    How much money we talking about? I'm gonna assume loads. Well, give a fair percentage to charity (You might think I'm just saying that, but I'm just too weak-willed not to. It's a lucky charity collector that see's me coming :D)

    And then spend the rest on all the stuff I've ever wanted- Nice Gibson/Rickenbacker (However it's spelled), and a Hipforums subscription :) The rest I'd just keep and buy stuff on impulse.

    well thank god I'm not a hippy!

    I'd pay off my education, I'd invest a bunch so I have retirement funds and all that, a regular income without having to work from bonds maturing. I'd buy some nice electronics (flatscreen tv and a new computer). I'd donate a bunch to CHEP (child hunger education program, it's a local charity), Habitat for Humanity and United Way. After I finished university, I'd buy myself a nice house in an area i like, a hybrid car, and I'd travel around Europe for a while too (probably before I buy a house, just in case I fall in love with an area).

    of course, this is all assuming hte lottery is for shitloads of money, not just $20

    i would travel for a year or two, then settle down, build my own recording studio with a house in it, buy intruments from all over the world, record music. Im sure there is much more i would do, but thats all i can think of doing at the moment

    I would donate some to local charities wherever I lived (not an insane amount... I'm sure there's a reason if I won it), keep the rest for making repairs on things I already own... buy new things here and there, but not go crazy... and I'd make sure my children wouldn't have to worry as much as I did by using what they need for education, for education... the rest I would leave to my family, assuming I keep it for a long time after investing.

    3 things I'd do...
    1. Nice House in the woods or oceanfront
    2. Travel
    3. Donate to TLC Canada and Greater Victoria School District (maybe then they'll buy chairs that don't murder your back...)

    If I won the Lotto, I'd buy pounds of Bud,
    Give it to my homies to show I got love,
    Dirtbikes and buggies and four wheel drives,
    I own my own jet, ah yo, I'm world wide,
    First class fast, take a trip over seas,
    Me, my girl Ami makin' love on the beach,
    I just bought a yacht, I just won the Lottery,
    Never ending buds in my cultivation,
    So I can smoke out the world in the hempalation,
    Give some money to my pops, buy my mom a new house,
    Or anything she wants, no rush just pick it out,
    Don't worry about the ends plenty bread to be broke,
    I'll open a skate shop and sell bags of dope,
    Blow custom glass so I smoke days of hits,
    I build a greenhouse where my hydro sit,
    No questions planes trains just to keep you guessin',
    The lottery, L-O-T-T-E-R-Y,
    Money signs, green backs, honey blunts and fat sacks,
    Everything I want and everything I need,
    A different house for each day of the week,
    A private lake so I could jet ski,
    In the back a duck blind so I shoot geese with my dad,
    Mini bikes and go-karts I want it all,
    The Universal Walk, fuck it i'll buy the mall,

    That's why I wouldn't invest directly in anything owned by the government. I'd rather invest it in what I use and not live with the guilt if anything ever happened.

    Though Gov't bonds really aren't bad because they aren't taxed, keeps your country out of so much debt... Here, Clinton had a good surplus, but there was still a little genocide and places we really didn't belong, if you know where I'm coming from.

    Whatever works for you... you know.

    Andddd capitalism will still be there, the guns will only cause more capitalism, someone will be holding a gun at your head at all times, and everyone will still be fishless.

    - I'd be happier with a pole in my hand. I grew up with the pole, and you'll learn that the pen will always be mightier than the sword, in truth. The pen that wrote religious and philosophical tests, the pen that gave you your education...

    Of course, leave that up to artificial intelligence to tell you what to do.

    You won't be happy when someone puts a bullet in your head or cans your ass, then someone else will come along. Life isn't always pax romana, but there's nothing wrong with dreaming.

    Che Guevara, Saddam Hussein, Fidel Castro, Ronald Reagan, John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, Jimmy Carter, and everyone from John McDonald to Stephen Harper will tell you the same.
