You Just Won The Lottery!!! What Would You Do?

Let's say... $45,000,000... what will you do with the winnings?

Seriously... what would you do?

Inquiring minds and all... mr.green

Wow, $45,000,000 is a lot of money that I would love to win!

First thing I would do is quit working forever (no more bosses), move out of my apartment-style condo and buy a nice house with beautiful trees all around.
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

send ben a donation to cover the costs of running this site (afraid 99% of the users of this site don't know)...

sign up to be a member of the npgmc (since at that point i'd no longer worry about whether i was getting my money's worth or not... lol)

get tix for all of meshell's summer tour so i'd finally have something to update freemyheart.com with beside fake prince stories and daily mp3 downloads. pay her son's tuition through college...

pay off my sister's debts.

pay off what my mom still owes on her condo. try to convince her to move back to the northwest by buying that house that she always drooled at when we drove by it as a kid.

pay off anything my dad owes.

pay off my debts, as small as they are.

put the rest in the bank and live off the interest.

ooh... after i bought a few hundred dvds that i want that i can't afford right now (mostly criterion)...

oh, and i'd call a few people from the past and let them know about my winnings.

lastly, i'd wonder how i won the lottery since i never buy tickets.

change it to £27,059,400 (the commission on that would be impressive)

give parents £5,000,000, brother and sister £2,500,000 each.

give £1,000,000 each to Amnesty International, Warchild and Cancer Research

£14m left...convince my family to move to australia...play golf...die

Pay off student loans
Pay off computer (less than $500)
Pay off house and buy another one that is larger...in cash, no mortgage.
Get new wheels for my van...maybe even get a new van!
Maybe, buy a Sebring...I love that car.
Send Mom and Dad on a cruise.
Pay back a friend who helped.
Give money to a charity that supports abandoned children.

Hopefully, there will still be some money left over to enjoy an early retirement.

Not tell anyone and arange a wicked gig in a nice hall. I'd pay for big stars to preform in it, then I'd send invitations to everyone I know (people I love and hate).

When they arive I'll walk on amonst Garry Moore, Maceo Paker, a crate lode of sexy lady actresses and anounce that I was rich and intended on gloating.

First track I'd preform would be High Fassion, and as I preform it my RollsRoyce limo custom painted black will be unvealed on the stage, the during Darling Nikki I'd masturbate on it.

Throw a big party.
Donate to some charities, most likely HIV/AIDS related and Planned Parenthood.
Give a million each to my parents, brother, nieces (trust funds for them), and several of my best friends.
Travel extensively.
Start my own business, like a magazine or night club or fashion line or something.
