I think I’ve run this scenario in my head many times, especially during the big lottery jackpots.
Sometimes I think of all the good, and sometimes all the debauchery I would do with a large amount of money. But I think in the end it’ll be a little of both, while continuing to invest in myself and family.
I know, so vague and boring.

Give most of it to my parents. I would dead inside a year with that kind of money.
|
|
|
I would disappear...
No one would find a trace of me anywhere.
Live off the grid?
Move some place without rush hour traffic?
Hope to find a companion.
I heard it not that expensive to spend a year living on a cruise ship.

I agree with Muncher if I had that kind of money I would crash out. I would take care of family friends then pure chaos.

I could finally afford to let Charlie borrow money

I'd fuck it all up and probably go to Vegas against my better judgement. Have the time of my life.

I'd buy a lot of horses. Give them all funny names. And see which one could run in a circle faster than the others.

Personally, I would stage my own death so that no family or friends could ever track me down. From there, I would discreetly assemble a team of elite engineers from Japan and have them build me a fully operational 30 story tall robot capable of flying me around the globe.
Then I would purchase the German castle featured in the Willy Wonka film and establish residence there. I would arrange for one HX girl per week to be flown out to milk me. After that I would hire the most advanced stem cell scientist in the world to begin developing genetically engineered Koala bears that could speak english.
My days would then consist of sitting inside the Wonka Factory, sipping eucalyptus wine, engaging in deep conversations with my Koala friends, and gazing proudly into the horizon at my towering robot masterpiece.

Brad you won for being most creative. While the rest of us blow (all the puns on that one) through the money like wild banshee's at the gates of hell...
You and your robot/koala crew will have long sustained us with your new found lotto resources, chocolate factory and eucalyptus wine. I am jealous I didn't think of this. Lol. 😋

Visit every Capital in the U.S! ......Travel the world for the best medical programs to participate and fund cancer research so we could finally rid the world of it! All while learning more about the cause.

I would father as many children as possible worldwide and set up investment accounts for them while paying child support to all their mothers, so my children could have the best upbringing and education. Secretly, I would use the most advanced surveillance to monitor them from a mansion on a private island, and balance that with social debauchery with periods of personal life extending care. Finally, when the time came, I would set up the world’s finest reception for them on my island; the one with the best character would inherit the trillions from my personal investments. Then I would die in peace and be cremated. The last request being for the ashes of this mortal body to be flushed down a brand new giant diamond toilet.

My gifts to providers would definitely be upgraded.

Open the official HX Bar and Grill to get the mingle feature working...
|
|
|
I completely forgot about the mingle. I miss the days when that was actually used.
|
|
|
See HX ladies every day!!

Depends on which lottery but say I won one of the big ones I would make sure everyone I've ever known got a come up. I could easily live comfortably on the interest alone from 20m, so I'd just coast on that f9r the rest of my life.
Probably set up a charity for affordable housing too.

1. restore my classic car
2. buy some sexy property and turn it into a swingers club

In taking all the cash up front and taxes, I would only get 28%-29% of the current $458 million in the Mega. That means I walk away with $131 million.
That is a lot of money, but 70% of major lottery winners are broke within 3-5 years.
20% ($26,million) goes to annual income. Without blinking I could make at least 6% of income ($1,560,000 annually and $130,000 monthly). That works for me. Most of that will be in municipals and master limited partnerships. That means most of that income is not taxable.
10% ($13 million) will go into crypto.
20% ($26 million) will go into the market
10% ($13 million) will allow me to buy multiple pieces of land in a few different states. I will have someone build my homes.
For $78 million I created annual income, long term investments, and real estate properties.
What would I do with the other $53 million? Find more long term investments.
Under my thought process,I will take care of the family, buy a few cars, travel, donate funds to people/groups who need it, and any thing else I need to do.
When you have that kind of money, you have a new full time job!!

If it's more than 8 figures, the most important thing to do immediately is to do nothing.
Maybe treat yourself to a nice meal, but tell nobody. Just take some time to breathe.
Then read this excellent post from reddit (link below) that breaks everything down. Then read it again. It's in several parts, I think the link may open at the bottom of the first part. Follow that advice and you have a much better chance to survive.
The next piece of advice is from Office Space:Peter: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.
[Peter laughs and then notices Lawrence's dead serious expression]
Peter: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.
Peter: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
Peter: Good point.
Lawrence: Well, what about you now? What would you do?
Peter: Besides two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Well, yeah.
Peter: Nothing.
Lawrence: Nothing, huh?
Peter: I would relax... I would sit on my ass all day... I would do nothing.
Lawrence: Well, you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Take a look at my cousin: he's broke, don't do shit.

Buy land, grow my own food and purchase a separate house to host orgies in ..
or sell everything, travel the world, then move to Costa Rica after.

Say a billion dollar jackpot, net in my pocket.
Donate $50-75 million for infrastructure to a couple of middle and high schools I either attended or admire.
Buy a $10-15 million ocean view home in the OC.
A waterfront luxury condo in Maui - $5 million.
Home in Sedona AZ - $5 million.
Car collection and warehouse for storage and fun -- $30 million.
$500 million in residental income real estate throughout Orange and San Diego Counties (about 1300 units) - about $4.5 million a year in pre-tax net income.
$70 million in precious metals and collectibles (jewelry, watches, stones, etc.).
$50 million in paid for homes with life estates for my friends and family to live in.
$250 million to put into the markets and a 10% cash position - 1/3 aggressive, 1/3 moderate risk, and 1/3 conservative with dividends, and about $30k in income which I would donate two annual scholarships to the schools above.

I would so start my business oh my goodness. That is the goal I am saving up for now.
|
|

I would definitely move out of the city and buy some land and a house to live away from everyone. Most importantly it would enough room for my German Shepard to enjoy the last of his years with a huge outdoor area.
Then it would be 4 hot chicks at the same time. 
Figured if i am rich from the lottery and this is my fantasy... why not?!?

Lottery Plan, have given this some thought....
1. Get a new number.
2. I’m disappearing responsibly.
3. Not so random country.
4. Postcards saying "i'll be in touch, someday"
5. Send a fleet of matching blacked-out Gulfstream jets to scoop up my top 5 favorite hx ladies (the ones who got away, the ones who curved me, the ones I still think about at 3 a.m.). Each jet stocked with champagne, a personal stylist, a masseuse, and a playlist titled "Sorry Not Sorry."
They land at my secret compound (bought a ridiculous villa with infinity pools and a helipad because subtlety is for poor people). While I'm "busy" (code for napping in a silk thong while someone fans me with palm leaves), the other four have to entertain themselves with absurd activities I pre-arrange:
- Private cooking class with a Michelin-star chef who only makes aphrodisiac dishes
- Shopping spree with a $100k limit each; but they have to buy the most ridiculous matching outfits (think metallic bodysuits or full-on pirate cosplay)
- A "talent show" i am the prize (or a new Birkin if they lose spectacularly)
Odd number of ladies means constant low-key competition, side-eye, and drama. Perfect entertainment. One gets jealous? Send her on a solo hot-air balloon ride at sunrise with a note: "Relax, queen. Plenty of me to go around... eventually."

well its official Scotty 949 your a card carrying Narcissist! Congrats although you should prob work on that its not a healthy way to be.

I’d give 1 lucky lady on this site a big chunk of money for an opportunity to start a new chapter in their lives.

Pretty much the same as PingS59 only sans any investments into crypto. I'd break everything into several trusts that are controlled by a master trust llc. I'd retain a CPA as well as a tax attorney that's familiar multi-state tax structures as well as a dedicated trust company familiar with multi-state/international trusts to handle overall legal management of all the trusts.
|
|
|
And I'd only invest in stocks that pay a dividend.

I would buy the $59 chrome paper towel holder from Sharper Image, carry it with me almost everywhere, intentionally knock over people’s drinks and then lovingly stare into their eyes and ask them “Do you need a paper towel?”
I would buy a $137 wheel of pepper jack cheese, keep it in my back fridge, ask my friends to come admire it and when they say something like “You must really love pepper jack cheese”, I’d answer “No fucking way – cheese is gross.”
I would use the remaining funds to start the world’s first professional canine racquetball league because if dogs can’t play racquetball like the rest of us then what are the troops fighting for?
Sorry, what was the question again? I saw something shiny and got distracted (sigh).

I agree with coolbob, I would see HX ladies every day. But I don’t play the lottery, it is a waste of money
