    What would you do if you won $100 million in the lottery?
    I would quit school, buy myself an island, merry the prettiest girl on this planet, and live happily every after.

    I'd purchase a decent home. Nothing too fancy, have my mom quit her job, buy a nice car and some other desirables, put the rest in stocks and the bank.

    After the government takes it's 50% in taxes, I would take flying lessions and buy a small plane. Get a nicer house and nicer truck, donate some to the better aircraft museums, and go see the world via first class. Maybe give some to the relatives, I would have to think some on that !

    Hey VP, I did not understand your post. :confused:

    I'd contact the Guiness Book people to record the miracle someone being the first person to win a lottery without buying a ticket.

    Next, I'd pay off my house, my parent's and in-law's debts and give a good chunk to my church.

    Then I'd be the sorriest human being you ever saw. To use a good Southern phrase, I wouldn't hit a lick at a snake.

    Actually, I'd probably sell my current house and buy a "farm" to raise horses and dogs.

    After a second thought, instead of investing the rest, I'd forcefully purchase the U-505 from the Chicago museum and recomission it... Then I'd dare the Coast Guard to come near me. *Enter evil maniac laugh here*

    I pretty much was going to say the same thing only with a good chunk of change leftover but did not want to risk facing the wrath of the Red Rabbi:D

    The Red Rabbi, he ain't nothing* to fear, him and that multi-lingual, model building, engineer-type he keeps tabs on.

    *Bona fide Southernism for your enjoyment.

    Bribe the Guards at the Bank of England to let me steal all the money there.

    Bribe the government to leave so then I can take over, then make being PC punishable by death. Execute the B of E guards so there is no one knows of my theft.

    Then buy the lottery and fix it so I win the jackpot every 2 years. Abolish the right for free press, and make their owners, 'Disappear'.
    Hire dpp as a bodyguard.

    Buy the Bovington Tiger. Buy some 88mm HE shells. You can work out the rest.

    Oh yes, make myself Commander in Chief of all the Armed forces. Assasinate the President of the USA and replace him with my Brother (I don't have one, but this is a 'What if').

    Shortly after the magical ticket-less winning, and likely recovering from a serious week or two of debauchery, I would be looking for a nice country property where wrecked & burning vehicles in the extensive rolling grounds didn't bother the neighbours.
    There would also need to be some covered hard-standing to park my new Conqueror on.

    And maybe a shiny Demag D7 for the day to day runabout, always felt they had a touch of class.

    Cheers,
    Adam.

    Oh yes, and a bit more.
    I would buy NASA and order them to land the space shuttle on VP and his new Conq....err, I actually meant to say Bin Laden but I was reading your post at the same time and I accidently typed it and, err.......

    I think I better start running.

    I'd make sure my family would'nt have to work anymore just to pay off their homes. Change my phone number and my identity,too.
    Then, tours of war museums and trips to WWII battlefields. I'd get my liscence for full-auto weapons and start shopping.
    Yep, no more drooling watching YouTubes,I'd be smelling the gunpowder.
