  Would move my parents, sister's family, brother's family, and my brother's ex's family(have to do this so my niece could move, plus we get along very well, so it's no big deal) to probably Folly Beach. That's probably about 20 million. I'd give each of them 5 million, and begin Trust Funds for my 3 nieces and nephew. I'd give away about 20 million to various friends and family, and another 20 million for charitable donations. The other 65 mill would be for me to travel and do whatever the hell I wanted.

  And pay for the lessons to learn how to use it.

  Lol..this would totally be me. I'd use the money for barely anything other than being the biggest millionaire asshole ever.
  
  Which might mean I'd need to put a hit out on Trump...because no one compares to him and he's had so much practice at being a millionaire asshole that it'd be impossible to catch up.

  Yup, first thing I'd do, buy every single ticket to every Reds game so Justin couldn't go.

  That's odd..... I would think that the 1th thing you would do was purchase a thousand IPad 4's.

  I have seriously put thought into this.
  
  I would invest in my small hometown (Washington Court House). The place literally has a Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Dakota's Steakhouse and a bunch of fast food places. Lame. The South end of town is prime for expansion, and that's exactly what I would do. I would purchase franchises (BW3s, movie theater, among other things) and build them in town. But before I did that, I help a friend of mind start his construction company (he's about 2 quarters away from graduating with a degree in construction management). So basically I would be part owner of the construction company that would be building my new businesses. Low risk, high reward. Starting a small business is a horrible idea, but selling a brand name that is already established is easy, just ask Peyton "Papa Johns" Manning. You'd have income and it would help my town. I would probably end up corrupt as fuck, running a cocaine cartel out of Washington Court House. Fuck it.

  Donate 10% to the church. Or burn 10% of it. Both are equally useless.
  
  The rest, well that's good money. So nothing. I would live the same as i do now. Just wouldn't work.

  I'd buy a mini giraffe.

  Pray tell how starting a company in a town that smart money has decided not to invest in would be "low risk, high reward"?

  I'd spend a good chunk on property. I think 3 would be a good number, Chicago or NY, a place on the beach, and maybe international (could take care of the beach). Places I'd like to spend at least 2-3 months at. I'd pay for a view and location, but wouldn't need the massive 6,000-10,000sqft mansions many of these places are. Be fun to shop, though.
  
  The property would always be the nest egg, too. Even at a loss, if your investments got destroyed and inflation destroyed your savings you still have hard assets worth plenty.
  
  Oh, and buy some land in the mountains out west. Build my doomsday shelter and spend my free time preparing for the zombie apocalypse.

  If you win, can I be your monkey?
  
  (edit) I'd get one of these.
  
  
  
  and one of these if/when they become available.

  I might build a kick ass movie theatre and then not let anyone else in. It would show whatever the hell I'm in the mood to watch and the concessions would be free. Hell they would bring the concessions to me in my seat.

  If he was high enough he might not even notice you weren't a monkey.

  You're doing it wrong. You build and open your own strip club and then not let anyone else in.

  Lol, I'm not sure I'd want to own a strip club. If I were going that far I'd build my own brothel.
