    Roll around in it naked . . . that is a heck of a pile I would imagine!
    ...wonder is it would fill up a bath tub...

    Me? Make sure my kids would be taken care of. (double sure my ex wouldn't see a penny of it)
    Pay off all debts
    Move out of the state (the snow is really wearing on me)
    Plan a kick *kitten* winnebago trip with me and the kids over the summer that they will need therapy for years to recover from (payback from the trip to disneyland in the station wagon that still gives me night sweats)
    Be responsible and invest and prep for retiring
    ...and for charity? Give at least $100 to the guy downtown who does the most amazing robot I have ever seen.

    that is A LOT of money haha. firstly, I'd use some for my college education, and give some to both my brothers for their future college educations. I'd give some to my dad so he can expand his business. I would invest in my best friends dream, opening a baking business. I would buy my parents a new house. a fuel efficient car for myself. give a lot to everyone in my family for them to do whatever they please.

    I would also help out organizations here in the united states such as wounded soldiers. helping combat childhood hunger in this country, but more specifically, my community. American cancer society because I think it's a fantastic cause and near to my heart. also donate some to the animal shelter in my community so they can care for as many animals as possible.

    it's all a nice dream :)

    First thing I would do is sever what little contact I have remaining with my family. I would disappear for a period of 3 years living a lavish lifestyle in some sort of tropical paradise that isn't prone to hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcano, or tornado attacks (and has no extradition treaty with the US).
    Meanwhile I would hire a group like Blackwater, re-emerge under the name of General Powers Lightning!! and invade Cabo San Lucas (renaming it the Joemanian Republic of The kingdom of the Empire of Joe) declare myself Emperor for life, and subjugate it's inhabitants to a life of service to me (they would agree to this of course because who really wants to live in Mexico or the US when you can live in TJROTKOTEOJ (Pronounced "Joe Land," the letters are all silent). After we kill all the drug cartels, my Empire would slowly creep north all the way to San Diego where we would all throw rocks across the border and laugh.

    It would also be mandatory for everyone to learn Klingon for all official business and in communications with those we are at war with, that would just sound really badass!!

    All the statues of me would also be facing the general direction of Washington DC and flipping the bird!

    I would share it with my loved ones, open an animal sanctuary and travel.

    I would also buy a giraffe, because who wouldn't want a pet giraffe?

    NO!

    Jesse Ventura would be banned from TJROTKOTEOJ (Pronounced "Joe Land," the letters are all silent) as well as anyone who looks like him, or has been involved in professional wrestling, or former members of UDT teams that claim to be Seals even though they weren't integrated into the Seals when they were in the service.

    I was going to disagree, thinking that any professional wrestler's time there would be cut short by steroid use, but trapped on an island with potential roid rage miiight be a bad thing.

    That was my thinking too, but then again... I would already have an army of Luchadores.. Not sure what to do with them. I would probably send them over to take over Micronesia

    Start an organic farm CO-OP... the size of Texas. Make the first step in solving deforestation, hunger, and unhealthy eating all in one swoop. Maybe all the other billionaires would see it as trendy and do so also.

    Before I even collected the winnings, I'd hire a financial planner, a lawyer and a security consultant (too many crazies out there). :embarassed:

    The sweet couple that owns the corner liquor store would probably be able to retire once I got my bar built too. :laugh:

    :embarassed:
