Ok fine: a luxury Winnebago. I'd have a lot of traveling to do.

A nice, big house and a shiny new car.
I'm too practical. I wouldn't go buy some crazy ****. I'd buy a couple of nice cars and a pretty big house and bank/invest the rest.
At the most, I might buy a bunch of MST3K movies and some more Snoopy crap that I don't need.

Land. As much as I could get.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
House in Scotland with stables and an airstrip, plus a good car.
A biger win, I'd add (in order) an apartment in London, NYC and Florence.

I'd buy my freedom from the last 2 days of work that I still do.

And a rack of surfboards.
A boat with an engine for her indoors.
A boat with sails for me.
And a block of the best quality indian hash as big as my head.
that would do it for starters.

It's not a tangible purchase, but I would also travel. A lot.

Would it be one of those old-looking ones with the thatched roof? One of my dreams for retirement is to move to Scotland, out in the country somewhere. I hope it still looks like I imagine it looks when I get old.
My folks bought a stone-built pair of farm-workers' bothies, built some time in the late 1500s in southern Scotland (The walls are granite & 28" thick.) They've converted it into an eco-friendly place that's pretty luxurious.
There's a place nearby with 8 bedrooms and 3 drawing rooms, stables for 4 horses and a heli-pad. 20 acres of woodland, 10 of pasture and a nice trout-lake. Went for under a million a few years back. That's what I have in mind.
I forgot to mention the small Piper single-engined plane I'd have.

A million isn't much these days, you should have just said, "if you could buy any one thing" etc...
Anyway, assuming bills are paid, retirement and all that jazz is covered, I'd buy a nice little Victorian that needed some work, and then build in a bunch of secret bookcase staircases and hidden passages behind artwork with peep holes and complete it with a wardrobe appropriate for my future as the old eccentric lady that's always stealing books from the library for no reason.

Can you fly one? Or would you just have a pilot on retainer?

Ten million is still pretty good, though.

I would live next door to Nexa and tell all the neighborhood kids big grand tales of her life that are totally untrue.
First purchase? Probably an Italian combo on the way home.
But I'd totally go the extra sixty cents for sweet peppers. And get a large root beer.

Make sure you include the part about me surviving leprosy by consuming nothing but lindor truffles and Cabernet for a year and the fact that I'm half bionic.

My wife keeps doing this but it really depresses me since I know it's not gonna happen.
The first thing I'd do is buy a moderately-sized HDTV (36" or so), an HDDVD player (or is Blu-Ray the go-to standard now?) and a good set of Dolby Surround Sound speakers, then the extended super-duper deluxe special edition high-def Lord of the Rings trilogy, a crate of beer and an ounce of pot and waste away a week.
