47 comments

1. 1. Pay off my mortgage
   2. Go to Disney World for a holibob

2. Paid my father’s house mortage and buy me a Citroën van.

3. The very first thing I’d do is give everyone I care for a million each (depending on how many millions) I’d pay off my mortgage and set up some sort of music charity that would provide kids with free instruments and lessons. Playing music has been a blessing in my life and have made many friends through it. I’d like that to be the same for others

4. Find a lawyer

5. Test my friends and relatives. Ask them for $50, saying I’d pay it back in about a week.

6. Pay for (potentially lifesaving) surgery for a family member. Then make sure all my family and friends and their family are financially secure. Then buy a house and build a music studio with a lot of instruments and a sweet garage for woodworking and stuff. Then maybe get some nice takeout and be happy.

7. Vacation. I heard Vietnam is nice.

8. Quit my job and travel for three months to completely de stress and contemplate on my new future.

9. Pay off my debt

10. I’d hire a financial advisor and probably invest 80% of it and have 20% into it for treating myself

11. Look for a nice house away from everyone.

12. Pay the taxes. Build a house, set up a personal trust for my family, invest quite a large sum in long term and short term investments and live off the interest.

13. 1. Make sure my 3 daughters are financially secure for the rest of their lives.

    2. Give my wife the tropical vacation she deserves, every year.

    3. Pay off the mortgage.

    4. Buy my dream car: a Renault Clio RS 2.0.

14. Pay off my credit cards, buy a truck and move back to California.

15. Buy a house. Pay all my loans.

16. Id keep my mouth shut about winning.

17. Buy a house

    Import a Toyota hiluix

18. Call the number to start the claim process

19. Not tell you or anyone else

20. Send the IRS 37%

21. Find a lawyer and financial adviser. Invest most of the money.

    And then i’d spend a good amount of time contemplating what i really want from life.
    Since money is no longer an issue, the sky is the limit.

22. I am working towards doing triathlons so my first thing would be spending money on decent training materials, coaching, rent a swim lane for only myself, travel to train under different circumstances,…

    Other than that I would pay off my mortgage.

23. Buy Hookers and cocaine

24. Claim my prize

25. Wake up

26. Throw my resignation at my employer, waltz out and start over knowing that this time, things are going to be better if the money is spent wisely

27. Check again to make sure I won. Then claim it under a business so my name isn’t released.

28. get up from the chair

29. Lawyer, Accountant, Tee Time, Therapist not necessarily in that order.

30. Get a lawyer, get a financial adviser, get a new phone/line because a good number of people will never hear from me again.

31. Pull up that reddit thread I saved about what to do when you win the lottery.

32. Buy my dad a house to retire in

33. Be confused because I don’t play the lottery.

34. donate 1/3 of it to family. they have suffered and endured a lot to help each other to live better lives with better opportunities.

    invest 1/3 in stock market. yolo. hahaha.

    spend 1/3 on travel with my immediate family, luxury flights and hotels.

35. pay off all my and my family members’ debts.

36. Quit my job. The paycheck is the only think keeping me in the workforce. I’d rather be a free man.

    ​

    OK so maybe the VERY first thing I’d do is get some takeaway without worrying about how it’s a “waste of money”.

37. New phone number

38. I would say to myself “holy fuckbeans, I won the lottery”

39. Buy a house.

    Set up investments.

46. Lawyer, financial advisor, name change, and stealthy exit to new address. Erase any trace of my old life. I heard just the sheer number of e-mails and letter you get begging for money is maddening. Your relatives will be the first in line as well.
