I just won the lottery, what should I do?

[Gardenlover]

How many of you play?

It would turn our lives upside down if we won big.

Your thoughts?

 

[LadyEmeraude]

I used to play about 10 years ago, like say one ticket each week, but not much
since.

If you just won the lotto, I would be very happy for you!

Speak to no one and tell no one. Hire a financial advisor and a lawyer, then go into hiding at an undisclosed location.

First we'd take all the granddaughters down to South Africa to see the penguins.

 

[Gardenlover]

I won only in my mind, and btw it is a wonderful place to play.

 

[Gardenlover]

First we'd take all the granddaughters down to South Africa to see the penguins.

Wait, what? You must be smoking the same stuff I am.

 

[Sassycakes]

I wish I could win. I would divide the money with the family and friends and of course, give some to charities.

 

[Nemo2]

Wait, what?

What, you don't like penguins?

I play, but have never won much. winning big would have it's pros and cons.

 

[Gardenlover]

What, you don't like penguins?

Wait, what? I never said that. With the right sauce they are simply scrumptious.

 

[Gardenlover]

I'd take my grandkids to New Zealand to see the unicorns.

 

[Nemo2]

I'd take my grandkids to New Zealand to see the unicorns.

I'd question that possibility...but, off you go.

Hopefully your state allows you to remain anonymous. Like that 1 5 billion winner was. But she took it in a lump sum. How foolish, the lottery then paid a pittance and kept it.

I'd hire a financial advisor and a lawyer, and not tell anyone. Then I'd travel.

I think my province doesn't let a winner remain anonymous. But something could be figured out.

And change your phone number!

Well, why else would I take the granddaughters to see them there?

 

[NorthernLight]

@Nemo2 I know, but someone else didn't seem to believe you.

One young granddaughter's teacher told the class that Penguins were only at the South Pole.....I mentioned a number of other locales, and using polite phraseology told her that her teacher was unable to play golf.

I'd get a house on a bigger lot... maybe even buy an entire square block and build my dream home on it. I'd buy an electric vehicle, some new furniture, hire a maid and groundskeeper... I might do a little traveling like to Manhattan or a Florida beach.

I'm a recluse and avoid social interaction, so that kind of limits what I'd do.

 

[Paladin1950]

Give the money to me. I'm a Nigerian Prince. I'll put it in my bank account.

Buy, Fruitcake, (if you don't have some on hand). {Fruitcake will be impossible to purchase by Fruituary}
If you do have Fruitcake, on hand, then take out your most precious vintage and eat some.

 

[leastlongprime]

Do your bucket list now, without hesitation.

Lots of money is generally followed by lots of grief, especially if your a stranger to it. Not that I'm a huge fan of poverty.
