. Samething with Mega Million

ur right, tho not long ago we had a powerball in WI for 290 mil, but its all relative to how many tickets sold and whether or not someone won the previous week(s) last year there was one for around 350.
as I looked just a second ago, the current drawing in my state is for $100 mil, I guess I did exaggerate the typical prize at any rate.

With a huge financial windfall, I would:
1) First, not quit my job until I had the money in the bank and available for use.
2) Hire a financial advisor / financial planner / accountant.
3) Pay off my house & car right away.
4) Build or buy a new permanent residence in the $300k to $500k range, just haven't decided where yet.
5) Give my old house to a friend as a gift.
6) Set aside some chunk of money and split it up in some fashion between friends and family. Even though it would be impossible to solve the financial problems of everyone I know, I do believe in sharing my good fortune with those who are close to me.
7) With the remaining money, I'd figure out what kind of a modest income I could get with investments and whatnot.
8) Create a will and identify my sister as my beneficiary.
9) With all of my "needs" addressed, I'd probably a) travel some more, b) learn to cook more things, c) maybe go back to college and take a class or two for fun, d) either take a martial art or hire a personal trainer, e) focus on writing fiction, f) goof off a lot
