Damn.

I would firstly have a sickie at work that day.

Then my first purchase would be probably a T3 in mint condition to just stare at. Then a new GT-P to have as daily.
Plenty of houses followed by nice sized term deposits.

Gotta save the charm bud, the mrs would beat me. And not in a way I'd enjoy.

Ended up biting the bullet and got a 24 game quick pick. I wanted to choose my own numbers but I didn't know how to do it >_<

pay off family debts, give them all spending money, buy a ridiculous amount of
cars (some modified to all hell, others left stock), then travel around the globe doing everything and anything whilst waiting for my dream mansion to be built
with an over-sized shed and full facilities to accompany it...

I would never work another day in my life, but would teach myself a new set
of skills; welding, panel-beating etc etc to keep myself busy...

With that much money, I would pay debt, buy a nice house, give money to charity, go on a round world cruise, give family money and put the rest away and allow myself an income of 300k per year. I would also set it up so my kids and their kids always had money to fall back on if ever the need arose.

I would also get the mrs her mazda 6 mps thing, myself a fully optioned GT and a porsche gt3 and M5 for the weekend. Then head to mecum auctions and buy something really special.

Finally I would buy a 50acre block and build runways and heli pads a big shed with toilet, mains power etc and use it for flying all the rc stuff I splurge on. I would also like to open a hobby shop, oh the possibilities hey.

Don't give it to charity, put it is high yield fixed deposit and give the earnings to charity.

10 million is 10 million but 500,000 a year for ever is a LOT more and should there be an issue in the future with the charity you can always change to another.

Naturally, because some people aren't mean't to be financially successful I guess, kinda explains the world???

I'd donate the lot to the ALP so they can throw it all away on looney agenda programs, and cos I'm nuts and have no direction or judgment.
