I'm too much of a goody goody for this one, so in real life I'd let him know. But let's just say hypothetically that the GM is like hey it's all good, you keep it - i.e. Phoebe and the bank that keeps giving her money in "Friends" - what would I do with it? Well, my church is replanting right now and about to fundraise $150-200k so I'd make that goal a breeze first of all. Then I'd set up a college fund for my kiddo and a retirement fund for me and the Mrs. That'd probably take, oh I don't know $2 million if I'm being VERY generous on retirement. So that leaves another $2 million to have fun with. I would probably use a portion to pay my mortgage and buy a couple new cars, but most of it would be spent on others. How can I make someone's day would be the question I have on repeat. Someone who is down on their luck and needs to make rent this month? How about we pay it for the year and help them save for something else. Someone is facing the prospect of having to drop out of college? Not anymore, they have a full ride. $2 million could legitimately change 100s of people's lives, and for it to have been excess money means I didn't have plans for it, so why not? In fact, were I ever to make this much money legitimately I would absolutely do the same thing. And it would be a freaking blast.
