1) Call my lawyer
2) Call my CPA
3) Have lawyer form a blind trust that will collect and hold my winnings for me.


If the first 3 art assumed, and you meant how would I spend it.

1) Pay off few remaining bills
2) Couple of new cars for the wife and myself
3) Invest the rest and live off the interest.

Spoken like a good republican...then you'd bitch about all the homeless in your area...
I'd setup a can and aluminum recycling center in another part of town. This should attract them there.

Hire a CPA, pay off parents houses and cars and bills.
Buy a new house/car/bike for myself

Put 50M into one account at the bank, live off the interest
Put the rest into some bonds or stock I guess.

1. Accept the fact that I will never actually get 100M.

2. Accept the fact that nobody else will care and still want to be my friend.

3. Hire a financial advisor. (Something I promised myself I would do if I ever came into a lot of money.)

1. Keep a portion aside for myself and my business, maybe 1-2 million here?
2. Make a trust with a very large portion of the money with specific guidelines on how it can be used and what for.
3. Tell my direct family members about this after the trust has been formed and give them access to their own share of money

Put, say, 20M in reasonably secure investments, to make me comfortable and financially independent during any hard periods in my life.

Allocate the rest of it to the cause of Free Software, as wisely as possible.

I nominate you for MOST BORING EXPENDITURE OF $100 MILLION!


1) Buy my parents a house and give them several million each.
2) Buy a house in downtown Austin.
3) Buy a cargo ship and have it converted to an expedition yacht.

I know you said 3, but fvck it.

1. Pay off my parents debt.

2. Pay off my sisters' homes for them (unless their husbands or them vehemently refused).

3. Tell my mom to quit her job (same with my dad, if he wants to).

--And the rest...

New cars for anyone in the family who wants one.

I'd buy a nice big piece of land out in the country (100+acres) and build a sweet estate. A nice,nice garage and separate workshop would be included with all brand new woodworking/metalworking tools.

The garage would be filled with many cars (classics and new cars), and I'd fund the complete restoration of the Morgan Plus4 that my dad bought earlier this year.

I'd also travel everywhere I have ever wanted to go..but not on a personal jet. I'd probably just fly first class or coach.

And of course I would do the whole charity bit....also I'd secure/invest a large portion of the money.

1) pay off anything that my parents stressed over that involved money. (this goes hand in hand with giving them whatever finances they needed to make their dreams a reality)

2) visit all my loved ones and take care of them to a lesser degree than my parents.

3) ****** every woman I ever fantasized about and brag about it till I die.

IN reality:
1) Purchase home/Condo, car...all the goodies
2)Create "Don't bother me" trust for all immediate family ($100K and a median priced home for the market they live in an revocable trust for each couple; with me as sole trustee, with general power, among other things...basically, if they bother me for more money, I recall the trust back into my estate...be happy with your house and $100K "hush money")
3) Probably finish law school, try to keep the lottery thing on the down low...

Worst ideas ever!

1. Quit my job, but not just quit, go out in a blaze of glory
2. Pay of all my debt and my families debt, and give my friends a nice chunk of change
3. Buy a house on the beach and surf all day for the rest of my life.
