We're talking mega-millions, right? What my brain has earned years ago and never even received a pork chop in return for having offered?



I'm still waiting to get paid--and tomorrow's going to be PAYDAY? Wow, yippie, what took you guys so long? Here I am--YO!

I'm ready!



Now for world domination.

Part One, the prelude.

1. Buy five houses. One in New York city, an upper story job as hq.

2. An apartment in Budapest, great city and perfect central location for traveling in Europe.

3. A house on a Greek island of choice for true vacations and as a travel base in the region.

4. One in any other locale I desire--maybe England.

5. One in a US State of choice, with horses and great views.



2. Step Two: make use of the money. Put enough aside in inestments so I can live comforatbly in safety forever.



3.Step Three: invest the money is doing what I've always waned to do, namely be the creator of tv series, movies, get my vastly better poetry, plays and other works done, published, etc. in place of the schlock that's been clogging up the world all these years--a personal media empire dedicated to self-responsible heroes, not to categorical

level character-flawed failures and other incompetents.



4.Work 56% of the time, travel the rest of it.



5. Repair my health, ruined all these years by imperialist dictators and nasty controlling types.



6. Buy six things I've always wanted--one great statue, one great painting, twelve costumes I've always wanted to wear, a first-rate grand piano and lessons to become really good at playing it, a home theater and movie area, a recording studio where I can produce music and radio shows, etc; and a models room where I can have miniatures of ncient Rome, Greece, Eizabethan London, the Q2 two, the USS Enterprise, etc.



7. Start or greatly expand a rescue home for dogs and cats.



8. Build in Greece a livable city of ancient Greeke houses, up to earthquake code of course, where people can live a real democratic way of life as artisans, farmers, handwork and creative and small business sorts and a school will train people, me included, in ancient Greek.



9. Build my museum of greatness--not popular icons--called the AMERICA Museum--"american museum extolling realistic intelligence, categorically applied"; a place where justice and lasting fame are awarded to great people who have suffered throughout the ages, not to behavioral freaks and tsars.



10. Found a university based on my principles of Objectivist philosophy, not pseudo-religious tyrannizing over fields of human misthought and misapplication. To be called Rand-Michael Institute--RMI. Its mascot will be

"The Intellectual Warrior" symbolized by a man impersonating Alcibiades the Athenian who first said, "Man does not belong to the state; his mind is his own, and so are the truths he discovers to be fact."

On my knees - thanking God for the miracle! Then at the Board of Education submitting my resignation., in my classroom collecting my books and memoribilia and planning a party for my students and their parents. Then the real work would start - finding myself a house that I can convert into a school for young people. Academic Arts Academy - ages 4-12. Complete with computers, books, labs, art, music, dance and academic instruction; languages and parental classes and workshops. Healthy meals served throughout the day, campus medical staff (qualified nurses/physician assistants) After that - I'd be looking for apartment complexes for the aged- those who retire and who are able to fend for themselves, can live alone, but need a certain amount of assistance. A structure that would maintain all their needs including exercise, medical, furnished apartments, social activities, etc. That's what I dream and desire -

I'd probably put the money in several bank accounts and bonds... the first thing I'd do is book a trip to the North Pole, like a long cruise going to Iceland and Greenland and all those little islands by the Antarctic. Then I'd buy me a house!

I'd still be here in the pub I live in and manage.

I'd be stood at the bar as usual talking to my customers and watching them help themselves to whatever drink they desired, free of charge, and promising to keep in touch when I have brought my ready packed suitcases downstairs and set off to the airport to a caribbean destination for a month to make my plans for the future.

If I win more than a tenner of course and it's hard enough to do that!

If it's a considerable sum of winnings...

I would recheck the ticket again and again.

Collect the winnings first the following day!

Bank it...

Thirdly, the shopping comes in!

Gifts for myelf and love ones!

Buy a house

Purchase Automobiles

Luxurious products

Donations to worthwell charities/organizations

Sponsor education for kids in poverty

YEAH!

Sleeping off a hearty hangover!!!



sorting out my camping stuff ready to pitch a tent outside camelot ready for when the doors open Monday morning, telling the Abbey bank to poke there services and sorting out a financial adviser.

I'd come home from nightshift tonight, write my notice out for real ... I already have it written out, it just needs dating; it's just a good job I don't keep it in my bag .... and then carry on with my shifts for the next month. I wouldn't tell a soul.



I'd tell them that I had to achieve my potential while I'm still young enough to do it (I'm 41) and I was finally going to do that access course and then go on to uni as I'm always whinging I'd love to ... they know I plan to finish my Russian one day.



I know you have to go to Liverpool to collect the cheque. I'd phone them, ask them to come for me on Wednesday morning when I'd finished my nightshift but they would have to come in a normal car, not a limo. I work a few minutes from where I live and one of my colleague's mother lives over the road, another one's aunt lives up the street. It wouldn't take long for news to get back.



but apart from that, I haven't given it much thought.

If i did you would probably find me in a house having a party surrounded by my family and friends! then i would take them away on holiday.

But it is only a thought and dream that i could win that much money.
