Cool

i would pay the rest of what i owe on my house, cars, and credit cards and then put the rest of it in the bank to gain interest. i would definitely consider retiring much earlier than i would without the money.

I'd stick it in a bank and live off the interest. you can live quite well on 100,000$USD a year.

Hate to bust your bubble but you cannot earn 10% interest a year anymore in the U.S. at least. You might get 4 or 5 percent but that is tops. but still 40k to 50k a year is a liveable amount.

-----------------------------
Always remember, you are unique. Just like everyone else.

I would use it all to buy Blizzard stocks..then right after Blizzard announces their sales have gone up 500% from World of WarCraft I'm gonna sell it all and get about 200% profit

I'd put a lot into the car I got right now.
Either that or say the hell with it and buy a Porsche GT2 and spend the rest on insurance... ... for a year! Those limey bastards!

It's funny how far money doesn't go.

Currently, with 2,198 registered users on OTS, if someone where to win a mill, and distribute it evenly to all members, we'd each get a whopping $454.95.

thats still more money then you started with so dont complain.
if someone won a million dollars, why th hell would they distribute it evenly?
God knows i would keep it.
Anyways i would by a really good computer and have the best stuff use that RAID and the best possible video card, ups, that sub woofer(or whatever the hell its called), and all that computer goodness. Then i would put the money in the bank, collect interest and sit back and relax. I wouldnt quit my job (if i had one), because even 1 mil wont last that long.

Just think of the kick-ass LAN parties you could have if you bought all your friends shiny new computers. At your fancy new fully networked house, of course....

A million deep Eh?

Well, first of all...I've already got millions! Oh wait...I'm awake now.

I would take the whole mil and make money with it for about ten years. Then, I would build a summer house in Destin, Florida. It would probably be some kind of castle layout. I've always wanted to be able to say, "...And in the west wing..." Then, since I would be rediculously rich, I would network the entire house and have the highest technology that was out computer-wise in each room of the house. For instance, you could take a dump and be on battle.net at the same time, or have a lan party while taken a bath...capiche? Yep, that would do it for me.

I would put it all in the Bank and have it gain interest.

In 2years I would use the money to pay for college, and give some money to my parents.
