I'd do a lot of stuff... The options in the poll above would be the last of my concerns. Here is a brief list of what I'd do:
1. I'd pay for a lawyer to sue the $hit outta my dad.
2. Move my aunt out of the hellish place she lives in.
3. Buy a car and house for my mom.
4. Buy a car and a house for me.
5. Pay off my overdue CC bills.
6. Go back to school for more classes.
7. Finish my flying lessons.
8. And enjoy life...Don't like what I say? Ignore me.

I'd keep hosting people until the money finally ran out. j/k
Honestly, I'd probably fall over dead if I won.

Can't you live like a king of 1 billion?
I'd probably:
1. Give 5 million to sarah
2. Donate 30 mil to a few schools demanding that 60% go to teacher salaries
3. Invest 100 million
4. Buy 2 nice houses, one on a lake
5. Buy a couple of cars (Ferarri f50, BMW any series really, Fast and Furious type car and more!)
6. Get sarah to marry me heh
7. Give 5 mil each to all my blood families
Live better than i do now, but not much better than that..

Open a science innovation laboratory, would help fund talented kids around the world, invest in my ideas, buy exclusive rights to StarWars, x-men and lord of the rings productions and close those projects down forever.

1. Disconnect all my phone lines and change my email address
2. Find an offshore banking haven and make quite a large deposit
3. Call my blood family and tell them they have enough money to retire in a holding account.
4. Purchase and develop a small island somewhere around Australia or New Zealand.
5. Live quite comfortably for the rest of my days.
The only problem is, I wouldn't drink Pepsi or a Pepsi product if my life depended on it. So, good luck folks.

Anyone remember that scene in futurama when Fry finds out his bank account is now worth something like 300 billion dollars? That's what would happen to me... except I would probably die of a heartattack .

I would grab all of my friends (real friends, not the ones I get after I get my money) and move them to a remote island where everything is legal *wink*.
Then I would wire the whole island with an OC-192. I'd have network cables running across trees, through the sand...it'd be great..
It would be a 24/7 365 lan party!
I'd also put in a Go-Kart track!
