There's a new show out called Windfall. I think its on NBC, but with cable packages and TiVo these days, it seems to get harder to keep track of the network name on a show.

The show tracks a group of friends and the impact of winning over $300m. Think 90211 with $300m to be fought and shared - it even has Luke Perry.

Personally, with a windfall, I'd look to acquire a beautiful but private area somewhere in the mountains or by a lake. I'm over cooked on the notion of living in urban areas jam packed with people. As I get older I'm trying to establish, maintain and reconnect with the people that are and have been important to my life. With a windfall of loot, this would be more difficult as more people might be hunting me for the wrong reasons, but at the end of the day part of what it takes to be happy is to have happy family and friends. Money can't buy happiness but it can help facillitate bringing people together and overcoming the financial obstacles of travel, maybe even jobs.

My dream has always been to create a foundation where I could work with the people important to me, something in common cause putting all the potential of my family and friends and myself to the best purpose. I guess that's pretty close to the description of an idealistic fantasy, but that's what I'd shoot to achieve.

I'd personally probably travel and take up the study of archaelogy and biomedical research. :)
