For $140 million...I would invest it...make it a few billion...and hire NASA to fly me up on the Space Shuttle and fly me around the earth a few times. :-)

However, it does costs $10,000 per pound to launch something into space. :)

Then, I'd build myself a compound on my newly purchase island. For protection, I'd hire some European shipbuilding company to make me a small turbine-powered aircraft carrier. I'd doubt Newsport News would. lol

Then I'd buy military jets from anyone who would sell them to me (not crappy one...nice ones), hire the sailors and pilots, then send that thing to sea! :P

Muhahaha..now that's protection. =)

LOL...that's why I said I would invest it and make billions out of it. Therefore, I could get a lot of bang for my buck! :P

I've never played Starcraft or CC so I wouldn't know.

If I won that much I'd probably disappear. :) Too bad I didn't. Stupid CA Lottery thing put out the wrong numbers! I'm hoping someone didn't win. Then I can lose another $5.

What to do... oooh I know. I'd build the worlds largest hamster habitat! A mansion of tubes! Then I'd pay a scientist to make a hamster hoversuit just so I could have my very own levitating dwarf hamster. What power such money wields...

I lived on the mainland for a bit
and we got a russian dwarf hamster built this mondo 3 cages all tubes connecting massive thing it was so cool
built it on our wall so he had like three main levels and tubes that went out to other areas and all over
to bad the littel guys do not last more than about 2 years :(
we can no have hamsters on Hawaii as if they got loose oh boy watch out no predators here except cats think they would have to call it hamaii after that
hehehehe

Ever heard the saying:

"The lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math."

(errrr... I think that's it)

If I won $140 million, which actually happens to be approximately $280 million here in Australia I think that my sex life would suddenly turn into one of the best in the world!

Not that it isn't already of course :)

Knowing my mentality, I'd probably build a tech school for the less privileged. Then, with whatever is leftover, I'd take my girlfriend out shopping.

1 million = Take a break

140 million = Take a long break

Right now = Dream.. or try to make a million first..

If I won a million dollars I would put it into a low risk investment and live off the $6,000 / month quite happily thank you.

Work, why?
