What would you do with a leprechaun's pot 'o gold?

Because let's face it, when it's silly season with this topic, you have to be properly silly about it. So forget the lottery. Forget the inheritance. Forget specific dollar amounts like $100K, $150K, $250K, whatever. St. Patty's Day is nigh! Let's go after some Irish faerie gold. What would you do?

1. Let it ride all night on green on roulette?

2. Buy a rainbow-spotting plane and go looking for more?

3. Set up leprechaun hunting webcams all over Hibernia?

It doesn't have to be Irish-themed, of course. Maybe you haven't gotten your fill yet of investment ideas with found money. Let's say that a leprechaun's pot of pure 24K gold weighs 100 lbs, 20 lbs. for the pot, 80 lbs for the gold, just enough to be almost impossible to steal. That's about 1.5 million dollars at today's spot price.

I'm not touching the Leprechaun's gold.  Not going to business with someone I don't trust.  Nothing is free in this world without consequence.
