Answer 1

First scream of happiness
when I finish screaming I will do the following:

1) Spread the money to several banks.
2) Pay off everything that I owe.
3) Do everything you mentioned above, 100 million is a lot.
4) Travel the seen and unseen world, just visit every bit of it.
5) Seek counceling to invest and generate more money.
6) Along with that, build a big charity organization.
7) Learn how to fly and visit the space with the NASA program.
8) I wouldn't care to buy a house really, because I will ll be in a different country every few weeks, I'd purchase appartements.
9) take extensive language classes ( French, Spanish, Italian)
10) Every now and then .. Just make somebody's day ;)

Answer 2

Perfect the Device which My Avatar is a Photo of. It's a Device I've Built that Converts Regular Pump Gasoline into Propane.100 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel. Perfected, it wlll enable even the Largest SUV to Attain 50 + MPG, and Emit 10 X less Pollution. Here's the Problem. All Vehicles in the USA from 1996 to the Present are required by the EPA-OBD II Law to run at 14.7 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel.Any Change, even if Fuel Economy is Improved, and Emissions are Lowered , is not Permitted ! Really ! Under this Insane Law, it is entirely possible to Fail a Vehicle Inspection for not Emitting enough Pollution ! What I'd like to do is to Restore, Convert, and Donate Older Pre-OBD II Vehicles to Charity, starting with the Local "Meals-On-Wheels" Program. Volunteers who Deliver Hot Meals to Elderly Low Income Homebound People Pay all Vehicle Expenses out of Pocket. Even with Gas back down to $2.50, that's still $50 for a 20 Gallon Fill Up ! The Big Oil Companies got the OBD II Law passed to Stop Vapor Fuel Technology. I, and many others would like to expose this Fact. Charity would be about the best way I can Think of to accomplish just that. For even more, go to http://www.fuelvapors.com and find out what happened to [the Late] Tom Ogle. He was Offered $25 Million to keep His Fuel Vaporizer off the Market. He Refused. He's Dead ! Also, http://energy21.freeservers.com/bookrep.html is worth Checking as well. $100 Million probably won't be enough to Fight Government Backed Multi-Billion Dollar Big Oil Corporations, but it would be a Nice start ! With Charity !

Answer 3

Give my kids, my parents, my 2 best friends,and my husbands family some money. Especially my kids. They are grown. Get new cars, buy some clothes, some land, build a very nice but reasonable house and furniture of course. Try to find the best charitable way to contribute. Probably help some kids go to college. Go to Florence Italy, take an Alaskan cruise, go to Las Vegas and spend as little money possible there. Live a very nice but not extravagant life.

Answer 4

Give most of it away. Yes, I know this is what a lot of people say but I once had quarter of a million pounds (half a million dollars) and gave it away.

I'd keep some, maybe 10 million, stick it in a high interest account and be more than happy with that. As long as I could travel the world I'd be fine.

Answer 5

What would I do? I would pay off all my bills and put half into some kind of investment account to keep earning interest so I would never be without money again. Then I could live life without that worry hanging over me or my family. THAT sounds like the deal of a lifetime!

Peace!

Answer 6

Spend a day walking around downtown handing $100 bills to people who were caught doing good deeds. Call a few friends and tell them to tell their bosses off if they want. I'll cover their salaries and then some. Fly all of my net friends in for a big party.

Answer 7

Charity & Church
Invest the majority
Build a house or 2
Go on VACATION
Go on a HUGE shopping spree
Buy several vehicles
Build AFFORDABLE housing for low income people
Set up College accounts for my 3 kids.

Answer 8

Live off the interest, support a lot of missionaries, do volunteer work, write a book, travel the world, help lots of people in both big and small ways.

Answer 9

I would have myself frozen for a couple of hundred years until people can live for a really long time, and invest the rest of the money in the SPX index fund, as long as WWIII doesn't happen.

Answer 10

I think I would buy a nice, secluded house on the ocean someplace and use it as my home base. From there I would travel wherever and whenever I wanted....and by whatever means struck my fancy; trains and boats and planes!
