6. Well, I spent about half of it...

going solar, the poor, the hungry, education and all that. I'd spend the rest of it to keep the chosen programs going because they would eventually pay for themselves, IMO. The world would be much improved.

Plus, I'd give myself a $3 million fee for being so brilliant. LOL

Good site. Thanks!
