on being a millionaire

Top ten things I would promptly do upon winning the millions (from the lottery of which I do not play) that have nothing to do with philanthropy:

1) Send Philipp on a gigantic record buying spree for everything conceivable on his "to buy" list and then some.
2) Pay off our Scion
3) Buy Mama & Daddy an RV
4) Take an enormous road trip through every state I care about (ahem--sorry Iowa, Kansas, Wisconsin & the like)
5) Buy a huge chunk of land in the central coast of California
6) Build not too big house on said land
7) Buy Johannes a huge chunk of land in the desert
8) Pay off Martin's house
9) Fly all of my family here for Christmas
10) Brew beer!!

What would be your urgent non-philanthropic ten?

I always fantasize about winning the lottery, even though I never play...

1) Pay off our mortgage/student & car loans
2) Pay off my parents' mortgage/credit card bills
3) Buy my sister and her fiance a house/pay off their loans
4) Set up a college fund for future child(ren)
5) Invest (somehow...)
6) Stop working
7) Go on lots of vacations
8) Um...Invest some more?
9) More preparation for the future so we never have to work
10)...And still more


Oh, god, this makes me sound like such a nerd.

honey If I win I'll pay off my own house and you and Philipp come live with me! All other issues will be minor and hopefully go away....
