Here are 5 things I would do if I won $640 Million:


1. SUPPORT EDUCATION
You may say it's cheesy but education has always been producing remarkable output - be it in content, people or events. Education is one of the hallmarks of our society and I firmly believe that its survival will many in the long run. As a student, I know expensive it's becoming as a result of institutions trying to make earn profits from it. Anyway...

2. TRAVEL THE WORLD

Pack'em suitcases and get ready for those long plane rides and cross cultural interactions. Traveling is always enriching and I just can't wait to have both feet on the 7 continents of the world. 

3. INNOVATE
What makes money truly powerful is that it is tangible tool of trade that determines value for products in a certain situation or context. Currently, we live in a high-tech society that continues to develop and innovate new technologies. Gaining such an amount of wealth can definitely give me a head start to finally try out innovating something remarkable and breathtaking, something no one has ever heard or seen before (e.g. floating cars, flying shoes or invisible electron-based communication system). I assure you. It's gonna be the next big thing.

4. FUNDING FOR ART
If there are people who work so hard and get underpaid, these are the artists. Yes you heard it right. Are you a singer? dancer? writer? actor? musician? or all of the above (Wow, you must be extremely talented!)? If you are then you definitely know what I'm talking about. People don't really realize how much effort we put into rehearsals, research, reflection and all these other processes that allow us to show the audience merely a part of the entire experience - the show. Artists work so hard for their craft and at times, it is their mere passion and the love of their craft that continues to sustain them. But then again, we live in a world where people need to get fed, thus, artists need to get paid. If I'd win the lottery, gone will be the days of the deserving yet 'starving' artists.

5. BUY A PLANET
Build another society for mankind or discover some out-of-this-world life form. Whatever. Wouldn't it be just amazing to have a planet named after you? This is just so random.

How about you? What would you do with $640M?
