$1 million isn't alot any more. Having that much money is generally enough for a comfortable  house and flashy car.

I'd spend it on Coco Pops and drugs :D

Because you have to start living in the real world.

And...I'd probably use all that for shopping. Yum, like buying that Cintiq tablet from Wacom.
Or cute outfits, whatever. Some would go to school and traveling.

Move to nevada, buy a few acres, buy a .50BMG, buy a bullet press and build a moat around my house. The rest'd go to ammo, vegetable crops, food and maybe start a small smithing business. Fuck the bank, they've fucked me over before, and I don't trust the bank.

Move to Iceland and build an ice castle near the glacier of Vatnajökull!  Then I'd be so freaking kvlt, Fortid would be begging to come to my castle to hang out with me.  But noo, I'd just be like pshh, this is MY castle, bitches.  And they'd be all, "But Shea, son of Craig" in their awesome nordic language, "Thor is with us, let us enter".  And I'd be all, "Ahh alright, but remove your shoes".  And then they'd be afraid because the floor is ICE!!!!

I'd get it in USD because it's worth more plus everything is cheaper in the USA compared to here. I'd buy a car. Buy an awesome computer. Buy serviced apartment. Invest. (I'd buy the best russian bride money can get, too ;))

OR

I'd buy a flame thrower and plane tickets to Iceland...

I'd create a harem.

Joking aside, if 1 million dollars just suddenly fell out of the sky, I'd use some of it to fulfill my fantasies (including, but not limited to: A professional full time clan, much like a job, clan players get paid and stuff. I'd go and dominate everything using these soldat super soldiers and stuff.) Then I'd spend some on investment, then some more on education, and save the rest for a rainy day when all the money runs out.

a million dollars could still get my ice castle.  but spyder's idea is pretty far fetched for a milll.  my dad's house is worth a million dollars, at least that's the value it's taxed at.  and it certainly doesn't have a pool or golf courses or basketball courts.

i don't think it cost that much to make a basketball court or a golf course.  I would be happy if I have one of those places around my dream house :)

So we have a second house in the Blackhawk Hills, California, and that alone is worth 1.5 million dollars, and it's the smallest house in the area, with four bedrooms.

Hey, it's California; everything here is overpriced.

What the stink happened to my other post?

Anyways, as I said in that one, with a million dollars I'd buy a fur coat, but not a real fur coat.


Then pretty similar to what some other people said, such as buying house, computer, car, nice things and all that. Pretty standard I think. O yeh, in pounds.

Hmm... I might put it into a few stock market shares and wait for profit. And maybe, if I get media coverage, I guess I'll have to give some of it to charitiy, so... any appeal to bring more to the poverty stricken if that is the case.

Once the money comes out of the stock market (lets hope my luck won't fail me then, if it does happen), I'll spend it on something special. Or blow it all on one horse race (and if I win, I'll keep it locked away until I die, and give someone clues to get it through my will, but I can tell the value will have depreciated by then).

Invest in jet packs and paint guns for real-life Soldat!  :D Although I don't think I could rocket boost from an explosion of paint at my feet. :D

Because you have to start living in the real world.
I'd probably use all that for shopping.

Ooooh. Someone is har'har'larious.
So the real world doesn't shop? Buy clothes? Buy some furniture? I see...
Based on what a lot of these individuals have said...They'll be shopping for quite a few things.
Plus, I'm a girl, that doesn't make any sense to you still?>:( :P

i think you cant get any dumber than this.

anyway assuming i'll get a million in my own currency which is NIS (4nis = 1$)
i'll get a brand new 06' Ford GT, then spend a fuckload in tuning it up and upgrading\improving parts of it (INTERNAL, not those gay ass skirts and body kits).

anyway i'll have something like 200k nis left, so i'll get a cute little house with a medium size yard and a pool.

with anything left i'll buy as many hair-wax as possible.

Shame on you. Yes, you can spend millions on shopping. Where have you been living :P
First I'd love my cintiq wacom tablet, so that's $3000 off already. I think it could all slip away quite easily, and I never said it'd all go to shopping at a mall. :(

Are beotches included in this "currency"?
In that case, I'd get a million beotches. They would serve as my hoes, and I'd be their pimp.
They would make me rich.
Also, I would get a haircut like the one on Shadow G-Unit's avatar, to keep it real, yo.
