What would you do if you won a big lottery

Following up to Jack's last discussion:
What would you do if you won a big lottery?
1} Hire a good attorney to keep my name out of the news (legal in most states)
2} Keep a low profile for a while and not significantly change my life style until things settled.
3} Quietly retire withing the year
4} Pay off any debts and start a new career (sitting on my ass would drive me to drinking) maybe like professional club reviewer.
5} Buy a new car.

Your 1-5 plus:

  1. Pay off my family's debts.
  2. Buy as big a parcel of land as I can in a good spot and build on it.
  3. Go back to school.
  4. Upgrade my ATF's lifestyle to the extent she'll let me.

Hmmm... win say $10mil, so that's 6.5ish after taxes?

Things I'd do within the first month, not necessarily in this order.

  1. Retire from my current job (would save thinking about my next job for next month)
  2. Treat my buddies to at least one, and probably several, SC and OTC blowouts.
  3. Pay off all my family's debts
  4. Find a great financial advisor
  5. Modest (considering the size of the win) toy shopping spree for myself and my kids and nieces/newphews

There's lots more serious stuff to do after that first month, but the kids' modest toy shopping spree, and my buddies' SC and OTC blowout(s), are musts, ASAP

In the next month, there's plenty to do: start investing the money to protect and grow it, more serious purchases, charity and social movement contributions, figure out if I want to take one of my current hobbies and turn it into a little side job, etc.

I would do 1 and 2. I would want to keep a low profile so "friends" and con men would not try to take my money.

I'm already retired and debt-free. And I bought a new BMW this year.

I'd touch almost none of the winnings.

using the guy from the other thread as an example, take the cash option and after taxes he would have about 60 million. Invested in a diverse portfolio of ETF's, mutual funds and rental property he could have an income of 3 or 4 million a year and he would never go broke. he could double or triple that if he didn't want to leave anything behind.

I would do all your steps...

I have always thought I'd go buy a big SUV and for the country trying to find a place to buy a 2nd and maybe 3rd home - I figured it would take me a year.

Then I'd go sit on my ass for awhile, and relax, whether it be 3 months or 3 years I'm not sure, when I would get bored I would open a small business, as long as I break even I'd be satisfied with it.

I take crazyjoes "upgrade business equipment" to mean upgrade to two ply or quilted toilet paper.

Spend a year hitting SCs across the country then figure-out/start-learning how to possibly increase it and not just sit on it (but I'd take it little by little rather than risk large amounts while I'm learning, perhaps I'd invest in real-estate including commercial)

Instead of buying lottery tickets, I'm spending my disposable income at strip clubs. I figure that I am coming out ahead.

Larryfisherman would buy Mrs Pauls!!!!!

Imamutt would give every penny to his psycho ATF

Juice would make the best rap album ever with guest appearances by The eurythmics, Boy George, Twisted Sister, Debbie Gibson and Rick Astley.

Jackslash would make the first ever strip club that dads could bring their kids to and drop them off at the adjacent daycare center.

Lloyd would buy all the silver duck tape he could fit in his basement.

I'd hire Dougster to invest it all.

And then I'b bankroll all of Juice's poker tournaments.

Lastly, I'd invest in Plastics...

  1. Take the installments, not the lump (read: chump) sum.
  2. Put 10% of the money in an untouchable savings account as I get it.
  3. Invest 10% of the money.
    3a. 2.5% in an aggressive fund.
    3b. 5% in a moderate fund.
    3c. 2.5% in a conservative fund.
    If the aggressive fund reaches 150%, put 50% of it in savings. If the moderate fund reaches 125%, put 25% of it in savings. If the conservative fund reaches 112.5%, put 12.5% of it in savings.
  4. Set 10% aside for doling out to family members.
  5. Let myself have 10% for fun.
  6. Spend the remaining 60% on legitimate expenses, such as the following:
    6a. A house around the 75th percentile of cost in my market.
    6b. A car around the 75th percentile of cost.
    6c. Education or training for a better career or more fulfilling hobbies.
    6d. A personal trainer, gym membership, or workout equipment to de-fatten my ass.
    6e. Other investment or business opportunities such as buying property, buying a turnkey business, or starting my own business.

War hawk LMFAO

I would def get an attorney to keep my new found wealth a secret

I would be rolled very deep for high stakes poker by using a small percentage of the winnings.So I would move out to Vegas/California to become a poker Pro.

Invest in the market and let compounding interest do it's Magic with a large percentage of the winnings.

Figure out a lifetime budget for strip clubs so I would have enough to last me into the grave lol.

Would help fund new churches and spreading of the word of God

Would also help out homeless shelters, widows and orphans and partner with any organization that has a mission to help these situations

Single mothers and young college girls would be my number one and largest charity contribution doh

My all the new Xbox games and get drunk every night with four loco and some tositoes

  1. Hire a top notch financial advisor
  2. Hire a top notch attorney
  3. Relocate
  4. Set up friends and family
  5. Start my own non-profits. At least two to start - one for my political projects, and anothe related to animal welfare. I want to work, but for my work to be something I am passionate about. Nonprofits can't sustain my lifestyle unless I'm financially independent.
