His doctor says that if he does not change his ways, get more exercise and eat healthier foods, that he has a 1 in 3 chance of having a fatal heart attack. "I'll take my chances," says the hapless man. Later the man goes to his corner store and buys a lottery ticket. The clerk reminds him that is chances of winning are 1 in 18 million.

For students of ALL ages without health insurance. If I won a fair amount of money, I'd mostly do selfish things that would allow me to give back to my community at a later time. (Buy a new car, get a house, student loans... blah, blah, blah). Travel is a must when winning a lump sum. I think Jay would vote for a ninja, too, but hey-- it's MY money!

And taking trips, blah blah blah. Mostly paying people to get them to do what I want.

I prefer the way of the Samurai). Plus I'd buy a day spa and just get massages and facials all day.
