Although it's never much, I win it on every single draw.

I never play, so I'm a winner every time.

I dropped $2 on a group ticket at work. If we wn, you are all invited to the party.

I'd put a new radiator in my car, pay off my parent's house and student loans. Then I would create a scholarship for students who want to pursue non-STEM careers and are involved in FIRST programs. I wish there was more available to me when I was on a team and would love to help those who decide engineering might not be for them. Be the change right?
Oh and I'd buy new uniforms for the Cheerleading squad I coach.

Pay off all my debts. Buy a car. Start my business, invest in my cousin's business, help my mom start her non-profit, donate the heck out of a fairly large sum (thinking around $1-mil for each selected charity, which for me, would total roughly $15-mil), and invest some for the future. I don't mind my apartment, so I'd keep that and just do a lot of redecorating.

Anything left would be for toys. Lots and lots of tech toys. :D

The way I figure it, either ya win or ya don't. A 50/50 proposition.

Since this is fantasy, I won't worry about conserving any of it.

I'd make a buncha Year 3 and Year 4 teams pretty happy. I know those were the toughest seasons for us.

I'd create a 'Sports Center' - style show that highlights different STEM competitions.

And a network to put it on.

I'd take about four(ty?) years and tour the world, Anthony Bourdain-style.

I'd purchase thousands of acres of land and let Nature take its course.

I think you'd be able to afford to put a new car around your radiator.
