This just to see the stuff you immediately want but don't have money for, because obviously you would start thinking about stuff you didnt even want that much before hitting the lottery. But if you just did, what immediately would come to mind or what stuff were do you currently want that you'd no longer have trouble gettinng given you won? For me:

A car and a damn good one at that
Halo 2
GTA:SA (currently no money for these two which scares me)
a huge list of dvd's I've wanted to get for a long time
Tons of food, got none in the house. Probably pay someone cause I hate shopping
season Bear tickets
season Cubs tickets and an apartment in the city next year
A girlfriend ("I just hit the lottery")
New clothes
A personal plane and flyer to visit the many places I've wanted to
baseball playoff tickets, preferably for a game at Fenway for the 1st round
Pay off entire college fees
Buy a lot of graphic novels
Upgrade my whole home theater set up to the highest standards, hell, build a home theater on an extension. Completely sound proof
Get my family and best friends some money for the shit they want

I would by an awsome little pad, pimp it out with cool AV/computers stuff and a sweet stainless steel grill and a jacuzzi. And a minibar.

First thing that comes to mind? Paying off my parents' mortgage, then my siblings' university bills. Everything else is secondary.

...then some cool friends!

I'd also buy myself and all my family/friends cruise tickets and have a nice little vacation...that'd be sweet.

Panzer Dragoon Saga. Sealed. So I can open it and play it new.

It wouldn't be a purchase, but the first thing I'd do with my money is donate some to my grandma's Widows & Widowers group.

I'd start up my own publishing press. I'd travel all over the world and buy several homes. I've always wanted a house in, say, Barcelona. Either that or I'd become a total recluse and live on an island somewhere and become even more eclectic and distrubed.

Oh yeah...how much we talkin about? $10 million? $50 million. $100 million?

whatever you need for the stuff that first comes to mind. Things you always wish for. I mean, you're lucky enough to win a lottery my guess would be that you were lucky enough for whatever you wanted most.

The large penthouse that's my unoccupied neighbour right now.

Then depending on the amount of money, a game development company, a company aiming for personal display units... or just live a life of relative luxury.

A van down by the river.

And I'd probably buy out my local game store just for kicks. A copy of Katamari Damacy for everyone I know.

Purchase some land so I can build a sweet ass house filled with a 52" TV with an Xbox, GCN, and PS2. Then I'd get a sweet ass computer decked out. Then I'd be fine.

I went to Ireland and saw this castle. It was dissapointing, they actually painted the entire inside with white paint where all the other castles were natural stone. The Blarney castle is cool though, the stone is not. Not the most exciting trip ever but was the most expensive. Just alot of sight seeing.

Heh...while this sounds great in theory, what makes you think you're gonna find two NON-slutty/pro/skanky-like chicks to join you in a threesome just cause you throw some money in their face? Unless of course you give 'em like a few hundred thousand or more....then maybe.
