What would you do with $100,000 if you won Hawaii?

• Donate some to my favourite charities, including www.survival-international.org
• Pay off my insane student loans. think my current debts are 98,000 hmm(Think the bank manager would make me).
• Put some towards my wedding/honeymoon. I want to do the Himalayan 100mile stage race on honeymoon and travel.
• Put some into a Sports Aid Foundation like MSAF
• If any left after sorting out my family/friends
• Maybe a deposit on a piece of land where I can live and build a cabin
• Rest would go into keeping me training/racing-maybe in a RV
• Oh yeah, and world peace, of course =0)
