I'd just put it in the bank.  :)  I'm a saver...

Exciting stuff right?

That’s what I’ll most likely end up doing,  But I kinda don’t want to bank it.  It’s different seeing such a wad of cash in my safe.  It’s odd how we’ve strayed so far away from actual cash.  I feel like I’m a drug dealer!



Use 200 $ for more betting
Use 400 $ for a ho
Use 1000 $ for a upgrade of you rig or telly
Use 1000 $ for a bbq
Use 400 for a fridge and good meat
Save rest

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Save it. As others have said, anything can happen. If you must, spend a little but save most of it.

Bank it. Plenty of online only banks that give you decent interest monthly. I have one that gives me 4.25 percent as long as you use it for one transaction per week. It would be at a still decent 3.75 otherwise. I actually get more money using that bank account to pay for my fuel than if I didn't.

Probably the most boring answer here but.... Money.

1.  I’m not really a gambler so I don’t feel the need to return.

2.  I’m married and, gross.

3.  I have a 4K TV and I don’t really game on PC other than World of Warcraft which my rig plays just fine.  I’m a console person.

4.  I have a good one already.

5.  Come to think about it, I could use a stand alone freezer.



Go to Japan, SK, HK, Australia, etc.

Set up emergency fund.

Buy a months supply of your favorite drink or food.

Buy a bunch of games, I know I could spend that much :).

Buy new furniture or a shed or something.

Donate to charity or me.

1.  Meh, none of those places excites me as vacation destinations.

2..  Got one.

3.  I think I’m buying a freezer to do a variation of this.

4.  Other than games that haven’t launched or have

been formally announced yet, there’s nothing I need.

5.  I could use a new living room chair.  Good tip.

6.  Charities are mostly a scam and while I’m sure you’re a lovely person - no.



Perhaps a paper shredder, a keurig coffee maker, a nice futon or papasan chair, living room rug, have your car detailed inside and out. I definitely wouldn’t blow it all though.
