Mega Million jackpot at 1/2 billion dollars #1

Ok, here's the deal; my fiancee bought a MegaMillions lottery ticket yesterday. It has now topped 500 million dollars. She promises that if she wins I can quit my job, have the cars professionally detailed, (including the engine bay), get a Belgian Shepherd, and take 1/2 of the winnings to donate to the charities or situations of my choice.
All that and home cooking too!
I'm lucky and I know it.

What would you do?

I'd buy my woman some real pretty underwear, Yes Sir, that's what I'd do.

And the naked horses & MEAN Shetland Ponies???

1968 MGB Purchased already dis-assembled which is why I'm often ignorant about what some parts are, and even more ignorant of where they go.

Donate to charities, scholarship funds at both alma maters, fund the scinece department at my school--the low performing schools get extra money that the high performing schools can't access, pay off the house and buy a house in the mountains, pay for things for family--houses, cars..., donate to more charities, buy a few cars I've always wanted...

I don't know if i could quit work since I enjoy what I do.

I'd buy the town of Wanatah Indiana and change the name to MG City. Free drinks on me at the local bar for anyone driving an MG.

And if I don't win--free drinks anyway. Just let me know when to expect you.

Buy MGE from Skye.

"Now the problem you have is that when you have the unerring certainty of machinery, it is a machine. When something has foibles, it won’t handle properly, that gives it a particularly human quality because it makes mistakes. And that’s how you can build a relationship with a car that other people won’t get."

X2 - Good one, Steve!

Mary, I couldn't buy the company I work for now, the owner would still be richer, besides, they've been very nice folks to work for. BUT, I might buy the company I USED to work at and tell the boss there to kiss my @$$ if he wants to stay gainfully employed!

Fund a good number of charities benefitting children and the elderly.
Get all of my family out of debt.
Spiff the house up.
Get a nice place with some acreage, build a nice house with a big garage, get the cars on my wish list.
Travel some.
Find more charities to fund.
Endow some scholarhips for worthy kids in need.
Not get any Shetland ponies, I hear they're mean.
