Writer's Block: The winning ticket

As this question is specifically about my first purchase, I'll just mention the first actual things I'd do with my winnings, which would include setting aside about 20% of it for taxes, socking at least 25% of it away in some form of savings account (maybe a bunch of Canadian GICs).

My first purchase would probably be a new laptop, like Alienware's M11x, probably decked out with the maximum amount of memory (8GB), fastest processor (Intel Core i7, running at 2.266GHz), and probably buy the largest laptop harddrive I can find (the only drive it comes with is 500GB, unless you go for the solid-state one, which is only 256GB).
(with everything mentioned above and a few extras that I'd consider necessary, it would cost about two thousand dollars. Not sure if it's in Canadian or American dollars, though)

I'd probably have to buy a new backpack or something for it too, as all my current packs aren't rated for that much weight and stuff...

I think I'd give more than half to charities. But I won't know for sure unless I actually win.
