You won the lottery, but the payout is 5000 Icelandic krona. What will you do with your prize?

Pay for half of this morning’s bar tab so far.
- My friend, either you work a night shift or you are living a very different life from me. Godspeed on this Monday morning.
  
  They could be at the airport. Gotta remember that it's almost a social requirement for travelers to drink in the morning.
Wolfram Alpha tells me that’s 35.87 USD. So that will cover about half my tab at the grocery store for the week.
- Someone else said $430 so now I don't know who to believe. 400+ seems more realistic for a 'lottery' win though.
I buy 5000 krona's worth of shrimp. EZ.

- Smart, then you can make pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich, that's about it.
Given that it works out to about $430, I might donate it. $430 is nothing to sneeze at and I know that for some, it's a meaningful difference. I'm fortunate enough that I could give it to a food shelter or something and buy myself some good feelings.
Find an Icelandic friend and let him claim it since the conversion cost would cost me a good chunk of the winnings and it could make somebody else’s day a bit better.

Try and buy in to whoever sells the tickets. Probably ask for it in cash, too, because at least I could enlarge my currency collection.
