You can’t give it away or invest it, that’s cheating.
When I first read that I thought it said Wetherspoons voucher  |

 no. Books!
OK, investment, fair... why can't I give to charity? I do charity work and it's important to me. Can I buy a thing for my charity (or several things)? |

First off, a house. Nothing massive, 3/4 bedrooms, nice gardens, two car garage with an upstairs bit for the mancave. Then furniture for said house. And a couple of cars and bikes. I’d get my private pilot’s licence, and maybe my own little aeroplane to buzz around in. That sounds like around about a million to me.
Also, I’d love to rock into the poshest, snootiest car dealership I could think of. Rolls Royce, Aston, something like that, in my work gear. Boots, hi vis, the works. And wait until they’ve all judged me accordingly before I flash my bank balance at them and walk out.  |

I guess so.... it’s an interview question on creativity and passion and investing and giving away isn’t very creative but if your passionate about the chairity then you can buy them something   |

Buy a decent bit of land, and pay contractors, builders etc up front for building fully eco house, with possibly a small holdings for guests. Don't think there would be much change from that |

Oh, for an interview I'd talk about why the charity is important to me, how it helps the community, and how buying xyz would contribute to their mission in the following ways.
I'd probably leave out clothes and makeup |

I want my pilots licence too, there’s a guy who did it stoozing credit cards and never paid a penny interest though , so you dint need £1million, you just gotta want it bad enough... |

Invest it in something like Coca Cola and live off the dividend payments which would equal around £32,000 per year.
That’s more than a lot of salaries, I’d still keep my job, but I’d up my pension payment to something ridiculous like 80% as it goes in before tax, then take retirement at 55 and travel the world. |

Pay off mortgage and any outstandings, buy a few cars (mustang, tesla, truck, AMG), racing kart, new wardrobe, pay off any family debts, book the ultimate holiday and lots of various vouchers for future use. Invite all my friends for a slap up meal and epic night out! |

I would give away half to friends, family And Charity. Buy a car, a motor home. A caravan on a site that I could let for potential income. I would buy clothes. Pay for things that would make life easier like insurances for the year. Get ahead on all bills. Pay a builder a chunk of money in advance of work for a extension as can’t get a house as it takes too long to buy a new house |

Houses. Nice big one with land, and a couple of smaller places for family or to rent out. As pet only lets. It's ridiculous trying to rent with pets.
I'd still work, just alot less hours without rent/mortgage. |

Drop a big wedge in sons account.
A nice donation to a motorcycle racing team, that is purely for injured servicemen/women.

A gentleman never tells |
I'm guessing this 24hrs could be a day in the future so we could do some planning and prep? If so I'd throw a monster party on a private island, fly everyone out there, top name DJ's, accomodation, food, drink etc.. |

Blimey.
House for me and fix it up. Either a better narrow boat for my parents or a house on land, depends what they'd rather have. House for my best friend. Driving lessons for me and a good car. And a Kindle Oasis. |
