      Oh wow, good question! The Nobel Prize is about a million dollars. The UK is having a lot of problems with having enough money to fund the science that goes on here so I would probably use some of it to create some research jobs for people who have finished their PhDs and want to work in the UK. The Allen Telescope Array in the USA has recently had to shut down due to a lack of money so I would probably give them some money so they could work again. The Allen Telescope is looking for signals from extraterrestrial life which I think is pretty cool! I’d like to have a party for everyone I knew as well!

      I’m not sure if there are any rules about what you can spend it on though so maybe I wouldn’t be allowed to do all of those things!
