Stolen from mactavish.
I answer this one differently every time. It's interesting to see my answers change. Oddly enough, I think I miiiiight have actually had a million dollars once. On paper, that is; counting unvested stock options and that sort of thing. What I did was lose it in the stock market. :-) This answer is much more fun!
I'd pay off Rick's truck &/or trailer loan so he can live longer as a nomad if he likes.
I'd probably replace my twelve-year-old (oops! thirteen now) car.
I'd see if bribery can get me hangar space, and if so, I'd buy a brand-new Pitts S-2C and tuck it in snugly under a roof. I'd buy it from Sean Tucker so's it'd come with lessons. 8-) I'd be heartily tempted to fly it back from Wyoming myself.
Still got more than 700K left!
I'd buy a big handful of BAMM scholarships for teens. I'd give a mess o' money to anyone taking in really big cats from people who realize they don't make good pets when they grow up. I'd get a 737 type rating ($10k).
I'd quit this job. Blargh. Take a year off. Spend it flying, backpacking, hiking, making love.
I'd probably throw the remaining half million into a couple mutual funds. Might be worth something some day. ;-)
(well, ok: the remaining half million went to the government, of course.)
