I would move to a Country where there is no oil.
Wondergirl- I live in a hamlet around 5 km from Edmonton called Sherwood Park, a 5-6 hour flight from Toronto. Who knows, maybe I'll make a trip to Chicago one day with the hubby and kids, can I bring my fur babies?
Gernald- Your German is great. I love Germany, I would go visit more often if it wasn't so expensive, but a family of 4 can cost quite a bit, especially because I'd have to rent a car etc. I love living in Canada however and I wouldn't leave, unless I can get my own island somewhere near Hawaii.
What, no black gold, no Texas tea? How about the Oilers, got to love them.Quote:

Funny, I'd move to the last place anyone would ever look for me.;) Oil wouldn't be a bad thing to have on my island in Hawaii, the money might run out some day and I'll have to find a way to make a buck. I don't think weaving grass skirts is in my future.:p
Solar panels, lots a batteries, and bikes.
Antartica, China..?Quote:

Ooooooh along with my original comment. I would also like to buy a lifetime supply of Chowards scented gum. That stuff is addicting.
Gum? Hmmm, how expensive is this gum that you would have to win 5 million? What's in this gum? Can you buy it over the counter?;)
I'm sticking with the expensive chocolate. Which country makes the best chocolate, I might have to go to the source.
Mmm... chocolate... Switzerland... Belgium... Mmm...
Course, Godiva is pretty great, too! :)
Cool, I have relatives in Switzerland, I wonder if they'd mind me stopping by.
Darnit, now I'm craving chocolate.:D
Build a go-kart version of the nurburg ring, i.e a miniature one
They mind random strangers dropping in? LOL! :)Quote:

I'm not a stranger, they're my Uncle's widow and kids (although they're all my age or older so I guess they're not kids anymore). I was supposed to visit them last time I was in Germany, but it didn't work out, so I haven't actually seen them in 23 years. Of course I now have a husband and two kids so I think it might get a little crowded. Better call first.:)
Ahhh coffee, that I have:) . Still craving the chocolate though.:(

If I won, I would split it with my brother. First, I would pay off all my debt, then I would buy a newer car, go back to school, and buy an apt for my best friend. I would make sure my aunt never ended up in a nursing home, and I would go on a vacation with my ex boyfriend and my best friend. Oh... and I would send both of them back to school as well.
Actually - I would probably have a heart attack and never get to spend a dime. :)
I'll ask if they have room for one more. We could eat chocolate 24/7.Quote:

On second thought, forget the skiing. 24/7 C&C sounds waaaay to good! ;)
LOL! Why thank you ScottG!Quote:

I used to live in PA - went to Hershey quite a bit... You know, the whole kisses street light thing is pretty cool... I could use one of those for my apartment... A little bit more eclectic-ism for my corner of the world!
$20 if you pinch one for me?? :D
This a fantasy--no need of the stats to make it unfun! I have often thought of winning the lotto, of course you have to play to win! Pay off bills of mine and my closet relatives and my church.
Where at in Pa did you live?Quote:

Wow, what's it like in China? You must have allot of interesting stories to tell. Is there any good chocolate there? What's the coffee like?;)
As for the skiing, not going to happen. I've skied twice in my life and discovered (not easily) that I am not meant to stick long posts on my feet, go up a mountain, aim for the bottom and hope that I make it. Too many trees, animals that run in my path, children that laugh etc. etc. I'll sit in the chalet with hot chocolate and cold chocolate and every chocolate imaginable. :D
Ding, better idea, go on a trip around the world sampling their chocolates and their coffee.
I'm going to buy a lottery ticket, if I win you might hear from me.:p

That's a good point, pounds is more than dollars right now. Hmmmm... wonder if you could trick the lottery people in to giving the prize in pounds??
Probably not :(
If I won the lottery, in addition to what I have already posted, I'd take a month and tour China again. China is simply divine... once you get past the strange food and the horrid cultural lack of cleanliness (don't ask!), you're pleasantly and completely surprised by the historical legacy of the country. It is one of the most beautiful places on earth. I've been to Inner Mongolia, the Gobi Desert, the Forbidden City, Great Wall, Summer Palace, Tienanmen Square, Xi'an and the Terra-Cotta Soldiers, the Ice Festival near Russia, and on and on. Its an amazing book of memories.Quote:

Yup, I'd tour China if I won a fortune.
And I'm LOVING the coffee/chocolate tour... That's one of the best suggestions yet! ;)
My first skiing experience was at Rabbit Hill when I was still a teen, I ended up taking of my ski's and walking down the hill half way through. Nope, definitely not a skier.Quote:

If I don't win the lottery I'll send you some chocolate from Germany. The coffee isn't great there but the beer is very good, I'll have a toast to all of you.;)
If I won something like 20 million £ pounds
Buy a massive house.
Loads of Cars (Ferrari,Buggati Veyron,Mercedes Mclaren SLR)
Tons of really expensive technology around the house that would leave me with about 17 million.
Once I have spent 3 million and have 17 million left over I would prob buy a property in DUBAI and Australia and the USA as holiday homes :)
So have 15 million left then do what I want for the rest of it for years to come!
Maybe start up my own business or just chill at home and go out everyday knowing the worst thing I have to worry about is my health and family's health nothing else would matter near enough the perfect life :P and without the fame to piss you off! Great
Mmm... I'm liking the idea of an AMHD toast! :) My current mood is going to dictate such a toast this evening after work...Quote:

Sounds great! I'd like to go there someday. But first on the list is a tour of South America.Quote:
