  • You enter a radio contest giving away $1,000,000, just for the hell of it. Later, you receive a call from the station - you've won the million dollars!

    If this was you, who would be the first to hear about it?

    And be serious here, think what you'd do before you answer.

    Chances are that I'd be sitting in front of the computer at the time, so I'd probably annoy my contact list about it and call family and friends immediately after.

    My family, and people on PC maybe? o.o;

    Well, I wish that'll happen. xD But I'll tell my mom first. xD

  • I...am not quite sure, actually. If I weren't thinking rationally, which would likely be the case, I'd probably post a spazzy "OMFG I WON!!11" post on my Livejournal.

    But...that's not the best idea since then people could come and steal all my hard-earned cash. =D; So I'd probably tell my family first and a few close friends, either online or off. And once I'd spent much of it, I'd probably tell the rest of the world or something. XD

  • Probably my family. They're very close, and I would want them to know that I won some money. I don't need computer time to tell them about it. They'd probably try to steal it though. Then, I'd probably post on my LJ, because I usually post about my life in there XD

    My family would be first. My friends may be last due to the fact that they will may stalk me till it's all gone. Or they will make it gone. LJ would be second.

  • I would probably tell my folks and my friends, then I would share my money, I give half to my fam so that they can pay and get a big house, and the other half is for me so that I may go to different places with my buds. It would be cool, I've never gone to Disneyworld so i would love to see it...like they say, sharing is caring.

    Most likely I'd be on the computer, but I'd drop what I was doing and tell my family. I don't know if I would want anyone else to know. XD Maybe a few online people after I get over the shock.

  • Well...

    My imagination:
    (I'm sitting at my laptop doing stuff...)
    Phone: IZ&@!#*(^(^#*
    Me: Hello?
    Radio Guy: You've won the $1 000 000!!!!!!!!
    Kenny: I have?
    Kenny: COOL!!!
    (The Earth shakes.)

    Well... If I did win, everyone would know because I would probably yell really loudly. XD

    I would tell my family first, including calling my mom on the phone to tell her, seeing as how I plan on giving about half the money to them, and the rest to various charitites if I ever did win a large sum of money. ^^

    If I'm next to the radio, or telephone, well, my parents would hear about it first.

  • I totally chose other...

    I did that because...well if I won a million dollars I'd be speechless for several hours...then I'd go outside and run around in my boxers yelling to EVERYONE, I just won a million dollars...and I'm serious about that because I'd be totally rich...who cares what you people think?

    Yeah...that's what I would do..
