I would die happily in my Lamborghini at high speed surrounded by pepperoni pizzas and women of easy virtue ...

and a bottle of ******
Pepperoni pizzas have the same effect on me and are a bit more "stealthy".

Oh easy! Million bucks? Pay off my kids mortgages, $200,000.00 to be divided between the grandkids for education, give our old (but cozy) rental houses to the tenants because they're good folks and try hard and everyone needs a break now and again or at least once in their lives and then relax and carry on until the end while I comfortably support the Hug-a-Bull and WAGS animal shelters in Whistler with a donation and every year, give a child or two a smile through Operation Smile! Love it! Somebody shower me with a million bucks or if you don't have the cash on you, send me a winning ticket!

Oh there's lots I would do with it if indeed it was a fortune . I suppose a fortune differs to everyone..one man's fortunae is another man's annual earnings, but I get the idea...so if I suddenly won a fortune,..I would buy a couple of houses in a beautiful holiday area to rent out..then I would ensure my daughter was financially secure. ( which currently thank God she is)
New Cars? *meh* I'm not a car snob so I'd just upgrade to something a little newer but nothing ostentatious..but then as soon as I ensured I had enough to live on comfortably for the rest of my life..the rest would be given to deserving causes ( I'm being serious here)..I'm not greedy..

I like Merlin's idea. For those who would come, I would pay for all their expenses WHEREVER they now live.

My one fear in life would be to go blind,
So i'd give the team of americans who are spending their own time going around africa doing eye cataract surgery to as many people both young and old as they can in a short time,
I think i read it was 6 weeks of non stop opps,
I'd really like to make it worth their time to carryon as long as the money was keeping it all going,
I really mean this, Give them sight and let them see the sky, the trees, and loved ones.
Ive enough in life and i like the simple life anyway.

Booze and wild women. Oh wait.......I'm already doing that.
The couple in Largs which isn't too far from us won £160 million. No tax.
If we won an amount like that couple did I'd give to my family and a few friends. We'd always fly first class instead of cattle and we'd travel even more than we do now.
We do need a new car and a new roof and it would be nice to have a conservatory and a paved driveway instead of gravel. We wouldn't move.
Then we would spend a lot to help people in Uganda, especially supporting students who wouldn't get to university otherwise. Most of the money we'd designate as charity would be spent in Uganda.

So that's $222,600,000 in US dollars?
At the current rate about $244 million but when they won in 2011 it was more like $256 million.
And this was Euromillions lottery, not just the UK lottery.

St. Jude's Children's Hospital, then whatever strikes my fancy!
Google. I use Oanda to calculate exchange rates.
