if you won a fortune

Well,.....yeah...I did Google. That's where I came up with my earlier figure. I just think it woould be nice if when people using £ would also indicate $USD.

Then those who list prices as $$ should also list in ££. Only fair.

Yes, you did. And if you're not willing to convert, why should anyone else? Are you forgetting there are people using US $, Canadian $, Australian $, British Pound, and also the Euro.
 
Remember no tearing off one anothers clothing...well....I just re-read the rules, it's ok to rip off clothing afterall. *grabbing cam.

There was a TV documentary a while back that profiled multi-million dollar winners and what became of them. A shocking percentage were either dead or broke and homeless after a few years, so in their case "more-more-more" would have only delayed the inevitable.

... but what a way to go, huh? ;)
 
I'd pay off some bills, hire a cook/housekeeper and a lawn service. Next - set my kids and grandchildren up financially. Then I would do something to help sick and underprivileged children worldwide.

Then, if there is any money left, I think some traveling would be in order - either alone or with a willing female companion.
 
Whisteria that is $12.80 Aus, so that would get me a nice takeaway coffee and a seat in a movie theatre for say 90 mins of relaxation.
 
I'd buy a large property with a beautiful spaceous house on it, (I've already got my eye on the place ) and I'd invite any family members with me who want to come while I fulfill my lifelong dream to adopt and foster pets for the SPCA. If I could qualify, I'd be interested in learning how to foster any wild animals in need too.

For myself, I'd get a new car. That's it really.
 
Off topic here. My uncle once bought a lottery ticket as a Thank You to a neighbour for the loan of his tent for a camping holiday. When they started to erect the tent they noticed mould, tears and poles missing. My uncle spent time and money repairing and cleaning it so it was safe to use.

After they returned from the holiday they discovered the lottery ticket had won first prize. In gratitude the neighbour offered my uncle the tent for half price. He graciously declined.
 
I have all I need for the rest of my life and our kids are settled.

I could set up a trust fund for my eldest grand daughter because she is intellectually disabled and looks like never being able to keep a job.

Otherwise I think I'd take a leaf out of Oprah's book and set up a school for bright girls in a third world country. Perhaps PNG or East Timor.
 
I took a cruise in Alaska once and would book cruises for underprivileged and sick children so they could enjoy what I was once fortunate to enjoy...
 
Not only old, there were children on board who had a young lady that kept them entertained with many activities while on the ship, and they would have loved some of trips ashore like the raptor center, for example, too. A cruise just devoted to children, to me, would provide them with a great alternative to Mickey...:cool:
