628095 2008-01-08 01:28:00 Pctek: Are you certain about that? With that sort of money, you would not need to fix PCs because you needed to but because you wanted to. So why not fix PCs in Germany or France?


Positive.

France:
Population: 63,195,000
SqKM: 543,965

Germany:
Population: 82,172,000
SqKM: 356,840

NZ:
Population: 4,027,947
SqKM: 268,671

Why the hell would I move? I like my house, I like the fairly empty area I live in.

Probably buy sister a house
Buy a new car, do up current one as well
And then probably invest the rest (maybe a few rental properties as well) and keep working

628097 2008-01-08 02:44:00 I'd set up 2 trust funds, each with a million dollars in it, I would call together mine and the wifes families, I would tell them they have a million dollars to destribute between each family, That none of them to ask for more money, and that if any of them dare approach us at any time, they will be shot.

Then I'd have em shot, The trust fund crap would never work.

Alas, pay then what they're worth, and you would be broke in a month. :(

Could I suggest new rose spectacles?

A villa in Spain would be nice,I love the flamenco.

628100 2008-01-08 05:32:00 I'd give a quarter of it to family, 1 mill each to Women's Refuge and 1 to Auckland Mission. Buy a big house, a medium size boat, a Porsche Cayenne twin turbo, give a bunch more to friends and invest the rest. I'd carry on working as I do from home.
You'd need a good portion of that 12M to run the Cayenne, the way the price of oil is going... :)

628101 2008-01-08 06:59:00 hmm i believe you guyz made some good choices. TO BE HONEST if i won 12M, i would pay my mother's mortgage and give her about 10m. I love my mum as i love my brother.( I will also give 500k to my bro ). Families first then me and if i have some money left why not give to the poor or make a donation? Oh and friends... grahic (12930)
628102 2008-01-08 07:09:00 With 12 mil there would be plenty to ensure my closest friends and family never have to worry about money again & still have a large investment for myself. I would invest with SBS unlike whoever said they wouldn't keep their money in the country.

And I would replace all the wooden boats at the rowing club with top of the line lightweight ones :)

You have to support the locals.

628103 2008-01-08 07:17:00 I'd get a big new Ducati, or maybe a Harley, and also a small runabout motorbike or scooter.

The other ideas above sit well with me also, giving to charities, helping friends and family, living overseas, holidays, houses, etc.

One thing I would not do is to waste a few hundred thousand going for a space flight like that silly real estate women on the S Island.
