I would buy a house. It is still a buyer's market out here and I don't want to miss out on having a nice place to live for so little. It would be a modest 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home. Maybe get solar panels on the roof. All the rest would go to making repairs on my car, getting my fiancé a truck, and starting a savings fund for my daughter so she can either go to college, or get a head start in home ownership. Whichever she chooses. You can get a lot for a million here.

A college tuiton lol. Or I'd just save it because I know I'd need it later, like I could buy a nice house or something.
If I won $1,000,000 there is no way I'd buy an education. Who needs education when you're already rich?

I'd take out $100,000 to live on for the first year and put the rest of it in a high interest savings account and live on the interest for the rest of my life. Maybe keep a part time job for a little extra cash and just live on free time, pursue my passions.

I guess financial security is what I'd buy.

Put 500,000 in a CD for 10 years, live off the other 500,000 for 10 years basically doing whatever I feel like whenever I feel like and buying pretty much anything I want, and then also working a part time job doing something I don't mind doing. When the 10 years are up take out the earnings on the 500k then toss it back in for another 10 years and just live off of the interest and my part time wages until it's time to die. Maybe I'll even start hosting a web show and play games or something.

I've always wanted to go to study in the US when I graduate, but it's so damn expensive. So I would get an education. I would have still plenty of money left so I would buy stuff I always wanted(they wouldn't cost that much). Another part I would give to my mom and dad to pay off the debt that they have. If by any chance there's still some money left I would invest it.

Pay of the house loan, buy a second place for me, furnish it, and invest the rest in high profit low risk projects. Then go on a gaming shopping spree.

I would spend some of it to move somewhere i've wanted to, and likely use the rest of it to travel around to other states that have exciting exhibits.

Invest $20k into language school (yay for them being so overpriced but that'd be chump change in comparison to what I would have haha) and use some of the rest for buying a house. I'd live off of the remainder while working a part time job to give myself at least something to do or I'd lose my mind. Simple enough. Whee!

I don't know about Australia but here the best high interest savings accounts will net you a cool 950 over the first year. Not nearly enough to live on!

I'd try to save it for my anime convention, even though in future years I won't use half of it probably. XD Now that my senpai's last year is this year, I can't blow my money on his stickers and stuff like I used to do the next years. :(

I know my friend Sally lost half her hand in a lawn mower accident and got $600,000 on public liability insurance, and that was collecting $40,000 a year every year she was in high school, so for $900,000 that'd be pretty good! America sucks financially speaking :/

Well, I have had a quarter of 1,000,000 dollars already once in my life time. I bought my house, my truck, full furnished the house and after that just wasted the rest of it on paying off bills, Game systems/games, Flat Screens, Expensive Gaming Computer and quite a few other things such as stocking up my house and ect.

I'd invest it and use it to improve my general living conditions for, say, a decade or so. I'm not a fan of big on-the-spot spendings. Also I'd rather rent than buy a house and I don't really like cars that much, so... I'd be happy with having a bonus to add to my salary every month until it ran out.

If I could find something decently priced, I'd buy myself a house and furnishings, hold on to about $50,000 for living expenses, and then stick the rest into savings, investments, etc.

If we're talking the first thing that I'd immediately buy though, I'd probably have to say a snack before work (where I'd probably hand in my two weeks notice, haha).

Things I would need to take care of.
All debts will be paid off, buy a house for mom and dad, move to the old country and buy a farm, get married, start a small business that I would not need to work at and my only job is getting a check every month, save a little of the money for the kids, and finally give some money to charity.
