I heard if you put 1 mil in a savings account, you get a much higher interest rate, like 10%.  So I would put it in the bank and live off the interest.

I would go and get all my best friends and round up my family and go to my house and just spend time together.  have a giant dinner and just enjoy the last few moments of life with the people who never turned their back on me.  i would also go skinnydipping and give my kitten a big hug.

I would spend as much time with my family and friends (in that order) as I could.  I would take a lot of day trips with my family.  Make sure my dog would be loved and cared for when I was gone.   Make sure all my death details (cremation, disposal of ashes, funeral, bills, etc) were taken care of so my family would not have to worry about it.  I would sell my car and give the money to St. Jude's Children's Hospital.  I would make sure I told everyone I love that I do love them.  I would draw a lot of pictures, do a lot of crafts and write a lot of poems for my family to remember me by.  I would make certain that my ashes were late for the funeral so I can say in the afterlife that I really was late for my own funeral (after being on time for everything else) (yes I really do intend to do that).  I would have a really big party with all of my friends and family.  When the day came, I would have my family (including the dog) around, remember the good times, and leave this life in comfortable familiar surroundings at home, surrounded by those I love most.

You can *not* do anything you want, but you are free to *aim* for it!\n\nSet yourself three or four goals, things to achieve in five, ten, twenty years. Reasonable goals. Not easy ones, but one that you might be able to achieve, give or take a little luck. \n\nWrite them up and regularly take stock how far you have come, what needs improved.\n\nOne of my goals was to own my own house.   Paid off and all.\nDone!

the right thing to do is to go to the authorities but to be honest with you i would keep it and pay off my debts and put a down payment on a house.\n\n     of course i have to do it in a smart way coz people would wonder where did i get the money from.

First, I'd pay off my debts.  All of them.  Then I'd pay a few things several months and/or years in advance, because I'd like to avoid being another 20 grand in the hole, if you don't mind.  \nThen I'd buy myself a home and a car, and shoot some cash to my parents for putting up with me & my BS for so many years.\nNext, maybe I'd seek out some of my friends who need some help.....more morally than monetary, and help them do the same things I'd just done for myself.  And set up some college/trust funds for their kids.\nMaybe I could find some good organizations to donate some money & some time....like Habitat for Humanity or something.  Maybe get in the school board's face around here, and tell them I'll do a little something with their budget, but in return they have to step up their curriculum & stop graduating idiots (I heard our schools are like 49th in the nation - HELLO).  Maybe I'd travel the country & speak in schools about my lifestyle & where it got me (I'm a bad, bad girl).\nAnd somewhere in there I'd go do some crazy shopping & spa-type things, with a health club membership b/c I'm fat & lazy & that's gotta go.  And put my own self through college to get a few degrees that might be worth something  :-)

i'd buy a few small houses for my family, hybrid cars for my family as well since most of us dont have cars that freak'n run right half the time, if i won a ton i'd give away ton of it to help out other people... particularly women in africa and other desprite regions of the world.  i'd go to school pretty much the rest of my life and travel on my time off and maybe even do a med school thing and join doctors with out boarders since i'd have the time and money to do med school with out the pressure of having time to affoard to live the rest of my life.

First of all buy a new flat or house with more room. then I'd buy the flat I'm renting now so that hubby has somewhere to live.....!\nOnce settled, I'd go to the nearest Aston Martin showroom and buy me a DB9.\nI'd let my kids have a day in Hamleys toyshop to buy absolutely anything they wanted (apart from the thirty foot giraffe in the cuddly toy section. Where the hell would they put it?).\nI'd make sure my family were all furnished with enough money to cover everything for the rest of their lives.\nFinally I would make large donations to Great Ormond Street hospital, Leeds Air Ambulance and my childrens school.

I would begin by donating money to my church.  then i would pay off my house and all my bills.  i would then put part of the money back for a college fund for my daughter, my neice and a couple of their close friends who might not get to go otherwise.  i would put some in the bank for retirement, then i would open up a childrens home. it would have everything a child could ever want.  they could live there until they graduated from college or got a job to be able to support themselves. they would always be welcome back even after they have grown, just like in a real home.  and of course, i would probably quit my job so i could be there 24 7.  i would hire people to teach them about different life skills and try to be the family they never had.  but i dont think i would need quite that much money to do that.  so... girl scouts and boy scouts and the salvation army and other places like that would probably get a chunk of the money too.

Clean the house, rent video games, take a long walk, drive to a random location and camp out, learn a new hobby, watch television, play on the internet, call random people and ask if their fridge is running and (if they say it is) tell them to go catch it - laugh hysterically before hanging up, or take a nice long nap like I wish I was taking right now.

It depends on how much- if it's just a little, I would spend it on books or Bath & Body Works.  If it's more than a little, I would go to Europe.  If it's a lot, I would pay off my bills, my family's bills, and get the hell out of Dodge!

I would spend it with my family,at home.We would probably spend most of the time reminiscing about all the good times in our lives.\nNot very creative but that's what I'd do.Family is the most important thing in the world to me.

Sell everything that you own.  Hopefully that comes out to $100,000.

What would you do with your life if you didn't need the money? That's what you should do.
