First I'd buy my mom a new house, pay off all her debts and make her comfy so she can retire and not have to work anymore ..
Then I'd pay off all my debts, buy myself a sweet 4x4, then get settled into a nice house somewhere with lots of land so I can go around to all the humane societies and take the older dogs home with me to spend their last few years in comfort.
I'd give a few million to charity too .. I'd donate mostly to charities involving animals and children.
I suppose I'd make my bro comfy too in a nice little house ..
Oh and I'd definitely buy a cute little house in Newfoundland .. possibly look into adopting a pet whale

Hmm... a few things I would do, if for some strange reason, I, a 15 year old girl from no where, instead of her parents, won $30 million. These are just minor thoughts I just thought up.
pay off my parents debts (it's not much, though, but still)... then move. Away from Vancouver. Probly to Nova Scotia...
I should probly think of college/university, so, I'll put that in somewhere...
My parents have always wanted to go back to Argentina to have a little acrage or vinyard or something...
Charities and stuff, of course.
The rest I save for my kids.

if i got out with 30 million after taxes:
i'd like to say i'd give about 25 million to poor/charity/church over the years as i'd see fit... maybe even more than that.
then i'd give a bunch to my parents, let my dad buy the cottage he's wanted forever, give a bunch to other family, blow a couple thousand, buy season tickets for the tigers and maybe save 3 million for my future.
ohhh... good call, i'd probably save a few more million for my kids.

Haha, me and my mom talk about this alllll the time.
Ok. First I would pay off the debt for my parents, grandparents, and my parents siblings (there are only two). Then I'd buy my dad a nice big Dogde Ram, my mom a VW silver bug, my brother a matching Dodge Ram, and me a brand new extended cab Toyota Tacoma. Then I would build my parents their dream home and make them comfortable. Then I would give to charity. Then I would make sure there is enough for mine, my siblings, and my friends' educations. Then I would go shopping with my mom, grandma, and friends. Then I'd invest and save.

1) Pay off debts
2) Make sure I'm all set for university.
3) Spread some around to charities.
4) Do something fun with my friends (probably a huge LAN party, with all equipment provided by me)
5) Stow away the rest so I can forget about it, and find it again 20 years later and say "whoa. That interested really acumulates."

Come on people. You're doing it all wrong. Think Office Space.
I would do nothing. Absolutely nothing.
And you know what? I agree with him completely. I wouldn't do anything!

I'd buy a Best Buy store and fucking fire all the people there that I don't like. Hey, you wanna yell at me for not selling a CD tower to that person? Well, fuck off, you're gone bitch!

humm...I think I would put it all in the bank and get a really durable debit card.
then I would rub it in lots of peoples faces.
then I would fly everyone I know to edmonton, bribe the people there to close their mall for one day and let everyone loose in it with golf carts.
then I think I would hire a hit man and kill bob rock.
...thats all for now.

Heres what I would do:
1. Take Care of my folks- Well I wouldn't fork over money to them but, I'd take very good care of them. They want anything, I'd buy it
2. Family-well since I dislike most of my relatives, they wouldn't get anything. They simply do not deserve it-with the exception of one aunt and uncle and my grandma.
3. Friends-Johnathan will take care of his friends, not that I have many
4. Charity- I'd probably donate some away
5. Invest-I want that money to make money
7. ME- I'd go guitar shopping, buy some Les Pauls, SG's, Chet Atkins SST's, Yamaha AES820, Marshall Amps, Studio effects etc.
8. BUild myself a house complete with a full fleged recording studio with all the latest recording and mixing gear

I'd pay off my parent's debts and stuff and give them a few million to put in the bank. I'd also pay for my dad to have hypnosis therapy to quit smoking. Because it's got to be worth a try, right?
I'd probably give each of my siblings a million - but I'd put in a bond thing so they can't have it until they're 18. Because it would be funny
I'd definitely pay my closest friends and my own tuition fees and living costs for uni - I think that's a really nice idea, whoever said it first.
I'd give some to charity, obviously. I don't know which ones - most definitely human charities, though.
The rest of it, I'd shove in a savings account and watch it grow
