As soon as the money hit the bank I'd go to Best Buy to get a new MacBook Pro and then once on it I'd order the components to a new desktop PC, go on eBay Motors and buy the custom truck I've been eying and then proceed to go out and pick up other little items (and yes of course a new home but that will take some time).

Thanks weshar! Yeah I've seen that crossover wagon, a real eye catcher. You should get one for yourself, and one for the Mrs.

when you score the MM this Friday! Anybody win 2-nite? If not should be well over $300 million for this Friday

Lot of work to, black shows every little mark or smudge. Always worth it end the end, shines like a mirror.

Tried taking some pic's of my Benz with an older Samsung Digimax. Pic's came out great, but when I tried uploading to post

the pictures, takes up the entire message reply box. Needs to be cropped or reduced in size, couldn't figure out how to do.

I would get out of debt first then buy my mother, sister and husband new vehicles. I set a limit at $50,000 for each vehicle. Then I would like to travel to hawaii never been there and my friend was born there. Take a trip around the islands and see the sights would be fun. I would also like to see the grand canyon in person and crater lake here in Oregon. Just the ablity to travel would be enjoyable and be able to take your time with it.-weshar75

Not much in the first few years: Finish the mortgage on the current house, have a housekeeper come by once a week, get massages once a week, and sit on the rest for a year or so while trying to figure it all out.

My wife says she would get a degree in Non profit management.

I'd buy two cars, an SUV for winter and a two-door/coup that I can drive during the summer.

After that, then I'd figure out how much I'd want to give to my family and friends. I'd buy my sister a house and set up a college fund/trust for my nieces and nephews.
