Let's say you won the lottery and your take-home after taxes was $50million. What would you do? I assume most would quit their day jobs. But would you do something in design related?

First, I'd hire the best financial planners, accountants and lawyers so I didn't fritter all the money away.
Then, in no particular order:
Take my kids on an overseas holiday every summer – paying my ex, or take her to court for custody.
Start a design studio, and set it up so that I could spend time travelling and working overseas. I'd also have in house screen printing, letterpress, foiling and lasercutting facilities just because :D
Improve my Japanese and spend 6 months in Japan as an Uchi Deshi at a respected Karate dojo.
Get married, finally. :)
Climb some mountains (including Fuji and Kilimanjaro).
Spend up big on Cameras, lenses, tripods etc. and explore photography like I've always wanted.
Set up a foundation to help educate and supply housing and the best medical care to Aboriginals, as well as to help preserve their language and cultures.
I'd be just as or even busier than I am now :)
- I forgot the houses in several countries and meeting heaps of QBNers... and lots of other stuff.Amicus
