$20M?

Call my wife. "Honey, just won $20M. Start packing."
"Oh, that's wonderful! Where are we going?"
"I'm not going anywhere."
(Joke. It's a joke.)

Buy all the girls on my block silver plated six shooters and a quart of the finest highland scotch. (kidding)

OK: Hire lawyer, accountant, nanny, maid, architect, personal trainer. Take the accountant's advice on how to get the money.

Spend $1M on designing and building an estate, and another $1M on the land around it.

Start a microbrewery.

Give two weeks notice and quit my job to "go back to school". Go back to school for 1) Applied Mathematics and 2) Brewing.

I figure, that's a quarter of the total $20M at most. Use another quarter to half on the items I list below, and the rest to make sure I never had to work again.

Charity gets NOTHING (unless my accountant advises they do for tax puroposes, in which case the ACLU and NORML have a new friend), but I will help to fund politicians who try to get a welfare state going.

Pay off all family debts & health insurance for 10 years (consult with accountant on exact amount feasible). Ask favorite aunt if she wants to go to college. Get favorite cousin a nose job if she wants it. (She's drop dead, like Veronika, but has an unfortunate proboscis). Buy best friend's mortgage and pay it off. Track down some folks I owe money to from way back (they have probably forgotten) and pay up with interest and apologies. Explore setting up college funds for friends and family's children.

Nuff for now.
