What would YOU do?

Hypothetical question to any interested parties:

What would you do if you entered a sweepstakes and won a wonderful prize?

There is of course a catch, you are responsible for paying the taxes on the prize (from my quick research usually about 1/3 of the value of whatever you win). Now the prize is valued at something along the lines of one to two million dollars which puts you on the hook for something along the lines of three to six hundred thousand dollars when your taxes come due.

I suppose you can take out a loan, but that is an enormous debt.
You could sell the prize, but that makes you a very sad panda as some people I know would say.
You could even decline the prize I suppose, but that wouldn't really answer the question, just get you out of answering it.

What would you do?

P.S. As I said this is purely hypothetical, I've not won anything recently let alone something worth a million or more.

Look what I found on the train

So I was sitting there on the train when I saw something I didn't didn't expect. At first I thought it was just a piece of gum on the window, but then it moved. When I went to get a closer look I saw that it was a bug that tries to look life a leaf.

Great camouflage (yes I had to look up the spelling of that) in general, but really doesn't work on the train.

Green bug!

The only other place I've seen one of these was when visiting my brother in the Poconos this summer. Didn't realize they were local no NYC as well.

We're up
