Here's a crazy survey I thought off.
If you had a time machine where would you travel first? Assuming the fact of course of universal invincibility.
----UPDATE----
As my brother mentioned, with time travel universally available getting rich schemes would be less than doable.
My aim is more towards investigating great mysteries of history. Therefore:
a. To the Big Bang
b. To see an asteroid killing dinosaurs
c. To see the exodus of Jews as it really happened
d. Try to see if Jesus hubbub really happened
e. Forget the past, I'd go to the year 2020 to see who winds World Series and place a bet accordingly.
f. Suggested by Ilya. Back a day or to to purchase winning lottery ticket.
e. Try to see if Atlantis existed.
f. Travel to the future to see the explosion of our Sun.
I am torn between the dinosaurs and the World Series. Please suggest the choices. Should I add Buddha and Muhammed to the list as well? From the curiousity stand-point.
I still rather see the dinosaurs.

A simple choice than (e) would be several days back to buy the winning lottery ticket.
Surprisingly to me, after (e), my biggest interest would be in (d) - because those events tend to have a disproportional direct effect on the nowadays society compared to all others.
I would also visit (and photograph) many of the things lost to modern man.. did you know the Last Supper started decaying less than 1 year after it was painted and was over-painted by a slew of hacks afterward, imagine a hi-res photo of it when it was still fresh. To go back and visit the great library in Alexandria and bring some of that lost information to light..
That's AN AWESOME idea. I haven't thought of that.
Having a photographs of the wonders before they were destroyed would be awesome.
It actually would be great if there was a nice compilation of things to see in the past.
Let the meme grow.
I also thought that i would be amazing to skim through time and see if Atlantis really existed.
Go to a known Bermuda triangle event to find out what really happened.
Roswell.
See if L H Oswald really killed JFK and check if Jimmy Hoffa is really buried under the Giants stadium goal posts.
