    So sad when a million dollars doesn't excite me as much as it did 20 years ago. It is a lot sure but not entirely life changing.

    1. pay off all debt
    2. move somewhere that I can live really simple

    You win the lottery and take home 1 million dollars. What's the first three things you do?



    For me:
    1) Pay off everything
    2) Buy a Grand Piano
    3) Move somewhere scenic!

    If I were you I would move first then buy the Grand...then you don't have to risk moving it!

    >.< So you'd give her the house and half of the money? Better person than I. I'd hide the money and give her the house only.

    ahhh...that trick has been tried before...the lawyers always find the money.

    The math looks wrong here though....after $190K is subtracted, $490K is still more than half...am I wrong?

    Y'all are incredibly generous to give away your winnings to family and friends.

    1) Hire lawyer to set up a trust to receive the $1million.
    2) Invest my winnings and live off the income generated.
    3) Pay for my family to attend financial literacy classes (most of them already do ok, but if I just pay off their debts they will simply build more debt and be back in square one).

    1. Consult a lawyer and an accountant to protect the funds.
    2. Pay taxes on it
    3. Quit my job
    4. Pay off any debts that I have
    5. Of the remaining funds, donate some to charity, invest some in the stock market, and sit on the rest in a savings account while I live off the interest just screwing around all day.
