Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

I'd pay off my parents debt, buy a nice used car, and put the rest in several decent money market accounts and live of the interest.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

 
Hey, they Cray XD-1 and XT-3 use opertons.  That's kinda cool.  I wonder if I could run win 2k server on it for some supercomputer gaming.  

I wouldn't buy an x-1 unless it was a -really- big lottery.  It's a custom CPU after all, which means you'll need to have software written for it.  And that's probably gonna end up costing you more then the supercomputer itself.

hmm...

if i won the lottery:
pay my bills, pay my parent's bills, keep a small fraction aside for my bro's higher education, and then give the rest away.

I've little use with so much money, and my life is happy enough as it is, thank you.

If i won the lottery, and because i´m a party pooper, i would hire a gang of thieves and lawyers to repossess all the goodies you guys bought with your lottery. I would then make a pile with all the stuff, and like Uncle Scrooge i would dive in it, and say "It´s mine!!It´s ALL mine!!" Muaahaahaahaa
:p

You can't pay me! I'm not going to do your bidding for money!

:nervous: So, like, how much? Can you pay in Australian dollars?

Btw, that model is almost 7 years old. You don't need the lottery to get that, just a loan. :p

If I'd win the lottery... Hmmm....

Pay debts away. Buy a big home. Get a studio going and my own production company. Invest the rest in a swiss bank account and live off the interest.

Aside from that, I'd fill a swimming pool up with chocolate and take a dive in it. I mean hell, when would you get to do that?!
I have returned... Again...
