(make that "Wicca and the lottery)

Ellwood "Bunky" Bartlett, Mega Millions winner and Wiccan priest, is opening up a spiritual community center. 

Question for the day:

If you won millions and wanted to use it for the benefit of the Wiccan/pagan community, what would you do with the money?

Just off the top of my head, I would have a commercial made and run on television of normal looking people, dressed in ordinary clothes, doing normal things or jobs and saying "Hi, I'm a Wiccan."
Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. Marcus Aurelius

If I won the lottery like that, I'd be inclined to donate money to various Pagan charities that already exist and could use the cash.

*grin*  But that doesn't answer the question.  It was "if you want to use it to benefit the Wiccan/pagan community."

As Ben pointed out, there are existing charities that can be contributed to. I might like to open up a shop, though.
