Leave it for a month or two and if it's still there after that I'd pay off of my bills and get a drivers license.

I would run for an isolated area and NOT take the money because I'm sure who ever put the money there wants me to do something vague like "save our country" or something.
My apologies, next time I discuss money, I'll be sure to include conversions to every single currency on this planet. ^_^King of Asgaard said:

Interest collection does seem to be the most popular, and sensible option. xD
Time to investigate the source of the money very carefully and discreetly.
SOMEONE messed up big time, and I aim to find out who. While I'm at it, I want to know the history of this sum of money. Is it a nice swath of corporate income? A payment or deposit for something? Could it be someone's lucky day at the lottery (and not-so-lucky day at bank deposits)? Is it clean and legitimate or is it perchance a sum of funds embezzled, misappropriated, and/or laundered?
I'm going to find the contact info for the bank's bookkeeper, contact them directly, tell them about "a possible sum of misplaced money that you should look into" and schedule an appointment with them in their office to discuss the details. There we could look through the records and get to the bottom of this.
Most possibilities end up with me putting the money back where it belongs. If perchance the money is legitimately mine for whatever reason, I'm going to try my hand at the stock market.

I don't have much of an answer....that shocks me.
I'd get my parents a better life. Can't think of much after that.

Leave it to collect interest in case someone with authority comes to take it back, it's honestly not enough to flee the country on considering how much a house costs, let alone a false identity and travel costs.
Pretty much, yeah.twistedmic said:
After that is done and through I'll make damn sure to keep it a secret in my family.
My criminal record is squeaky clean, and a big blob of shame added to it is not worth a million dollars. I'd report it immediately.
First of all, I didn't read anywhere in the question about it being attained illegally,or showing up in a bank account. So I'm going to assume that this money is attained only through good fortune,and entirely on the up, and up. As to what I would do with such a wondrous blessing. I would pay off my student loans, my home, a note I've been trying to pay off from my father. I would then by a vehicle that could be used to haul the types of materials needed to restore my home..I love my home,and wouldn't trade it for any new one in the world. It was built by the first rural physician to open a practice in this rural area. It was passed over so many times, although all I hear from community members is,"We love your home,and wish we could of bought it,and restored it." I've even heard,"I would of loved to buy that place,and remodel it." (Word's that incite a clenching horror in my throat) It's so obvious from the very traditional lines,and the squareness to the beautiful woodwork in my home that this man was very practical, but had a eye for the beauty in the grain of oak. I can see that,and sometimes I can almost feel his presence. He actually saw patients in what is now the living room, and a medium sized interior room was his exam room. It's closet has large built in cabinets. These housed the tools of his trade. As you can imagine were very limited in 1900.
I would then restore the beautiful yard,and rose gardens. Some plants, although very few remain to this day. Especially the azaleas. I can see this man's draw,and love of plants. It's very much like the medicine he practiced. If you think of a flower as a seed, bulb, or rhizome. It's newly planted to spring forth,and give us a beautiful life. Same as a newborn human being. Then it's a challenge because of all the ailments that could attack it, to keep it alive. It's a beautiful challenge every day. It's worth the work,and effort,and time devoted to it daily.
I would add a small pond. And that's it on the frugality of spending. I would invest,but I would hire a trusted, and tried, honest financial planner,, and that would be to invest money only to continue for as long as possible what I woud do next. And that would be to teach gardening in every community that would allow me to, and the ones that wouldn't. Maybe even by a razed lot that was being used to the detriment of a community to help the youth,& others learn to grow their own sustainable food source, and how to use any excess to help those in the community. For instance, the elderly, or infirm. I wouldn't stop with vegetable's either. I would have to teach those how to grow,and care for any type of flora,trees, etc. I would love to also start a program for the restoration of older homes,and buildings. If it could be lived in,and was built with the exceptional craftsmanship that the majority of structures were built in the past, then most of the time these homes can be restored using recycled materials at a fraction of the cost of building a home. Why not if you had that kind of money? Why not teach so many of the fundamentals lost over these last few generations, and the hard satisfying work that comes with it. I would encourage all drug treatment, including alcohol,& mental health clientele to attend these workshops,& community projects..The good that could be done with that amount of resource would leave a persons heart,and soul beyond fill-filled. To leave this world knowing the good you were able to restore, and build would be priceless. So after weighting this, it's obvious I wouldn't keep much at all, but to do the things I listed above. The rest would be used to do good deeds. When you look at the world around you,and you can see the destruction happening. You can also see that greed,and foolishness haven't any place,nor good outcomes. So why not do what is right? Ahhh, to do those things, and to leave such a legacy of so many good things,but most importantly self reliance,and kindness to do so behind.. Yes, I should snap out of it. It's only a mysterious leap of a dream, but it made me smile for the time it took to write this,and dream of kind deeds.

Well after wrighting a novel on what I would do with the money. I'm a new user, so please excuse my oversight in seeing the original thread. I was reading on further down. No excuse for not seeing it. So my apologies, esp. since I said,"I didn't see where it was attained thru any fradulant means, or that I didn't see where it was left in my bank account by accident. You would notify the bank immediently. No amount of money is worth a prison sentence, or your name, or ethic's or morels. ~
