When I win, I'm going to host the next AGN convention. What are YOU going to do when you win?
Take a very long and private vacation.
Buy a whole boatload of advertising for my books. Or possibly a publication company.
...Nah, I'd probably buy a chunk of land and set up a pinetree farm, for paper. It's good for the ozone, too!
On that note, don't you think I deserve free copies of your books?
On paper? No. But every 90 days I have free promotions for the Kindle versions. In fact, Tales of My Brother, Vorpal, and Cayenne Quarry are all free RIGHT NOW. You can follow the links in my sig if you want.
If I win? Sounds corny but... I would invest at least half. You hear way too often about people who win the big jackpots and years down the road have nothing. Not the way I want to go. But I wish I suddenly had some more money to pay off my other debts and school loans. It would be nice to actually save money for a change.
I would invest my money in such a way that I would never have to work again. I'm not going all out and buying a huge house or expensive cars or anything. I just want to be able to fund my future children and my video game addiction.
I've read it's advised to take 10% of your winnings and blow it. Go on a shopping spree. Give it away to friends. Light your Cuban cigars with $100 bills. Then when you find that money's all gone (like, the next week), you still have 90% of it you can do something smart with.
I'm gonna buy like 50 houses and rent them all out and never work again.
If I ever won... I would most likely move from my current location to somewhere I could get broadband, I would buy myself a a really freaking nice computer.
and then pay off a lot of my bills and buy me a Dodge Charger for the random hell of it :P
