So you won the lottery...now what?

[MLank]

1. Done working.
2. Look for a place to live that the kids can have a good school, and be involved in plenty over the next 18 years, yet easy to get away and do fun things.
3. I wouldn’t straight up buy my own land yet, but I’d be going on lots of hunts per year. All the while pondering where I wanted a ranch.
4. As for relatives? My brother would benefit and want for nothing Bc he and his kids would be along for the hunting on my dime.

Me:

Step 1- get a new phone number
Step 2- park my work truck on the front steps
Step 3- buy land
Step 4- disappear

This is spot on!!

All except the means to pay the taxes.

So after I won and got the check minus the Federal Mofia's cut, I cut a check to my Church. Next check would go to my kiddo's private Christian high school.

Current home immediately get's paid off, as well as, any other bills we have.

A few non-taxable cash gifts to close friends.

For a long term investment, I'll be looking at cattle ranches and anything else that has my interest that could be revenue generating.

Given I don't people to hound me for money, I'll take all my closest friends to Vegas. First class flight, hotel, but on the way back everyone is coming in on coach. Will give everyone a personal note I lost it all, but was a good time.

At that point I'd live my life as the millionaire next door.

[RUNNING BEAR]

Have a meeting with my church leaders and pay of the churches bills and make any repairs that need to be made.

I try to put our Lord 1st in my life.

Not sure what religion you are, so I am speaking for myself and my religion.

I’m catholic and have never understood why local churches need money. The Catholic Church has more money than Davy Crockett. Just doesn’t add up to me.

[Tyrex750]

Church = in it to make money.

[ctom87]

Let's go with a nice even 5 mil after tithing, taxes, hiring professionals, etc... what would I do...

Man this tougher than I thought. If I did all the things I wanted to do if I were ever a millionaire, I wouldn't be a millionaire.

I suppose I would put it all away and live a stress free life on the interest accrued. Over the years I would want a big enough piece of land that every day felt like an adventure. I would want a boat and a house also. I would make sure that no one could touch the cash so that we had generational wealth. Not one offspring of mine would ever have to worry.

A lot of churches would not accept winnings from your gambling(which the lotto is). Mine would turn it away.

Why would they turn down Satan money? Use it to advance Christian values! Just my opinion.

[DDH]

That's easy. I'd buy an airboat and 5 gallons of premium gasoline and a brand new Zippo lighter. And I'd burn that noisy, mist blowing contraption to the ground. Oh and someplace to hunt.

[Burntorange Bowhunter]

No church is getting ****. Why would they?

6 mil?

Pay off our place. Get a new truck. Get my wife one too. That's only 500,000.

We'd be set for life with 5.5 million left.

So your church ask everyone where their tithing contributions comes from? Strange never been asked that in any church I've been too.
