You just won 1 billion dollars from the lottery… what does the next 24hrs of your life look like?

Love to say the first Thing I do would be to help others, but quite frankly I would have to pay off all my debt to make sure that once I'm gone my children don't have any of my debt left on them. the next thing I would do is make sure that my daughter is taken care of for the rest of her life because I do not want her to go into a state-funded facility if I can't take care of her anymore. Then I would do something to help others. Maybe have a shelter built in my area for starters

1. A quick call to my lawyer with a short list of people I care about whose lives need to be made easier, financially, preferably anonymously.
2. Another quick call to a close friend of mine who does a lot of work with good charitable organizations to tell her that she needs to make some plans.
3. Tell my financial guy he's going to be busy for a day or two -- and give him the numbers of #1 and #2.
4. Go to work, 'cause I have a client counting on me.
5. After work, hang out at the Costco Gas Bar filling the tanks of people who look like they could use a break. I've always thought that would be fun. Then grab a hot dog and poutine.
6. Fall asleep, feeling extremely grateful and blessed.

Donating to my church's outreach projects. Paying off my mom's loan and buying her a huge farmhouse like she's always wanted. Same for my kids. And I need a new vehicle.

Step one. Take care of my family and friends.
Step two. Make sure my children nieces and nephews are all set for the future.
Step three. Work the system to make money off the money I won.
Step four. Help where possible in community and corrective measures to make sure it doesn't revert back to the way it was before the help was given.

Most likely I would be in shock, but I'd try to find a good financial advisor as fast as possible to help me manage it because I wouldn't have the first clue on what to do in the first 24 hours.

Start getting the banks in order I want to spread the money out in, contact a lawyer. Give money to worthy family and friends.

Make a list of worthy and legitimate causes to give to. Change my phone number and ponder the fact that there are more important things than money. Say a prayer of gratitude.

i did? 😳 thats awesome

Working out the best high interest account so I can make my money continue working whilst I work out what I'm going to do with it.

Buy the company I work for and give all my bosses impossible tasks to carry out. Never thanking them or acknowledging them for a job well done. Making them wait for years to get a lousy raise. On and on and on. 🤣😂🤣😂 maybe even demoting them because they can’t get it done. Then eventually firing them if they don’t quit first. That would be first and foremost. 🤣😂🤣😂

First things first, I convinced my mom to take the next afternoon off work under pretenses of an emergency. Next, I have her sign the ticket. She and I drag Dad to Salem, where she picks up the check, then over to the bank, where she deposits the money in her personal account before creating two joint accounts, one in my name and one in Dad's name.

Having done my duty for my father, who can now afford to hire 24-hour nursing care, I would proceed to live my life.

If I won $1,000,000,000 I'd have to find someone who knows how to give it to the needy. First thing would be I would contact our church community.

A call to the lottery informing them they have made a mistake since I do not waste money on tickets. Having avoided their claw back after a spending rampage, I would go about my day as usual.

A financial lawyer and a financial adviser.

I’d keep $20,000,000 for myself.
Share a bunch for family and friends.

Then donate the rest to charities I’m fond of.

I don't think I'll remember them as I'm pretty sure I would have fainted.

I'm taking a 24 hour nap near a monastery in the mountains. 🙃

I don't like crowds of people demanding attention as is.

Going through all the paperwork to actually get it.

Celebrate 🎉 🥂 🥳

Straight on a plane to meet up with my favorite SWer !!

roll around in a pile of cash on the bed lol then put it away and lock up the cash lol. then business as usual. ( i think itd take time for me to think about how id want to spend it. wouldnt want to waste it but put it to some good somehow and invest too for maximum retention.)

Celebrating, planning on how to receive the money with Tax Attorneys and Accountants.

Assuming I received the money that day - Start preparations for a long trip to France, as long as a VISA would allow.

The only person I would help is a friend who lives in France, everyone else could go screw themselves.

Except Gerry, I would buy him lifetime VIP. 😄

Me getting the car fixed, maybe researching then booking a flight to south korea, treat my family to a buffet for dinner probably

1. Quit job in a awesome way!
2. Buy any food/drinks I want.
3. Buy new car.
4. Book super long vacation 😁

Figure out how to invest into helping people that aren't rich

Hire full-time caregivers for my wife.

Making sure they will pay and what all the small print is. Fielding calls from the IRS.

I’m burning bridges… 🤓

I don't day dream.

Lots of incoming phone calls to let go to call-screening.

Probably in the ER recovering from shock.

It looks like hunting for a home for far far away in the woods...

No change. Same as any other day.

The same.. because I'm not going to go out and blow it on the first day

The last 24 hours

Buying the company I work for, and then running it into the ground for sheer laughs.

Give half of it away

Blurred! I'd be pissed out of my brain on very expensive champagne

Payoff all my debts
Then start preparing to secure the future as best as possible

Throw it in the trash? Who needs money anyway

I ain’t tellin you that!!

Seriously show me the money ..

1. First would be the reality of winning and letting it set in on me.
2. Calling my CPA to see what would be my best way to accept it.
3. I would have both lunch and dinner out.
4. Spend the rest of the day giddy with excitement. 🙂

Planning on the inside, nothing on the outside.

i'm going into seclusion.
