Well once id bought a house and one nice car and the people I loved had gotten what they NEEDED not what they WANT,I would give the rest away,or set up scholarships for African children.
Money is only useful if you are doing something worthwhile with it,otherwise its just nasty bits of paper.
Besides I dont need millions,I can live quite large on £30,000 a year.
I aint asking for nothing,just open the door and i\'ll take it myself-James Brown.

Dunno about beyond my wildest dreams BM... my dreams are pretty wild lol
Also like JB you do the house and family and la la la...
There is so much of the world to see you could never do enough in one lifetime. The upheaval of constantly travelling and not being grounded would grate though. You need roots for your family.
Im not into fancy toys and bling things so that can be left aside. Id probably hire great fight trainers and enter the UFC lol... Id like to say Id spend the time learning and studyingbut hmmm I don't think so.
Idbuild up a lot of thefarms in zims and rebuild some infrastructurebut Id leave myself with enough to live GOOD on without working forever. With that sort of money you could geta small town going nicely, fix up a lot of businesses and so on...

What would you spend that 50 years doing? Lazing around and getting bored? 50 years is a long time to be bored!

I could never get bored, as it is there are many things I need to read which I may not get to in this lifetime.

blktype.....my answer would be simple in comparison to what others would say,but here it goes.
Depending on the amountI won, lets say its 45 million.
first pay off all my debts, make my will. Get an insurance policy.
purchase houses for my sisters and brothers and and pay for more schooling If they wanted.
put half of whats left in an account for my daughter and all the other family members below me. my mother of course too.
Still go to school buton a subject thatI had true genuine love for. Not becauseI knewI could have a secure job when I graduate.
I'd studyhistory of reggae and art learn to play an instrument, or two. Then while I'm learning I'd volunteer my time to teach inner city kids What I have learned, but only if they arealready making decent grades.learn another language... Open the ultimate live reggae (on certain nights)lounge that played strictly reggae old new ska roots rock steady the only kindI would not play is the like techno type music to meit sounds too artificial.
my motivation would be seeing the kids learn and love what they are learning.
There aremorethings I could doblkwriter but those would be my initial main priority.
Hell! I've got 60 healthy years ahead of me. I could afford to procrastinate this time.
