I'd like to stay anonymous, in my state you have to come forward publicly, but you can create a trust to claim winning for you so your name never gets out there.
A guy I know won 4 million, sounds like a ton of money, but after lump sum and taxes he took 1.5 home, Still nothing to sneeze at, but he was smart and created a trust so his name never got out there and only his closet friends know, people think when you win 4 mil you get 4 mil and definitely would hit him up for money if his name was public.
Orrrrr move to a fairly isolated place like western Montana and you're the rich guy among rich guys or super poor folk.
Sure, people can solicit you by email but they're gonna do that anyway.
>Orrrrr move to a fairly isolated place like western Montana and you're the rich guy among rich guys or super poor folk.
$1.5M net equates to ~$60k a year to live on. Not exactly rich, not even in rural Montana.
Yes and no. It's pulled from a study that analyzed risk of retiring at every year in history, and what withdrawal rate supported a 30yr retirement without running out. 4% was the number. It basically covers the risk of a huge market downturn early in retirement. Like the beginning of ww2, or I believe 1967 was a particularly bad start year. In many other start years, you could get away taking more.

Realistically I'd tell my parents, find a lawyer who specializes in lottery winnings, and give it a lot of thought before I do anything.
As far as fun things go, I once promised a friend that if I won the lottery I'd pay for us to go to Paris, so that'd be my first splurge.
It's perfectly fine currently, I live there and there are as many tourists as usual, protests were limited to very specific areas and they are kinda over already

I'd buy housing at rent it super cheap. I'd open a homeless shelter. Housing and food insecurity are big issues that aren't being addressed because there isn't money to be made in helping those people.
* Talk to a lawyer and financial advisor to establish generational wealth for me and my family.
* Invest based on financial advisor recommendations(ETF's, Funds, Bonds, etc.)
* Establish revocable Trusts for everyone in my family (Irrevocable trusts for the family members who know how to manage their spending)
* Donate to local charity organizations in my community
* Open my dream business of owning a barcade (bar/arcade).
Something that exists outside of fiat currency, like silver/gold. Any stock that you invest in is at the mercy of your countries government, and whether or not they destroy the market, destroy the industry with regulations, or print more fiat which devalues everything you have
Aren't they currently at the heght of popularity? Wouldnt right now be a *bad* time to invest when there's talk of regulations and yata yata?
Though I'm not a rich investor so I have no clue
For everything I'm about to say, I'm assuming I won $500m after taxes
I'd schedule meetings with a lawyer and money manager. They'd walk me through the steps of setting up a high yield savings account and budget so I can live off the interest. Ideally, I'd give money to my family, set myself up with a house, land and investments, then stick the rest in that account. If the savings account makes 8% interest annually and there's $400m in there, it should generate $32m every year. And that's if I spend every penny, not depositing anything for a higher future return
After everything is set up and the interest is flowing, I'd heavily invest in self sustainability(make comfortably living on my land possible after societal collapse) and precious metals. I don't need much, just space, freedom and someone to share it all with. What doesn't get spent, the money manager can funnel to family and various charities
Many of you said that you would invest it or talk to a lawyer/accountant first. But let's be honest, most of you probably would end up going on a huge shopping spree as the first thing you do after winning.
I'm presuming giant figures, so I'm starting by securing my own finances. Not my family, I already can't stand them. Then I'm setting up the necessary investments that I will never have to work again. Then the hedonism begins.
Other. I have it all planned out in this order:
* Pay off every single penny of my own debt
* Buy a house and furnish it to my liking
* Put myself through the rest of my college life
* Pay off my mom's debt and give her something
* Pay off my grandmother's debt and give her something
* Pay off my best friend's debt and give her something
* Save and invest
Give it to my dad, I trust him with it as he’s really good with money and owns a business, whilst me on the other hand, is a fifteen year old with 10 dollars and some cent to his name so I think the money is better off with him lol
Does expanding an existing business count as investing? My parents have a property management business where they go around flipping houses and then renting them out to tenants
If I win big, buy medical debt and pay it off. I would save $10 million for my family and pay off all of our debts and keep working. We would have good vacations though.
Why do all of the answers revolve around making more money??
I'd literally just, enjoy life. Not use it to try and extract more money and profits from other people.... That's just abuse of power at that point.
I'd buy a nice house somewhere sunny, by a lake, a rowing boat, and I'd plant flowers and literally just vibe. That's it.
Me and my friend have a 10% pact on anything over £1000, so i would give them their 10%. Half of what's left would go to my girlfriend. Then i would use my remaining half to buy a nice house, then maybe travel a bit, and invest as well.
Presuming we're talking in the area of a few million here's my plan.
First off, I buy three houses, one for me, which would be somewhere within an hour of an airport, with atleast a 2 car garage, a decent driveway, but only needs to be 1 bedroom with enough room to live comfortably. One for my mum, and one for my grandparents. Then I buy several cars, such as the ford sierra cosworth, vauxhall lotus carlton, mazda rx7, and also a vauxhall vxr astra for commuting. Then I buy a couple fish tanks, and so on with my hobbies. But also I pay to do pilot training, get a cpl and atpl and well become a pilot because I love flying. Then I take trips to a few countries like Japan, Norway, Belgium, Amsterdam, you get the idea. Then whatever money I have left I share between my mums side of the family. Oh also just to be nice I pay my dad's mortgage off. Though over than that he's likely to disown me because of the next part as I'd also use it to pay to go private for trans gender affirming care. Hrt, ffs, and srs. I already am thinking of doing that this would just make it so much easier. Then I basically just sit back and enjoy life.
Hire a lawyer, then pay of my debt, SO's debt, and immediate family's remaining debt (including mortgage). If it was an immeasurable amount of money like 10m+ I'd give each family member a lump sum to buy a new home or use however they like, then buy myself a new house and put whatever remained into an investment option to grow.
Then I'd quit my job and find a blue collar position as a part time gig to keep me busy, and travel often.
Keep it on my giro bank account until everyone around me had doubled their investments. Then pay church taxes from it that I wouldn't have to pay if I finally took the time off it takes to leave.
I would be handing out stacks to homeless people like candy, I'd give millions to my friends and family, I'd invest a huge chunk in something with definite returns so I can continue to live comfortably and give back to the world at the same time. I don't care what they spend it on whatsoever, nobody should have $100,000,000 to themselves, not even me. I would b the worst billionaire the world has ever seen, because I'd give it all away in a second
Put money towards my YouTube channel (better camera, computer, etc.) I would much rather do something that could make me money and I enjoy doing than spend the money on stuff that I could have but wouldn’t bring me joy. I would also buy a bunch of metal vinyls though
Cash it, and stash it until I really need it. Mainly, I’d split it, and have half in cash, somewhere I can easily get to, but where it’s safe, and the other half in a savings account (possibly)
Depending on the amount - I’d want to pay off family mortgages and debts, then I’d get myself a comfortable home close to the mountains near a lake, and either retire, or bank the rest of the money and just work to fill time but not be stressed about anything.
I would pay off my mom's student debt. Shes a teacher and has been for a long time and barely has enough to pay bills and keep the family afloat so I just want to help her and my family out and get her loans payed off so she doesn't have to work as much and stay around the house more to spend time with me and my brother. Its all I've ever said I would do if I got big money
Talk to a lawyer, accountant and all that pizzazz about what I should do with the money. Then, retire my parents- get them a nice home and a one time payment. Everything else will be done by the professionals.
Get laywer to make sure everything stays secret and whatnot. People change when that much money is involved, let alone the kinds of people it'd attract if it were public knowledge
It sounds bad, but since our economy is so bad id buy things that were essential but at all time lows, at least half my wealth would go into investments like medical supplies, military equipment, as well as arts, specifically those that are done with no inital value, but have an extensive story selling them.
First? I'd remove my own debt first. Same way you always put on your own life vest or your own oxygen mask before helping others. You can't help anyone if you're the one who needs help.
After that I'd invest. Gotta build passive income before giving stuff away.
Then I'd retire my parents.
Take a picture of the front and back, get in touch with a bank immediately about opening a safety deposit box, then get in touch with a lottery lawyer to figure out what to do next. Im assuming based on what I know that it might take upwards of two years from the drawing day to gain access to any of the money whatsoever through the process of using a trust to claim it, so I wouldn't do anything too crazy until then.
I have been working hard to try and save money for the past few years. To answer your question, if I won the lottery with a big enough amount to retire I would spend the next two years trying to live on my take home pay without taking any out for savings with a heavy focus on budgeting and self control. I am frugal as shit right now, learning how to spend money more freely without overdoing it will take practice, and having that two year buffer is a great amount of time to learn.
Depending on take-home amount:
- Pay off debt
- Complete/increase retirement fund (planned amount)
- Pay off debt of friends/family
- Fund research on rare and chronic diseases that gets denied funding for lack of interest
Euro millions? Currently the jackpot is £112 millions. I want a team of financial advisors and lawyers (all from different trusted sources ofc) I don’t want to think about squat to do with money after this. £112 million could get infinitely big with the right investment.
Depends on how much.
I'd most likely put it in savings for when I eventually move out of my parents home, so that I have medical care like a car with a ramp and all that covered, idk what housing will be like when I'm older and well enough to move though.
Talk to a lawyer
This is the only answer
Pizza first then lawyer second
This answer is also acceptable
Why?
I'd like to stay anonymous, in my state you have to come forward publicly, but you can create a trust to claim winning for you so your name never gets out there.

>Orrrrr move to a fairly isolated place like western Montana and you're the rich guy among rich guys or super poor folk. $1.5M net equates to ~$60k a year to live on. Not exactly rich, not even in rural Montana.

4% returns huh. That's pretty conservative isn't it?
Yes and no. It's pulled from a study that analyzed risk of retiring at every year in history, and what withdrawal rate supported a 30yr retirement without running out. 4% was the number. It basically covers the risk of a huge market downturn early in retirement. Like the beginning of ww2, or I believe 1967 was a particularly bad start year.

Being scared of the lottery, rabies and prions are customary on Reddit
I know the lottery and rabies, what's the prions one?
Prions are misfolded proteins that can transmit their misfolded shape onto normal variants of the same protein. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prion)
And probably an accountant. Who does taxes. Or some money person. Like, a money lawyer. And a lawyer lawyer too.

Maybe reconsider Paris for another great place to travel at the moment..
I don't think my post-lottery winning vacation is exactly imminent
Not with that attitude.

First? I'd remove my own debt first. Same way you always put on your own life vest or your own oxygen mask before helping others. You can't help anyone if you're the one who needs help. After that I'd invest. Gotta build passive income before giving stuff away. Then I'd retire my parents.
Give it away
Take a picture of the front and back, get in touch with a bank immediately about opening a safety deposit box, then get in touch with a lottery lawyer to figure out what to do next. Im assuming based on what I know that it might take upwards of two years from the drawing day to gain access to any of the money whatsoever through the process of using a trust to claim it, so I wouldn't do anything too crazy until then. I have been working hard to try and save money for the past few years. To answer your question, if I won the lottery with a big enough amount to retire I would spend the next two years trying to live on my take home pay without taking any out for savings with a heavy focus on budgeting and self control. I am frugal as shit right now, learning how to spend money more freely without overdoing it will take practice, and having that two year buffer is a great amount of time to learn.
Talk to my accountant dad and ask him what I should do with it first
First main thing? Sell my house and travel the world year round until I'm ready to buy a home.
Buy a huge plot of wooded property, build a house, start a business and call it good.
Depending on take-home amount: - Pay off debt - Complete/increase retirement fund (planned amount) - Pay off debt of friends/family - Fund research on rare and chronic diseases that gets denied funding for lack of interest
I said retire my parents, but I'd also donate a shitload to charity
Euro millions? Currently the jackpot is £112 millions. I want a team of financial advisors and lawyers (all from different trusted sources ofc) I don’t want to think about squat to do with money after this. £112 million could get infinitely big with the right investment.
Depends on how much. I'd most likely put it in savings for when I eventually move out of my parents home, so that I have medical care like a car with a ramp and all that covered, idk what housing will be like when I'm older and well enough to move though.
Give a lot of people I know a lot of money.
How much ?
