I would make multiple visits to vegas to play poker, especially in the WSOP.

The hockey team would be going on the best damned tourney week ever. I'd guess a Euro trip.

Yes!!!!

I'd probably try to buy a stake in the company. With the typical "Goods days, bad days" exception, I love what I do. I believe in what we're trying to accomplish, and would love to see this thing through to the end.

I'd probably commit at least one more full year before slowly extracting myself from the operation.

As for the original question: What would I do with 50 Million?

Step One: Mom retires. She's worked enough.
Step Two: Buy a house with a garage.
Step Three: Turn the garage into the ultimate at home woodworking/mechanical shop.
Step Four: Spend 250+ days per year riding a motorcycle (all over the world) for the rest of my life.
Step Five: The remaining days would be spent rebuilding classic vehicles/motorcycles and making wooden furniture.

I read this whole thread, after imagining how I'd spend the money I have to pinch myself so I remember that I'm not actually a millionaire.

My charity would be some kind of micro-loan organisation, and something to do with the environment.

I would buy a mass amount of property, probably in the north coast of b.c.
somewhere, and start an awesome Eco-campground. No rv's, tents only. I would let foreigners come and help manage it, and I would give preference to musicians. I would spend my days at the campground, putting in work with my own hands, and playing music. I would probably travel a lot and busk in some sweet cities around the world, posing as a poor struggling musician, having the time of my life

I'd buy a place in New York, Paris, Idaho and Calgary. I'd hire a couple people to handle my finances and the people that will come ask for money. Then, I'd just do what I do now and not worry about money.

Buy my share of Canada

Always remember to use the classic line:

"Two weeks from now, you're gonna notice I ain't been here for two weeks".

Feels goooooooood.

Level 1 this year, but I'm not overly worried because I've been busting my a$$ off studying.

Level 2-3 are the tricky ones.

Best of luck with your exam, hope you do well! Either way in 3 days we get to take a big breather

Can't say that I have, or if I have I don't remember the quote.

First thing l would do is call my exgf and sing to her what l just won. Then l would record the sound of her tears dripping on the floor and make it my new theme song. I would then buy a rather large bag of Marijuana and roll up the biggest, fatest joint you ever saw.



I would then smoke it all and pass out, thinking this was all a dream. l would then wake up the next morning and smoke the roach, realizing that it was in fact not a dream. I'm not 100% sure if l would quit my job since l love what l do, but l do know l would instantly become the most popular person at work. l would then pay off all my debts and buy a new house. A large house.

I know that l would have every gold digger in town comming after me, so l would hire a personal 'woman filter' to filter out all the hoochies, while only allowing in the women who might benefit me long term.

Once l have that all settled down, l would probably travel the world, taking exotic vacation after vacation. I would also remember my friends who were there for me during the good/bad times and take care of them.

The very first thing I would do is ask to borrow money from all of my friends and relatives making up some story about why I need the money right away. I would then see who offers me up some money to help me out. Once I have that figured out I know who I'd be giving money to.

After I've given a bunch away, I'd buy a lake front cabin in the Shuswaps, a condo at Revelstoke Mountain Resort, a condo in Hollywood/Santa Monica, a condo in Vegas and then spend a year travelling trying to figure out where else I'd want to buy a place.

I'd probably open up a gym franchise in Calgary, possibly two locations and spend my time managing it and working out.

You'd have to be able to run faster than him back to the plane to strand him there. Something tells be you would be stranded on the lamest island ever with your bad knees.
