I wouldn't tell you lot about it. 
I would, however, be able to go and catch these 20kt Westerlies on Wednesday afternoons in business hours instead of being trapped at work.
What would you do?
I suppose I would have to put a couple of you blokes on my payroll ... so I would have someone to sail with when I felt like it.
any takers?
fruit bowl of cocaine and twenty of the dirtiest skankiest hookers that ply the trade
A Van full of new gear
Ide buy a huge block, build a slightly less huge shed on it, have my own indoor windsurfing pool! make a whole bunch of rotating scoops on the roof so when its actually windy outside i can catch and funnel the wind into it.
when its not windy the jumbo fans will do.
then ide invite all my windsurfing buddies round n we would drink sail n be merry. in no particular order.
then ide travel all over the world sailing the best spots all year round.
aaah yess i think about this evrery day at work when im upto my elbows in crusty old grease and crap from under forklifts.
Got this in my email yesterday... seemed appropriate 
A husband says to his wife, "what would you do if we had a Lotto win?"
She says, "I'd take half then leave you."
"Excellent," he replies, "I won 12 bucks, here's $6 now Eff off!"
90 million invested conservatively would get you about $70K to $90K a week after tax. Not sure if I'd quit work as I enjoy working with my colleagues. Realistically I'd probably hand in my resignation sooner than later.
Not sure what I'd do with the money though I'm sure Wind Surf and Snow would have a good month every year.
I would disappear overseas for my 50th birthday (which is coming up).
Buy my three kids a house each.
Then go shopping.
.... I'd probably realise that bags of money can't buy you love or friendships, or a simple contentment with what you have worked to achieve.
Have a seabreeze party in/on Maui.
Actually I'd wait until the next lotto is drawn, for 1 mil or so, and tell everyone I'd won that one, gets around a lot of problems. I've really thought this through, getting my money's worth out of the ticket.
Go crazy with $1M, start my own business (maybe two) and then invest the rest in a lot of different areas so if there's a market slump in any particular area it doesn't hurt your profits too much.

I'd buy me one of those forestry companies that operates in old growth forests. Close that side of the business and begin operating in one of the already deforested areas. Of course that means planting the trees and waiting for them to grow first, so all the people would be employed in revegetation projects instead of logging!
Oh, and I would build kick arse MTB trails everywhere.
I'd buy New Zealand. Then i could snowboard all winter and visit the poor folks in Oz to kite all summer. I'd also drink copiuos amounts of sav blanc and pinot noir so I'd need a bigger kite/board size to carry my burgeoning guts around.
Realistically (like winning 90m isn't??) I'd pay off my fam's mortgages and send them on a long holiday (ha ha - not the same holiday as me though!). Invest the $$$ sensibly and try to live a modest but waaayyyy relaxed life.
keeping a small amount for myself.......I would then line the rest up like domino's.. and burn the bloody lot.....so that others would not be tempted

I'm with GreenPat.. I wouldn't tell anyone.
Invest it in land and some commercial property, and be anonymously generous with the profits.
Interesting how lotto keeps jackpotting and is worth so much more than ever before in the middle of a "recession"..
NZ's biggest ever prize was won by a single player last night - $36.1 million.
Record sales pushed it up an extra 6.1 million above the $30 million cap that it was meant to have.
That's a lot of coin for one person!
Work is still getting in the way: it's been green arrows all day and not a chance of any water time. Bring on the $90m...
I'd buy Pat an AFL membership too - just so he cans see a real game of 'footy' up close. He can buy his own pies though - 90mill only goes so far..
Give $2k to anyone under 16 years of age who can plane out of a carve
That's 45000 kids that would take up windsurfing just for the cash. It beats having a summer job
90mil is ridiculous. The way I figure, 500,000 bucks is life changing for most people. Enough to pay off the house and thus be set for life.
When they have a jackpot that size, it should be 10mil for 1st division and the other 80 can be shared by all second division winners. That way, it is a lifechanging event for 100ppl..... not one person getting so so much.
After the initial shock and subsequent recovery the arguments would start.
Who would be most deserving of gifts and how much those gifts would be. Friends and family would disown me in disgust that i didn't give them a deserving amount.
After spending copious amounts on a house that is too big cars that never get driven and hundreds of other over priced consumables that i didn't really need the boredom of not having to do anything (now have servants) would set in.
Serious alcohol abuse would kick in at some point and probably chronic drug use, remember excessive cocaine is gods way of telling you that you have too much money.
Soon after this my wife would leave me in disgust taking all the money, the dog and the kids as i had turned into a drug fuelled alcoholic paranod mess who has now developed serious health problems.
Eventually i would find myself wandering the streeets of perth rambling to myself incessantly and ocassionaly having periods of florid psychosis owning nothing but the rags on my back.
I am however willing to take the chance and put this theory to the test.
