Wait until HST, see how it affects the current markets around here. Then invest accordingly. Probably in properties and housing. Also get a F40.

I would not work again but I would go back to school, probably forever. Just a couple classes at a time so I'd have lots of free time for doing other shit I enjoy.

buy three houses <1m each.
buy a lexus hybrid for the mom and dad , and an acura hybrid for myself
20% to the church
split the rest 25/25/25/25 for micro loans/ equity/ investing /savings in bank.
I'd personally visit SG! and offer him to pay the half the server fees till he retires-- on one condition that he gets a better RS homepage.

Aside from the usual debt servicing and family obligations, I'd probably go back to school and do a Masters of some sort, followed by a PhD thesis at some well-known school outside of the country. I would probably fix my current shoebox up and possibly acquire some storage space so I could purchase a few used cars that I've always wanted to own that I can't currently afford.

Upon my return from travelling and studying abroad, I would also probably do some side work/projects and possibly a customer-service type of job on a casual basis to keep myself somewhat grounded in reality.

And of course, I'd collect my 3-4% on conversative investments and use a small portion on high-risk stuff just for some variety.

4. Open hotels in vegas or a tourist populated place.
5. Go into my office at the hotel, sip on 1000000000000000 year old whisky, smoke a cuban and get a bj from a playboy bunny, while watching the numbers on my bank account go up and up and up.
The Bellagio fountains alone cost $78 million to make and their opening ceremony cost around $90 million.

I'd take it slow...

- buy a house for a few mill, upper class neighbourhood, but not in snobby west van.

- 2010 LP640 coupe with twin turbo (1000hp) daily driver.
- Mercedes CLK-GTR weekend car

and invest most of it

it might be, but it might pay off.. it really depends on what business options are out there...

Real Estate is one of the big ones that i would most likely look into.. not the small time buying houses.. but buying the land itself and build condos/apartments and houses..

Just bank it and you will be making 2+ mill a year.

if i won. . .
1) Buy a mid sized house (<2000 sq ft) is enough for me, but make it so I have a 6 car garage
2) Buy 6 cars (Murci, 360 CS, Exige, E30 M3, E90 M3 Sedan, DBS)
3) Get married
4) Live life, travel, track my cars with my wife
5) buy a mid sized house beside my own house, for my mom to mahjong it up all week long
