invest it and make my family comfortable, give to charity, maybe take some time off and try to write a book or something.



For charity we already know we would give to Make-a-Wish and St. Jude's.



I wonder how much screaming there would be if I gave it all to the ACLU.



I am sure the ACLU would do plenty of screaming for whatever your cause was for that kind of money.

I would pay off my debts. Give some to friends and family. Invest. Buy a house, car, beagle, etc. Donate a few million to charities and organizations that I support.

I would also have a room devoted to music with the most outlandish tube amplifiers money could buy.

If anyone from ACF wins they need to have an ACF party and fly everyone out.

I'd probably give a lot of it away to people I knew. So basically I would donate a lot to VN board people. Also give a great deal to my family and donate some to charity. I would probably only need around 5-10 million at most for spending. The rest would go to my estate

I doubt I'd stop working for long though. Probably party it up for a couple of years or something. Doing nothing but consuming sounds like a pretty pathetic and sad life to me

Yeah, I'd hook up people I know too, but they would all have to understand it was only a once in a lifetime hookup. After it's gone it is gone. Same with my kids and grandkids except it would be in a trust so they would get different lumps because I would expect them to be stupid out of the gate but another lump would come later so they could get their heads straight.

I would set up a trust fund with the stipulation that they (kids.. grand kids..) receive the money only if theyre going to school and passing their classes..
