What would you do/buy with it?

I'd either use it to pay for school, start a new business ( a sports bar) or some combo of the two. What about you>

Save it, and live off of what interest it generates.

Illegal bank accounts. :P

But seriously, I'm still in high school, so I don't really need all that much money currently. The interest that it generates is certainly not enough to live off of in the "real world," but for me, it would work just fine for the time being. Then, when I'm done with high school, I can use the money to pay for college.

School probably. Even though my father is going to be paying the bill, I think I should pay for it if I can.

Pay for my funeral fully, pay off some bills, give some to my mother so she quit worrying about getting too old to work, and most likely move someplace where no one knows my name.

Put 80k of it in something with reasonable interest that I can't touch for a decade, and use the remaining 20k to suppliment my income until then.

I'd save most of it, but I'd use some of it for fun activities this summer and then for textbooks in the fall.

Is a thirty-five million percent annual return reasonable? Then, maybe you'd like to invest in my new ponz- I mean hedge fund. :D

I'd definitely pay off all my debts and just invest the money somewhere safe. I have enough junk that I know if I went on a shopping spree I'd just waste the money on crap I don't really need. Guess I'm boring like that :P

I'd use it to get my own place most likely as things are right now. Whatever is left I'd use for travel and personal interests.

That £100,000 would go towards me living comfortably at University for the next three years. And if I have money left over by the end (which I really should do) I'll use that for my driving lessons. Then bank the rest.

I'm conflicted on these questions. Part of me wants to burn the money. The other part of me think it would be wise to invest in some form of technology or way of life that would benefit others. And then the third part of me would want to use it on useless stuff to make up for the inadequacies my societies pressure places on me. But in the end.. I'd most likely give it away to family members or friends who were in a bind.

I would pay off my parents mortgage and do some repairs on their house, and I would treat myself to a new car - maybe two actually, just an everyday thing for work etc. and a ridiculous, more expensive convertible for cruising. And the rest (which wouldn't be much) I'd squirrel away or spend on Premium Bonds or something.

I'd go on a $10,000 drinking/coke/strippers binge, followed by purchasing a car that I spend way too much money on, and then pay off my student loans with the rest. I might even have around 10K left for a drinking/coke/strippers binge part II.

Buy a new classical guitar, an electric organ and maybe a new motherboard & CPU but otherwise save pretty much most of it. Never know when I might need it.
