    OP should have specified Brewster’s Millions rules to avoid all the boring answers

      For anyone else wondering:

      Brewster may not own any assets that are not already his at the end of the 30 days. He must get value for the services of anyone he hires, he may not willfully damage or destroy any intrinsically valuable items he buys, he may donate 5% to charity and lose 5% more by gambling, and he cannot give any of it away.

      If I had a month maybe I could go on some crazy expedition, but in a day I’m just losing the rest of that money. I don’t even know if I could do 1000; anything I can think of that charges hundreds on the spot sounds like more pain than benefit. Either because I wouldn’t enjoy it, or because it’s just super cringe.

      (The book/play allowed more wiggle room)
