    Hmmmm, I think I would do alot of things. I would hire a personal chef to make me healthy and delicious food.

    I would open a boutique style thrift store and run it and have awesome fun people to work there and help people pick out cute clothes.

    I would open a gym and have the weights be pink and purple with Classic Rock as the music, I can't stand listening to the crap my gym plays! And there would be a cafe area with healthy foods and smoothies, etc.

    My cat would get the best cat condo ever, it would be amazing.

    I would start taking many, many trips to Europe.

    I would buy real estate in several locations around the world.

    I would get a really nice car with way too many features.

    Then, I would anonomously give people I thought were deserving money if they were about to forclose on their home, etc

    Oh! I would also start some youth programs in Chicago and help kids go to college

    I'd buy up land and property and gold like nobody's business....then buy a hostile in Costa Rica, and "retire" while making money from industrial and residential properties as well as from tourists who frequent my hostile. Ahhh..one can only dream!!!

    I don't have time to buy tickets so I'm just going to set fire to a twenty dollar bill instead.

    It's easy. I will get a couple of houses, a couple of exotic cars, put $50 million in the bank, and give the rest away.

    Quit my job, travel the world, blow a crapload of cash on whatever the hell I want, invest some wisely and (most importantly) laud it over my kids and threaten to take away their inheritance every time they misbehaved.


    mwahahahaha!

    I'd give 10 percent to my church, then divide the rest between me, my son, my daughter and her family and my three sisters. With my share, I'd paid all my bills off and buy a couple houses (one in Washington State where my daughter lives and another in Illinois or Missouri where my sisters live) then I'd I'd make sure my grandkids went to a Christian school and I'd help homeless people.

    1) Set up college Funds for family members and those who have treated me well before
    2) Ask my parents what they always wanted to do in life and make it happen
    3) Give $ to save puppies and kitties
    4) Pay off all my bills
    5) Ridiculous insane party trip, maybe rent a cruise ship and go around the world\
    6) Spend at a considerable amount making everyone who treated me like garbage miserable!!!!

    Hmmm. Sheesh. I would pay of my student loans, my home, my car, build a new home- bigger and better (but not too big) buy a home for my sister and her family, pay off my parent's home, pay of my youngest sister's student loans, take a few trips, set aside a few bucks to savings, give a good chunk to our church and divide the rest into several charities such as Samaritan's purse, Mercy Ship, our local Union Gospel Mission. Heck I can't take any of that money with me when I die.

    Travel travel travel and stay in the best resorts/hotels and do everything I want to do wherever I am…pay for all the family college tuitions…buy a new house on the water with a dock and a boat. Live without worry. I'd like that.
    I'd also give a lot to non-profits and family who need it.

    First, I would go into work the next day. Telling everyone to kiss my a** over the phone wouldn't be any fun.

    Second, do some mechanical fixes on my clunker. I would leave the outside all beat up. When you are poor like me, a clunker is sad. When you are rich, it is eccentric!

    I'd buy the letter "s" from the alphabet and charge everyone 2 cents to use it but would consider a one time lifetime payment that has yet to be determined , I'd help the economy by buying my fitness pal and delete all the dudes on the site and pay all the ladies 1 cent for every provocative comment they left on my profile (what can I say I'm a giver). I'd buy off congress and create a law that states while serving jury duty there must be live entertainment of some sorts to include but not limited to magic shows, live bands that compliments the jury duty stations demo graphical area, and free WiFi access to those of us with smart phones. Id create a new NASCAR style vehicle center. The concept is simple,you go online order what tires you need, oil change, etc etc once all the parts are in they call you to bring in your car. Once you arrive there is zero wait and there's an entire pit crew there who wave you in and all your services are done in less than 30 seconds you never even have time to leave your car just like in NASCAR. I wouldn't payback my tuition instead I'd buy the college I attended and keep sending myself delinquent tuition notices then throw them away when I received them because they don't scare me. I wouldn't be greedy, Id send my family some money at least enough for them to buy their own lottery ticket (good luck). I'd buy a hairless cat and get it a couple of rounds of rogaine treatments but only on the top of its body because they are fair skinned and need some protection from the sun. Id astro turf my front yard but still hire a lawn crew to come mow it with those old time push reel spinner lawn mowers and sit in my remote controlled lazy boy lawn chair (yes I'm going to invent that too) and keep saying "you missed a spot" Other than that I'd probably just blow the rest of it.
