I'd probably keep a quarter of it, then put the rest into a CD or bond and make more money out of it!

Well, a bond is basicily loaning the government money. In return for loaning them the money they will pay you back in a certain amount of years (5, 10, 20, 50, etc.) with interest. I'm not sure if Italy has it. Do you know? A CD (Certificate of Deposit) is where you put a minimum amount (usually $500) into a bank account for a certain amount of years, and like a bond, the bank pays interest on the CD and you get that back when your yearly period is up. You can also add money to it at any time although you cannot take it out.

Part of it, I'll give to my parents.... Another part to my favorite causes like Greenpeace. Part of it, I'll invest and save. And best of all, I'll get a house with a very big room for a library and fill it with books. I can also travel to a lot of places.

Hello fellow bookworm! Yes, I certainly meant a library. I want to need ladders to get to the top bookshelves :D

I would build three upscale resort homes, and one main house, and go into business immediately offering vacation hide-aways for folks who can afford them! In fact, this is in my plans right now! :)

WOW! Just looking at your avatar I can imagine how you will set these homes out - great idea with potential for big returns

I would first invest in something or start something that would always have money coming in to me.I would then buy a modest home and a modest car. A million dollars don't last forever if you spend it foolishly.

I agree with you, it won't last if spent foolishly. I ahve watched people come into big money and just spend it and then months after they are struggling to pay rent

But if ever? oh!! well, maybe the first thing is to have a house and save for the education of my children. what abut you? do you have any plan of how to spend that money if you won that?
