What would you do?

Hello,

Recently, I have been reading a lot of blogs about web design and development and a question came to my mind - What would you do if you won the lottery? Would you continue doing web-design/programming? If you would, would you continue working with clients or in a company or just do projects as a freelancer?

Even though I am new to the industry, personally for me, it's about learning and not the pay that will come with it, the same for my design work and photography that I do from time to time. I think that I would just invest more in my gear, but that's about it.

Have you ever given it a thought? I would like to hear your comments, especially from guys who are deep in the web development industry.

In a simplest answer, id keep the money in the bank until i earn that much. See if i can do it. Plus, this is like a hobby, im not doing it for money, when a client wants website, he pays me to have fun lol.

If anything else, id use the money for my health , and food. But i want to achieve it. From 0.

Id probably get a mentor every day for 1-2 hours for discipline and programming its self. When i get a job in the industry, i wont care how much, i have much bigger vision/goal to accomplish. In the job id be learning and after i have enough knowledge, proceed tao the next level, my own business.
