Money can't buy happiness, but it certainly buys a better level of misery.

...go nuts - have a fortnight...good call on the fanny magnet tho!

I think I'd do the same as some others on here, and have several bases.

I don't think one of them would be in Alberta however - Van Island, with my own private plane/pilot/boat would be high on the list.

You gotta be in it to win it though, right?

I thought about taking a pottery class at the community centre but I think that's too extravagant and is just taking the piss.

I'd give $90 million to charity and friends and family and keep $10 million for myself.

That's sweet, but you wouldn't.

The idea of travelling a lot appeals but my kids are still at school, so I'd still need a permanent base somewhere. I'd still move to Canada but I wouldn't be so focused on choosing a place to work with good career prospects. Or maybe I'd consider California instead - I guess any country would be happy to accept you, if you had all that cash to invest.

And I'd but a property over here in the lakes and expensive apartments in London, New York and anywhere I fancied living. Then I'd focus on trying to finish writing this bloody novel, instead of worrying about making cash to live on.

....If I had that kind of money I'd get someone really good, like say, Jeffrey Archer to ghost write it for me and then just stick my name on it.

I actually did win the Lottery this week..........................




























Dont think $62 will take me too far though

Must have been the Notta Lottery!

Well

Firstly I would buy a couple of homes in Canada, Invest some wisely in other properties or bonds. Make sure my nearest and dearest are financially secure. Live off the interest. I would buy a couple of Horses...just for fun.

I would try to do a lot for some causes close to my heart, like a couple of schools and fresh water holes in a couple of deprived areas in Africa. Sponsor some children, seek out and pay anonymously for some life saving / changing operations for some people

Some to Cancer research, some to local childrens charities.

I kinda guess that I would get enormous satisfaction from all of the above, but it would in the bulk be done anonymously....so that I remain to be treated as a normal human being...whatever that may be!

Just Stef....dreaming of a better life for many.
lol

The main down side to this plan

I think the Lottery is a tax on the gullible

Oh, but yes I would. I have absolutely no need for $100million, nobody does.

With 10 mil you could probably live on $600,000 a year and never run out of money.

Needs and wants are different things. You can stick to your stance if you like, cos you know it's never going to be tested; the rest of us will remain cynical.
