Writer's Block: Jackpot

If you won the lottery, what would you do with your newfound riches?

Assuming it was the proverbial million-dollar jackpot, I would, in order of increasing frivolity:

1. Pay off my parents' mortgage.

2. Buy a nice, new, reliable, environmentally-friendly car (but probably not a Mini - it's a splendid vehicle in all four respects, but the back seat is cramped and my parents already have one); let them drive it, but learn to drive.

3. Get all our bicycles repaired to fighting trim; get a new bike helmet that's designed for freakishly oversized heads like mine.

4. Have a nice family dinner at a good restaurant.

Whatever remains, I would invest.

You can buy it for me the day you win the lottery...
Of course, i'll have a few more books on my amazon wish list by then:)

Oh, I wouldn't be buying what was on people's wish lists - I'd just be buying copies of Shardik. For everyone. (;

I can handle that!
Plus I'm not sure a million dollars would cover my wish list anyway.
