    I would buy myself a wife from a different country

    You're finding some old threads. :) I like it.

    I'd give my 3 kids a good portion of it, donate some to an animal shelter and our local library. Maybe buy a little cottage out in the middle of nowhere, build a fence around the whole area and get more dogs. :) Then I'd travel.

    Hopefully you don't need to pay taxes on your land

    I'd quit my job, .pay off my bill's,
    donate to animal rescues & shelters, then look after everyone who's looked after me over the years...as far as the rest, don't bother now.

    I'd quit my job,.

    Why take the time & effort to do this ?

    I wouldn't quit; I just wouldn't show-up, answer my telephone or respond to emails.

    Sooner or later, they would understand.

    A 22yo kid working at the grocery just won $70 000 000 not taxable here...

    And he just did split with his 7 relatives & siblings. $8 750 000 each.

    Rare sight, really.

    Husband: Pack your bags!!! I won the lottery!!!

    Wife: Oh my god. That’s amazing. Where are we going?!?!

    Husband: I’m not going anywhere. Pack your bags. I won the lottery.

    Ha. Just kidding. My wife and I would travel once the kids were out of the best private school money could buy.

    Quit my job, set up trusts for ourselves as well as specific family members, finally go on a honeymoon (rent a cabin under the northern lights). After that, my job would be homemaking & being a fur mama.

    One of these was parked at my gym the other day & I thought: Yeah, that would be a cool lottery car.

    Take the lump sum.
    Hire a lawyer.
    Hire an accountant.
    Make sure taxes are in order.
    Hire a financial advisor/wealth manager.
    Invest.
    Live modestly off capital gains.
    Invest some more.
    Buy things (house, cars, toys).
    Give to charity.
    Travel and eat like Anthony Bourdain.
