Id dropout, buy a house, and the necessities, then probably have 59 million left. Thats plenty enough. Invest half.

You\'d win 60 million but with all the taxes you wouldn\'t be sitting back with 59 million.

I\'d just make the lives of my good friends a little bit easier.

EDIT: Nevermind, thought you quoted me.

Point is, I\'ll get educated, get a bachelor\'s in a field I love, do a job I love, and live a normal life with a little security of 60 million dollars behind me.

Yes, you\'re the only one. I\'d quit and for the record, once you start doing a job, it\'s no longer a job you love. Hobbies don\'t become hobbies that you get paid for, for most people. They become JOBS. And jobs suck. You\'ll eventually learn this.

And Bozco is right. I work with a lady who won three hundred and fifty thousand and had to pay one hundred thousand back right off the bat.  Not countig what she will have to pay coming this year durin\' tax time.

Yeah I reread my post and realized how naive it was. However I still would want to go through college for the experience. Dang, imagine college with 60 million dollars of pocket change, that would rock.

Then I graduate and never work.

Now that I\'ll give you. Imagine the chicks you could bang with all that money and the parties..Ah, now that would be life.

Oh and yes you did come off as naive.  You have to take in account a lot of things. Hobbies or fields you love are something you can do at your own lesiure, you don\'t have to do it. Once it becomes a job and you have people over your shoulder, watching you, have bills to pay and have to do it when you don\'t feel like it, well, it becomes a JOB not something you enjoy...not a hobby.

You are all missing the point.  If you have 100 million (or whatever) in the bank, you never have to get a job period.  If I had that kind of bread, I would probably be going to school for the rest of my life.  Nothing is better than learning new things.  I would get degree after degree in all those fields that are totally unprofitable.  I would have several layers of History degrees, a couple of guitar or music theory degrees, and them some stuff in other liberal arts fields like Political Science or Sociology.  I love that stuff.

What\'s this about "get a degree in something you like and then get a job..." screw the job.  Just keep learning.

I\'d stay in school to keep mentally sharp and buy plenty of workout equipment to stay physically sharp.

i\'d quit my job in a heartbeat! no..wait first i would take a massive dump on the servers & terminals & make make sure the turd is a long one so i can swirl it around then put a cherry on top & then i\'d quit!  i\'d invest it wisely real estate, start restauraunt etc..& finally buy a nice house & that late model supra that\'s been evading me all these years!

Yeah whoever says they wouldn\'t quit their job has been brainwashed.  We spend at least 75 percent of our adult life at work and more likely than not, we all hate our jobs.  

I haven\'t been at this job long so I would just quit.  At my last job, I would have tried to get fired by being blatently insubordinate, rude to citizens and sabotaging the data on my computer.  

Work sucks and the whole point of winning money like that is so that you would never have to work again and do whatever the hell you feel like doing.

If I got that kind of money I would probably stay in school just to improve my wits and so on. Psychology classes and so on. Investing is an easy way to make more money too. Then I\'d gloat over people with my superior intellect and my mountain of money for the rest of my life.

Seriously, the easy life is the way for me. None of this working hard crap I hear every day from my teachers and parents.
