    Just to comment on what Val said on my original post...

    In Canada we don't pay tax on lottery winnings.
    I agree that a million is not very much, but I didn't want to be the only one to point that out. Hehehe. I would still love to have it!

    I would take 1/2 to 3/4 of it and invest it so that it would provide retirement income for me. The balance I would use to pay off my debts and fix up the house. I MIl doesn't go that far.

    Gee, I would settle for 1 mill. It's better than nothing.

    :) 1 Mill I would pay off my mortgage and any other small debts that I may have and enjoy what eva was left over.

    10 Mill - I would do all of the above still, but as it's a little more cash, probley invest some of it and try and make a few more bucks on investments. I would also give a chunk of it away to local charities that work hard in my local community.

    Jay Jay, that sounds like a great plan.

    I would love to have the problem of trying to figure what to do with the money. Come on, anyone want to test me... LOL

    Okay aqua, here's one. You're on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, and you are on the million dollar question. You have no mare lifelines. If you guess right, you leave with 1 mill. If you miss, you leave with 32,000. If you walk away, you have a big check for a half a million. What do you do?

    OOOoooo...

    That is a good question!

    Personally, I would take the check for $500,000 and run (fast). It's a half million more than I have now and I could sure do a lot with it.

    You? Anyone else?

    When I asked this question, I never thought I would answer it. You do have a 1/4 chance of winning it all. But then you have a 3/4 chance of losing. I too would walk away... unless I knew the answer of course!:D

    What if you missed, you have 250,000? Would you go with it, or would you still walk away?

    Okay, so let me get this straight...

    I have just successfully answered the $250,000 question right.

    I have no life lines left.

    I can go onto the $500,000 question... if I get it wrong, I walk away with $32,000 or I can walk away with $250,000.

    Are we up to speed?

    If this is the case, I think... I would walk away. I think that would be my limit though. I would do what I could to get to the $250,000. I would regret not trying if I walked away before that. I would still get $32,000 so I haven't lost. But I would definitely kick myself if I didn't stick it out (if given the chance) to the $250,000 question.

    No regrets.

    Personally, I would decide what my chances are on getting the 500,000 question correct.

    If I felt confident with the answer I had chosen, then I might go for it.

    I'm sorry, I made it confusing. You are at the 1 million question with 500,000. If you miss this time, instead of going down to 32, you would only go down to 250,000

    Oh... then I would definitely try it. It goes back to the earlier... as long as I was leaving with $250,000 all would be good. I would DEFINITELY try the $1,000,000 question.

    Sorry I got your question confused, it seems so simple now.

    Here's a good one. You're on Fear Factor. What is the worst thing you would do for 10,000. Feel free to tell what you would do for a different amount.

    That's incredibly tough. I wouldn't do anything with bugs or creatures, etc. The worst thing... hmmm... I don't even know if I could do the eating or drinking things... YUCK!

    Okay, so I'm a big wuss. I would do the stunts, and that's about it. Anyone else?
