<p>i would pay hitters to get rid of my stalkers</p>
<p>Is this tax-free?</p>
<p>If so, then here it goes:</p>
<p>-Gulfstream 500 Jet (or private jet of some kind...maybe I'll buy a BBJ...whatever)
-New Car: specifically, fully loaded camry hybrid (I'm a treehugger, don't ask), and maybe a lexus (I sort of have this thing against european cars)
-NYC condo
-$10mil house in the suburbs of New York someplace and suburban Philadelphia
-Donate money to get into Wharton ($10mil should do it)
-Pay for Wharton
-Put the rest in a vault someplace and throw the money up in the air and be really happy (I always wanted to do this)
-Build a luxury condo someplace...Phoenix, Arizona sounds good. Skyrocketing property values, cheap, etc etc
-Hire an army of staff to do things for me
-Oh, and a vineyard in France (Champagne region; since they make champagne there)</p>
<p>That should cover $100-$150mil. As for the rest, put it in short term treasury bonds and live off of the interest.</p>
<p>I was assuming that would the residue after taxes were collected.
tommeistar, I like to read; but I pick famous or controversial books only. But sometimes I make room for a mystery novel or two.</p>

$1,000,000 it is then. Perhaps I should get a scanning electron microscope while I'm at it..

MRFM is way better; at least in perspective :)</p>
<p>On-topic: I'd invest everything in stocks and think -- probably mostly charity, I cannot think of an idea to spend more than $1,000,000 right now.</p>
<p>buy Africa with the rest. :D</p>

yikes ... ask the old geezer parents about this one ... to pay for a home, college for multiple kids, and a non-working retirement takes easily $2+M.</p>
<p>I would make a public event where I would burn $10M in cash. And be evil.</p>
<p>I dunno. Go to Starbucks.</p>
<p>Make my own country</p>
<p>"I would make a public event where I would burn $10M in cash. And be evil."
lol</p>
<p>yea dude, eternal summer vacation, and when i get bored, take classes somewhere to learn. basically learn the rest of my life, fix things i dont like in the world, raise overpopulation awareness (one of the biggest and most unspoken future problems)</p>
<p>I'd put it in a bank. With interest that 876 million soon will become 876 billion ;)</p>
<p>This thread is fun....</p>
<p>I would...</p>
<p>pay the taxes on the money</p>
<p>pay my debts as well as the debts of everyone in my family</p>
<p>buy a car with a 24 hour driving service, because- why drive when you can ride?</p>
<p>buy a 12 bedroom house for my whole family and my cats</p>
<p>pay to finish the rest of my schooling in cash and have a live in tutor during the duration of the time spent studying</p>
<p>donate money to the red cross</p>
<p>pay one of those classes for one full year of gre prep classes</p>
<p>and then, later on, pay a University to go to grad school and for a phd in one lump sum. because I would never have to fill out the fafsa again, people! </p>
<p>then i would live rent free in my nice house and just live a totally normal life</p>
<p>you just reminded me! The first thing I'm going to get is a full time driver and a limo. Those taxi drivers always fight over the fare..it ****es me off so much.</p>
<p>haha alot of u guys said quit school, but have you ever thought of BUYING school instead...HAHAHAH</p>
<p>-Buy as much gold as possible so I'm safe (relatively) when the economy collapses.
-Get the most exquisite La-Z-Boy recliner available; when the **** hits the fan, I want to be comfortable.</p>
<p>The price of gold might go down at any time. :)</p>
<p>I would sniff it :D</p>
<p>I'd in invest it in mutual bonds and live off the 6% interest. Thats foughly 5.2 million every 3 months. that's an easy income. soon the bonds will add another zero to the original capital :)</p>
<p>I'd go and travel the world and then come back and write a book about my life after the lottery.</p>
<p>Oh and the whole charity organization too lol.</p>
<p>I'd use it too:</p>
<p>Pay off College/Law School
Buy an Apartment in NYC
Buy lots of frozen land in Canada/Greenland so I can feel like a huge feudal lord
Found a university named after myself (WOOT)
Invest it in Nigeria so I can destroy their country's economy w/ inflation</p>
<p>Basically, yea</p>
