...what would you do with them, in no particular order?
For me, I would: 1. Buy the rights to TUGS and get it on DVD. 2. Give some to charity. 3. Start a new build Large Seagull project. 4. Buy a bunch of expensive stuff I can only dream of doing. 5. Buy my own private mansion on my own private island.

What would I do? Hmm... 1. I would also pay off my parents' house. 2. I'd buy the rights to "Thomas the Tank Engine" (who wouldn't?), and other shows, sharing them with their respective creators (and anyone related to them). 3. I'd book a flight to the United Kingdom, taking a few friends with me. 4. Like the above members, I'd also give some money to charity.

Well, first I'd invest it in a bank account with a large interest rate, so that more money is genertaed each year.
Then I'd make regular donations to charities (nice to see that we are all so kind hearted).
And then I'd spent the rest of my life working full-time on heritage railways, since I wouldn't need a paying job anymore. ;D

(This would be more a couple of million)Well I would go to the Ulster Folk and transport Museam, and by the B1a Express Passenger Engine, Slieve Gullion and prehaps a tank engine(For a station Pilot) and start up my own private railway company running Expresses and eventually goods between the main cities in Ireland.
I would'nt give any to charity but I would go to one, look around, ask what they need and buy it for them. (I trust few people.)
If I made loads of money from the Express I would buy the rights for the railway series and hire the Extended Railway series writers to write new stories.

It really depends. Lottery winnings are insanely taxed, but for the purposes of this discussion, I'm going to go with winning a million or so after taxes.
1. Fix up this house, finish renovations, etc. 2. Pay off the mortgage and any debts we might owe on the house. 3. Sell the house, get a new one, not overly huge but comfortably sized. 4. Invest what might remain in copper, gold, and other necessary metals. 5. ?? ?? 6. Profit!

Have fun with $100,000 dollars worth of it. Build me sorta man cave (geek paradise). I'd go on vacation or a nice tropical beach for a few days. Get a condo or townhouse. Buy a really nice Telescope, something like a 10 inch Teeter Planet Killer Dobsonian. Donate a bit to relief efforts, the needy, and steam locomotive restoration projects. Then I'd save the rest in bank account and live normally.

Easy:
1) Get 1 million dollars 2) Convert it to pounds because I'm British you yanks 3) Probably spend a lot of it on dumb stuff 4) Put £1 in a Swiss bank account as a time capsule of my everlasting wealth 5) Buy Thomas and Friends and rename it to Splatter, Dodge, and Friends (much better title) 6) Probably buy a lot of food and have a movie night with friends
7) Give the remainder (£7) to people starving in Somalia 8) Be recognised as a philanthropist and a national hero 9) Start my own for-profit charity where all donations go into my funds 10) Repeat

I would use a majority of it to fund an animated feature film. The rest would mostly go towards renovating my family home.
