    Okay, specifically though:

    ~ Pay off University fee's, including masters degree
    ~ Set up a charity
    ~ Move out of my hometown and take my family with me
    ~ Buy my dad the motorhome he's always wanted
    ~ Take me and my sister shopping in London
    ~ Round the world trip with my family and friends
    ~ Send my mum and dad on a cruise
    ~ Renovate an abandoned property from scratch and move in
    ~ Purchase a small bookstore
    ~ Help my parents open a bed and breakfast in the country

    So basically, repay me family for everything they've done for me :)

    I would immediately move to Islamorada, open my bar/restaurant, pay off my car, buy a scarab, hire a full time trainer and chef, and proceed to spend the rest of my life in paradise.

    I would open the largest large parrot sanctuary in the US.

    I would give some to my kids.

    I would pay off all debt on our new business.

    I would probably sell our house and move us to a house with more land/space.

    This isn't as difficult as it seems:

    #1 - hire a financial attorney
    #2 - set up trust funds
    #3 - get security for when I go get the money
    #4 - go get the money with my financial attorney and other important people

    when the dust had settled and the money is secure/invested:

    - move
    - buy a small 1,500 sq foot house
    - live debt free (which means paying off bills that I owe...not much)
    - purchase a new set of golf clubs
    - join a country club (so I can play golf regularly)

    then, after I've done all that...

    Whatever the hell I want! Travel, sports, electronics...whatever!

    Move/Hide is exactly what I'd do. I couldn't work in the education field any longer as the lawsuits would come rapidly. I'd just get away and make sure I keep to myself most of the time. Everyone would be crying for money here and there. Nope...I will become incognito.

    Ok so I am planning on winning the Euro lottery so have plenty to play with :laugh:

    Make sure my family had no money worries

    Give my boss enough to leave his job .. he is a great guy and doesn't need the stress.

    Buy a fabulous house on the Outer Banks of NC

    Buy a second house with room for a runway

    Buy my old plane back because I miss him

    Give a good wedge of cash to Help for Heroes as the UK does not treat its military veterans very well :grumble:

    Restore lots of vintage planes so I can give free flights to people who might never get the chance otherwise :bigsmile:

    Depends on how much?

    More than I could ever spend? That's not right so I would set up all my favorite people with cars or houses.

    Big family vacation including extended family (reunion on a private boat sailing through Greece?) for sure.

    Less $ I would start with a little vaca, move home to SF and buy a house. Start a business and pay for my son's college + fertility treatments for a new little :)
