What's the first thing you would do if you won the lottery right now?

I like your plan, actually

Moooooooove

I'd buy a motorhome and also invest some of the funds.

Start an LLC and open about a dozen living trusts in people’s names that I love.

I’d buy a small off grid property and make it self sustaining.

Pay off my debts. Pay off my close family's debts. Move to the mountains.

Split the winnings with 2 family members and a friend.

Take an extended trip I promised myself many years ago

I would t quit my job right away, but it wouldn’t take them long to fire me…

Depends on how much
But id retire
Invest it to live of the interest etc
Take family & friends on a vacation

Quit my job
Buy another house
Do this one up and either rent or sell it
Open a deli

Season tickets to some teams i follow

Travel and have a business

Ive been investing the last few years. When they mature, I'm just gonna reinvest so its an ongoing thing.

Splurge by filling up my gas tank for once.

I'm pretty sure having money probably produces as many problems as having none.
But i suppose I'd set my children and grandchildren up with something that would guarantee them an income without worry.

Maybe find somewhere with a nice view of the ocean. Buy a reliable car and squirrel the rest away from prying tax eyes and enjoy life

Move out of the US tbh

Quit my job

Move off grid for a few years. Someplace you can only get to by helicopter or boat would be ideal.

Make sure that they understood I want to claim my prize anonymously if at all possible.

1. Contact a lawyer
2. Contact an extremely good accountant that specializes in investment and tax strategies for the extremely wealthy.
3. Have both form a plan to invest, dodge as much in taxes on the returns on those investments as possible,.
4. Keep a low profile after winning. Tell no one but immediate family.
5. In time form a philanthropy based trust for those vetted and deemed to be on the most needy.
6. Employ everyone in my immediate family that wishes to work for me.....in various jobs in that trust so they are guaranteed a lifetime job, high wages and the best insurance.
7. Make sure the investment provides generational wealth..........not just gets blown on nothing in one generation.
8. Select and monitor investments so returns always exceed expenditures year over year in perpetuity.

Change my name and then move to a state where no one knew me.

Disappear

pay off all debts, invest in diverse income funds across multiple disconnected institutions, change my name and move to another country with no extradition treaty to live modestly and happily.

make small moves to position myself to disappear

I'd keep quiet and never discuss about it.

Wouldn’t know since I don’t play. It’s a tax for people that are bad at math.
