    really not a ton a money when you think about it... couldn't do anything as obscene as the house in "blank check" or anything

    I'd probably spend $50,000 on a car and $500,000 on a house or condo... use the last $100,000 on traveling

    maybe donate some... but probably not :oops:

    Finish the renovations on my house, put some away for travel, buy myself some shoes :mrgreen: and bank the rest. After the shoes I would imagine I wouldn't have much left :oops:

    Pay off mortgage and quit my job so I have a cushion of money while I look for a new one - that I actually will like.

    Then take a little and buy a really fast bike, like an Specialized Roubaix or Tarmac from the S-Works line. Invest whatever is left; maybe some travel.

    I've always said I would do that too, if I ever won a large sum of money, give half to charity - specifically The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation - I have a niece and nephew with CF, so it would make me very happy to be able to throw a decent amount of money to that particular foundation.

    Buy a house by the lake or ocean and book PJ to play a private party ;)

    Help family (god knows they need it!! :lol: )

    charity

    That's not that much money these days. I'd pay off the house, give a bunch to charity and invest the rest.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
  • justamjustam Posts: 21,408
    I'd put it in the bank and use the interest as extra money to do fun stuff every year from then on. :)
