i would not tell no one..i have already plotted 90% a year in advance what to do with the money so the hardest part is over with
i would just tell my wife for right now and i would change my number then i would talk to a real estate/developer/broker whoever i want a house to purchase to move in the house for now and pay the cash when the smoke clears everything will be verified before this to give me credubility the reason for this because we have to act like boy george…move, move, move away because you would fear for your safety and you will get harassed and jealousy and things like that i would disconnect all phones and get a cheap trac phone at family dollar and give it out to the appropriate friends and family and tell them to contact us and tell them where we moved to..the mansion as i stated above until further notice my wife will take a leave of absense, then take a 2 week notice, then quit because its the right procedure to do and we have a lot to do while she is out of work
i would delete all the hotmail, yahoo,inbox, website, blopgs,,,accounts right now and make new ones and then tell the realible family members my new accounts once i register them
i would make a copy of the ticket and hide it i would not need a lawyer unless we need one for the blind trust but i would definetly need a certified CPA to figure out taxes and a finacial advisor but for both it will be free consultations if i cant do that then i will research online …which is how i got to this section in the first place
now we go to the lottery office and get ready for the lady gaga latest single….papa..paparazzi… which unfortunatly in my state we have to smile and say cheese and put our name in the lottery database which to me is more dangerous than a person on a sex offender registry list

once we done all that i will put money into a blind trust which i would set up 2 blind trust accounts and both wont be in my name
i would change my name as well
i would payy all the past due bills i owe, get ready to set up a cheap online billing with probably with getting a debit card at walmart to use this just to pay our future bills from now on
the taxes, i assume since we will get taxed 50%-60% will be paid up front so we are find there
our credit will affect this as well about 50% then the rest we will pay off in full
then we will find ways to build both of our credits so both of us will be at 800 credit score wise
a real keen decesion is to see if we need to moe out of state this is the only biggest decesion i see
i would give 12 people 1 million dollars each as in gifts so it wont get taxed twice in the same year(tax reterick whatever that means, hmmm i guess i do need to take to a advisor,huh,..)get the blind trust out of the country or the state i live in
we will have our own real estate buisiness this will set up the future for our only child so when he grows up he will be ceo/owner/landlord, etc of his own business we will edducated him real young and in the summer time when he writes reports he can tell the class what he has done on his summer vacation which is be an entrapenaur because his name will be as one of the owners and founders of the business
our son will have his own trust fund which will build up intrest so when he is 21 he will be straight for life, he is just 2 now so we expect he will be a millionare 20 times over
i dont want him to work hard at these punk ass jobs like we have done i want him to succedd thats the whole purpose of this he will work..belive that, but not hardcore he will be a leader and a entrpaneur
we will have vacation homes in ashville sc by the biltmore and boston ma
we will probably have 7 cars one of them a drop top mercedes
if my son wants to goto school he will have money for that to pay for it and he wont be in debt
back to the mansion we will have on hand security which we will hire and we will be online shopping 24/7 because in a house with the 12,000 feet you will never finish shopping and you can best belive it wont look all bland and empty like those stars cribs you see on MTV cribs but mre like the house in Florida Design
research money market accounts,cd, stocks, bonds mutaul funds, in other words…maximizingmoney.com and fool.com will be my best friend
my wife will be married to the best husband ever

says toney vegas…king of las vegas

A) 1mil. and some Euro after tax
1. put 500k in a current bank account and for the other 500k split in two savings accounts 250k in Euro (it is way better than in $ for the following year ) and 250k Euro value in my country currency.
Why this?
Simple:for the first 250k i will get near 5% return in a year and for the other 250k near 14% return.
So, in a very inaccurate way of summing up, i will make something like 34.5 k Euro (~ 51.75 k US$) by doing nothing and with my full preserve of my initial 500k.
[i did a very simplistic summing, without inflation and so, to not get you guys bored].
Now, those 34.5k on year will come on another current account being paid monthly (something like 2.8k monthly).
With those money i will pay: mortgage at a very nice apartment near park(~1k/month ); 0.5k leasing/month for a good car, like Audi Q5) and the rest for current monthly expense.
At one point i will start a small business also.
Getting back to the other 500k from the current account:
.150k for my sister and brother in law
.200k for my father and his family
.150 for my mother and her family
All this for very objective expenses (homes, cars etc.)
It’s detailed but not very (i can do it even more detailed )
*keep in mind that the prices are way different than US prices.
In my opinion, this is the best way to deal with this kind of money. At least the safest way, because they are not that much to afford to get to excited.
So, i will get a home (now i am renting), a good car and the money for daily biases without spending my savings and without working.
My close relatives will get their primary problems solved and i will follow one of my principles: giving back generally as much as i get [500k me, 500k to others]
ps: sorry my English, but i am not a native speaker.
ps2: i will come to say you about the other levels, when the things are getting a lot more exciting

I will clear all my debt (which is only 7k atm) and pay off all the mortgage on my parents home and my fiances family home. I’d hire a group of financial advisers and id have them put my money to work on a variety of things. But mainly i want to involve myself in the buying and renting of homes.

I would, after all thats taken care of and my ventures are running smoothly immediately have a baby and put into its college fund. I am gonna be smooth sailing and I will also be able to help my entire family financially and have something to pass down to the next families in my tree. I wouldnt donate to a cause because I am always not quite sure who really is recieving the money so id instead start a no kill pet shelter and a really huge orphanage type place that will really, and i mean really treat those children the way they deserve to be treated and give them the tools they need to gain confidence and succeed in the world. I’d probably spend 90% of my time there mentoring and doing what I can.

Winning the money is about doing what makes you happy and helping others along the way. I am truly happy if I am helping a child that needs me. I am happy if I can take animals that have been abused and neglected (with good temperaments) and give them a good life and a second chance. Sipping margaritas in cancun for the rest of my life wont help anyone, and wont fill the gap in my heart.
