If I had a million dollars...

I'd be rich.

Didn't want to bother typing out the whole song, but you get the idea (itf you haven't heard it, it's stuff like "I would buy you a mandsion," and "we could drive to the store every day," occasionally repeating the Line "if I had a milion Dollars, I would..." ending with the line and "...I'd bne rich.")

Anyway, if you won a $100 million lottery, after taxes, what is the first thing you would do after paying off any debts and mortgages you have? I think I would fund a remote-control robot lizard monster, like a 6-foot tall VR-controlled Bahamut or Godzilla. And yeah, don't go and say "I'd give $50 million to charity unless you have a specific charity in mind that you really like to help out but don't have the money. You know whether you would actually give the money to charity, or spend a bunch on yourself and give some of the rest fto charity.

Actually, before the robot I might buy every game system past and present I could get my hands on... Nah, the robot would be first.

(By the way, my charity of choice would be the Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. But only for that fuzzy happy feeling I get from being nice to animals and people who don't happen to be evil.)

I would try to... keep it a secret. Make ANONIMOUS donations to Medical and educational institutes... Buy a bunch of land for my family. Buy a ranch along a river somewhere and hire people to work it with me. Invest in some company, (once the stock Market stops tumbling down) and try to build a complex where i would never have to go to a store, pay bills and use money again...

I would get solar panels and windmills to generate electricity so i wouldn't have to pay for it after the initial cost. I would build a butcher shop, a green house and Fruit/produce garden so that i could grow my own food... or have hirelings do it for me. and those people I have working for me on all this stuff would get their share of the food they grow, free houseing, and of course id pay them out of the profits of anything sold....

My own private self-sustaining utopia.... actually i would work too and hire someone to handle all the payment plans... Im not some overlord... more of a back seat kind of person...

TOL

I would live happily for the rest of my life doing whatever the hell I wanted to do.

More specifically, the first thing you would do (again, aside fro paying off all debts and mortgages).

I'm sticking with the remote-controle VR bahamut mech. (human size or smaller, I'm not an idiot)

At this point, and rather than having to deal with my roommates, as a set, I would buy a condo with soundproofing, an amazing home entertainment system, and a computer fit for the gods.
