Silence! I Keel you!
On the poor country's.....give it all to charity wouldn't know what to do with it, the rest buy a house.
I bet there are people here with evil plans though....with that kind of money...
What would you do with it, N4H..?

Give plenty to everyone in my family. Give some to my friends.
Buy a house somewhere nice.
Pay off my debt. And my boyfreinds. And my familys.
Spend some on random stuff that I want, just cos I can. Like DVDs and stuff.
Then save it til I find a use for it. Which Im guessing would take about 30 seconds 🙂

Having spent my entire life as a very practiced poor man, I really wouldn't know how to act if I got my mitts on that kind of money. 😛
No doubt I'd certainly take care of all incurred debts so that the 'ole credit rating comes back from it's coma.
Then I'd get that house my mom always wanted, and of course a nice big one for me and my lovely pseudo wife. After that I have no idea. Lol. It would be fun thinking of stuff, though.
Oooh, ooh, wait....I want a classic 1968 Mustang like the one Steve McQueen drove in the movie "Bullitt" Yep, that would be cool.....oh, and the tricked out muscle car from the first "Phantasm" movie (the model name of the vehicle always escapes me), and a nice convertible or two for the girlfriend. Oooh, ooh, and I want the Batmobile from the '60's show!! 😛😛
Ok...NOW I'm out of ideas.
Now, having been raised poor, I'd certainly like to be able to give money to help needy families, as I've been there and I know the hardship. My only problem with that is that I don't trust charity organizations at ALL. The monies collected never go to where they are supposed to be going. If I could have assurances that the money I give will definitely find it's way to people that are in need of it, instead of lining some low life suit's pockets, then they can certainly have some of my loot.

Yeah...30 mil...I think BBers would be getting airline tickets in the mail...I'd love to book out Little Cayman (in the British West Indies) for a week and have a REAL BB convention. All you minors would have to be accompanied by adults though...Heck, some of you adults would need to be accompanied by an adult...😉
Other than that, the usual...cars, house, investments to keep the money rolling in. Then I'd buy an MRI machine and donate it and the money to pay a technician to the local children's hospital...and stipulate that the money would be ONLY for that. Any misuse would result in revoking of funds. Keep 'em honest as much as you can! MRIs and techs are in very short supply here in the City Fun Forgot, so this would be awesome for kids who needed them...it's a 6 month wait right now, and that's for serious cases! What a mess...

Wouldn't that be great! 30 million dollars huh?
I'd have to agree with paying off the debt (Student loans come to mind). Then I'd buy a house for myself and my parents. Then I think I would buy my close family one thing that they really want. I'd buy my sister a horse, my fiance his Xbox 360.....
After that, I'm not really sure. I'd probably donate some to my school so that we could have nice things.
Oh, and I guess investing some of it would work too. Make more money.

Aha, investing! Never occurred to me. Put me down for that as well. I'd have those nice people at TD Waterhouse workin' overtime.

$30million. hmmmmm.
Fisrt I'd convert it to sterling pounds! Then I'd get spending. AND saving. seriously I think I could probably spend $10million on aload of ridiculus things that a 16 year old really doesnt need but it would be uber cool to have. The remaining $20million I would put in some savings account, or perhaps invest in some businesses. Any interest I would get I would give to a charity. (can't you do that somehow? make an agreement with the bank or something . 'I heard something the other day) So the list!:
A mansion. somewhere in the countryside. tennis court. swimming pool. double garage. yu get the idea.
A car. (and some lessons!) I'd buy the angelmobile! oh yes! Or if they're out of those perhaps a mercedes. Or a mini convertable. Some say they're a womens car, I think they're cool!
I'd travel. After my A levels of course. Switzerland, Japan, America, Spain, Italy, Greece, Australia, Canada, China, all being top of my list.
I'd probably buy property in the places I liked the most.
I'd fund myself through university.
I'd buy a decent pc. broadband. (yes....I still have dial up 🙁
A high def tv
DVD's! (Buffy, angel, tru calling, sliders, futurama, the simpsons, friends, and every film thats good)
A Ps3 and games (when it comes out)
xbox360 and games
aload of psp games
ps2 games
A dog (I've always wanted one)
I'd hire an assasain to kill all the people who dont deserve to live (you know who you are! *evil stare*)
A buffy boards outing would be nice lol like killerdwarf said! Perhaps to the moon!
I'd buy aload of buffy/angel/firefly props. I'm thinking Scythe, Faiths jackal knife, Smile time Angel Puppet(even though I hated the episode)...and to top it all...Serenity itself! 🙂 That would be cool
Hey, I'm 16. I honestly couldn't give it ALL to charity. I'm one who believes charity starts at home. We've gone through some money problems. I'd just enjoy it. Is that selfish?...dont judge me! 😛

After the government got their share of it..taxes, I would give my brother in law and sister in law a million each. I would have my mother in laws house bulldozed to the ground and build her a nicer home and make her quit work, have her surgery (both knees), buy her a van and deposit a million for her too. I would make a trust fund for each of our sons for their future. Build the house of our dreams, pay off all debts, have a nice vacation and invest a majority of it. I would give some to local charities, a childrens hospital, shelters for abused women and children, and disabled veterans. I would like to open my own greenhouse and florist shop.

You need to move to Canada! No taxes on windfall money...gambling, lotteries, etc! The one and only tax advantage we have over anyone!

I'm sorry to say, Charity would be the last thing on my list, if at all.
First and foremost..DEBT, screw off.
I'd buy myself an expensive Car. Lambourghini Murcielago in Deep Purple.
Possibly a Hummer H2 SUT too.
Then, i'd buy my family a house and a (cheap) Butler/Maid.
I'd pay for myself and three friends the best Holiday of my life.
Starting with a Three Week Caribbean Cruise. When that finished, i'd Jet to Dubai for a fortnight of excess. Two weeks of that will make me want to 'Cool Down' so it would be off to a Swedish resort for a week for some SERIOUS Spa treatment.
That would then lead me to Kenya for a 3 week Safari Holiday.
When this was done, i would then think about coming home.
I would move to London to attend the American Intercontinental University(i'd love to go now but for the 4 years I need £60k-$130).
While IN London, i would take advantage of being that close to the West End and see every play thats put on.
....ok, thats my first year sorted.

hmmm 30 million... thats alot.. I wouldnt know where to begin!! I would probally bulid my dream home and then buy my parents a house each (since they are seperated) making sure my 8 year old brother had his own arcade.. donate some money to charities.. um buy a yacht or cruise boat so i could travel alot and take my friends!!! Umm give some money to close family members... buy my brother an xbox 360, his car that he keeps talking about and a motorbike.. invest the rest.. and of course go shopping for whatever I wanted!!!! Richy rich.. i am.. man i would even think about putting a theme park in my back yard!
I'd retire from work like a shot. Then make sure that our family were well provided for. Then take a long, long break and then work out how much money we needed to maintain the lifestyle we wanted and which good causes would benefit from the good fortune...oh, and buy a huge plasma screen telly and new house to put it in and a Dalek and...etc. 🙂

I agree with DDLM, I know it would be selfish, but Charity would be the last thing on my list.
Firstly get rid of all debt for my parents, and give then 2 million. Give my brother and sister 1 million each.
Then I'd buy every DVD I ever wanted, A slayer Scythe (Always wanted one of them) Then a big House, Car plasma TV, all the regulars. And I'd go on a huge holiday with anyone that wanted to come to Disneyland. Then the rest in a investment thing to get more money, but I'd keep 1 million for me encase I wanted to but anything on a whim!
Oh actually how much do thise trips to Space cost? And I'd also but one of those Car's that turn into a boat, that would be nifty!

Hmm, well I would probably be a little bit selfish and buy things that I don't need any basically waste it. I'd probably spend the $30 million on the following...
*Plane tickets and stuff so I could see Faith Hill in concert (Soul2Soul tour)
* I'd give my mum, dad, brother, sister and gran $5 million each.
* Buy myself a house.
* And probably just either hide the rest away or give a portion to charities supporting cancer and aids.

Get cable. I get USA, FX and SciFi shows taped, so I'd definitely like to have a backstage pass.
Vacation! Bahamas, Hawaii, etc. Maybe a cruise.
Mansion with a pool.

Well, I would probably give my mum and dad quite a bit of it, to ensure they were comfortable in old age, then I would pay off my mortgage, buy myself the car of my dreams. Get every DVD boxset etc that I have wanted forever. Go on a spending spree and buy loads of clothes and shoes and bags etc. I'd redecorate my house, get a new bathroom etc. I'd want a larger TV and I'd get my garden revamped!
I think that would pretty much spend most of the money, as I have expensive taste and if I won the lottery there would be no need to scrimp and save, or get cheap stuff for my house. I could get expensive stuff!
