Answer 8

I would give it in scholarships to those who are financially strained, yet make too much money to receive grants from the government. From someone who has had several problems getting through school because of financial problems, I know that it would boost alot of people's self esteem who have to work, but whose incomes might be right at the threshold of being misqualified, and it would help the upper lower class people and the economy as well since they would contribute more to the economy. Also, it would definately give them a higher quality of living.

Invest it in some high grossing CD's at the bank, then use the annual interest every year for various charities. That way the money keeps growing and is always there.
