Take a week off work but dont quit

Pay off my debt

Pay off parents debt (if they
still have any)

Spend the week in meetings with financial advisors and lawyers on how to secure generational financial stability

Day 1: Research law/accounting firms
Day 2: Hire lawyer/CPA
Day 3-7: Whatever they tell me


Would likely take a lot longer to research/hire but you get the point

I'd spend that week with a lawyer and a financial advisor.

Then I'd enjoy a laid back week of not having to get up and go to work. Play with the dogs and just enjoy myself.

Next, I'd go house hunting, but nothing to call attention myself. I'd try to keep as low a profile as possible and just start enjoying my life.

Hiding from kidnappers and hitmen, apparently.

There would be no "first", "week" or any of that. The concept of time and place would change so much that the person before I won would cease to exist.

Strong possibility I wouldn't remember any of the first week after being blackout drunk for most of it

How do you spend your first week once the winnings are securely in your bank account?



I take a low key drive somewhere in the middle of the country and let the crazy news go away.

My family would know. Probably 15-20 of my friends would know (outside of the news stories where everyone may know)

The absolute first thing I would do is end my student loans (they aren't crippling me but they are annoying).

When I was out in the middle of nowhere with no worries, I would think through my next moves. I think it's different imagining what you would do and actually being in a position to do it.

I'm sure I would give 7 figures to everyone in my immediate family and some of my extended family so they didn't have financial worries going forward. That's like $15 million. Then i would think carefully through the rest

1. I disappear by going on a trip somewhere for the week. Maybe I go to Europe, Japan, or Israel, or possibly up to New York. Wherever I go, I sight-see where no one knows me. Then, when I come back, I pretend it didn't happen. I make sure that literally no one I know knows I have the money except for maybe my parents. When I make donations, they're always anonymous. When I buy properties, they're through an LLC that doesn't have my name attached. Secretly, I own a few condos and travel wherever I want whenever I want, I start taking flying lessons, etc. I slowly ramp up my public spending as my public career makes it seem more plausible.

Basically, I live a great life where I can do a lot of good for a lot of people with no one ever thinking I'm more than middle class.

Probably nothing other than starting an LLC or foundation.
Not sure what else. After my family stuff was done, donated to church and got the house built I’d build a treated room for my stereo room/office.
Order a new huracan and locate the newest, lowest mileage f430 with a 6speed manual.
