I'd stick it in the bank,arrange for my meals and garden and housework to be done by someone else,enroll my kids in all the after school clubs they been begging me for.Perhaps buy a bigger house,so my daughter could have her own bedroom..

Then I'd have give some to my friends anonymously that,are stuck and unhappy because of lack of money.

And probably buy houses for each of my children,because my husband once told me this was his life's ambition/wish.

Did I run out yetconfused

In some ways,I think I'd find that huge amount rather hard to cope with..It comes with a big responsibility to make the most,help the most people etc.

5 million, alot of beers there eh? laugh I'd try to open up a big cats sanctuary, especially for Tigers. I'd live there etc, and the rest I'd invest in a trust fund for my niece and nephew as I have no kids of my own.

thumbs up I like your way of thinking.

Plus also I like Taffs idea ... except I would have this great big property and take in ALL unwanted animals.... from wherever .. especially the Arab countries where they are so ill treated.

Set up a trust fund and let every year decide where the tick should go if anywhere.

NGOs and their alike got a bit of a trouble at times channeling funds, better not give all to one single receiver.

It would not change my personal life much though dunno

Hi Mike,what's up?

Yeah,some Charities,etc. truly have problems channeling the Money.
It somehow always ends up in the wrong Pockets,or Administrative Costs for some reason are astronomical!confused

If I had that kind of money,I would open up a few elementary schools in the most derelect parts of Asia & Africa with a small soup kitchen & hire locals & make sure the money went directly to the people concerned.I would not change my lifestyle one bit as whatever little I earn now I appreciate its abundance!!!

Actually, I feel like changing my mind.

I would spend it all on me ... except I`d give my kids each a few hundred thousand to keep them quiet and happy... and the rest on ME.

I`d buy myself a cute little house up near the forest far enough away from neighbors so I can play really loud music and bang a djembi ....

And I`d install a huge Jacuzzi in a glass walled outdoor room ......heated for winter, full of exotic plants .... all cared for by a specialist plant person so I dont have to worry about them dying.

And I`d have a beautiful insulated home for some laying hens, and a rooster to keep them happy and make baby chicks ...... and they can all roam around the garden .... with a couple pigs .....and some sheep ....and a cow .....

And a cleaning lady to come swissy clean every now and again .... and a gardener to plant veges and flowers ... so I can just mess around in the garden when I feel like it ....

And the rest of the time ....dunno .. buy a violin and learn to play it ....and a set of drums .... and a new guitar....maybe have a face-lift ........ and generally just enjoy life ....

I never participate in lottery, so there’s just no possibility for me to win money. But perhaps I can find that amount while spaziering in forest… But that day that sorrow.

Yesterday out driving saw the most magnificent rainbow I`ve ever seen! ... clear from one end to the other....

Impossible to get to the end of the rainbow! Every time I got close to it, it moved further away!
