I know I would want to travel (and get out of debt - I would never allow myself to borrow for anything ever again, so I'd have to be smart with my money, even though I know it's an exorbitant amount). I'd take about $40 mill to blow and put the rest in the bank so that I could live off the interest each year. There are quite a few charities that I would donate to each year, and I'd like to pick something really small to donate a large sum to, like my church's preschool or something. And I'd buy an loaded Range Rover. :D Oh, those are good, Sandy!

I would still get a day job in addition to writing, but I suppose I wouldn't stress as much about it.
