If you were to win the lottery tomorrow during this #coronacrisis, what would your money (for ex. $1 million) go towards?

[GoodManDave]

With a million dollars, I'd donate 10% to charity. Buy a simple "starter" home, take the rest, and put it in several accounts; Savings, IRA's, etc. Try to live off 40K a year. That alone would put me at LEAST into early 50's with a decent lifestyle, even if I didn't earn a cent extra, never have a dual income, (wife or girlfriend) etc. But 40K would let me take the occasional trip, or do some cool things, and I'd still find extra work. The tech is where I'd probably spend the most "extra" money. I wouldn't go for a fancy car, but I might get some extras on a decent one. Take some of that 40K and get a crew to help advertise and get me more work; as long as I was at LEAST earning back what I spent, I'd be ok. Take a lot of classes. Cooking classes, dance lessons, maybe; that kind of thing.

[DaTruth44]

If I won I would actually put myself first for once. I would definitely pay off my car, buy me a house and set it up, payoff all my bills, and have some fun. I would help out the family who helped me out during my hardship. Finally I would donate to homeless shelters and food banks. These places are always busy and some are desperate by running out of money. If I won I would consider myself blessed and do what I could to help.

[Lynx122]

I would save it and get someone to invest it for me at least a big part of it. I know that you should make your money work for you but I'm not that interested in money and I have other shit to do with my time I don't spend a lot so I automatically save up money. But If I had this much I'd definitely invest a good chunk of it. But I wouldn't change much about my life.

I believe that life teaches you lessons and having money allows you to skip over those lessons if you want but only in the short term in the long term the things you didn't learn will always come back and hit you way harder than if you'd just learned them the first time.

So I'm not gonna do stupid shit and throw all my money out just because I can. The only people telling me what to do, are people that I want there to help me so I don't have a need to rebel against anyone. Even though I am pretty anti authoritarian there's a difference between not taking shit and just beeing a self sabotaging idiot.

So I'd just save my money up and later when I feel like I'm killing it in life I will definitely still find ways to spend money. But even if I didn't spend it my whole life I wouldn't be sad cause it's more important to me to reach my goals for myself as a person than how much money I have.

Right now my main goal is to get more in touch with my irrational side like emotions, passion, sexuality, all those things because I've gone as far as I can go as a overly rational person :D. I feel like there's so much I haven't experienced yet. So maybe if I succeed I'd blow the whole million in one weekend who knows? I wouldn't be sad about that either because it would mean I've found a new side of myself and did something I've never done before and that would be a success.

[målaaa]

I would immeditaly go on Asos and sites like that and buy all the clothes, accessories and shoes that I want. I'd do the same for sephora, apple, lush and amazon. Then I'd order some room decorations and stuff like that from stores you haven't heard of if you don't live where I do. Then I'd order my own set of groceries online (alcohol mostly :p). I'd upgrade all my accounts to premium, I'd pledge patreons, send superchats to youtubers a lot, and use a lot online like that. And I'd buy anything I want instantly, which would be great!!
When I'm done blowing my money like that (probs would have spent like 20 000 dollars worth of things so so much more :))) I'd book first class shit to go to my summer home like for July, and would order a shitton of furniture to makeover my room there. And I'd buy nice gifts for my family, family friends and mates for when I visit them (if summer holidays happen. It's normal where I am to gift people you haven't seen in a year) but yea basically that's it. when the corona is over, I'd rent an apt and move out.

Knowing me (let's be honest you wouldn't either) I wouldn't give any to charity really exept maybe a few hundred to causes I really really care about. I wouldn't give really any to family or mates, just keep it to myself. At least I'm being honest about it

[CaptainOverthink]

1. Invest in the stockmarket. a lot of stocks have dropped heavily in crisis-times. If you know what to buy, now would be the time.
2. I'd also take the opporotunity to move to some place more central.
3. I have a long list of things that I need to buy just to improve the general quality of life, would be nice to start picking off some of those. Maybe even think about getting a new car that's both practical, economic and sort of environmental. And safe.
4. Save some away for bills, charity causes and emergency funds.

[SjE78]

first thing for me to do would have the money spread out between my kids and all those i've known in my life who were there for me and my kids during the bad times, who chose to be not cos they were asked to be or more accurately not cos they thought they'd get anything out of it... and any debts i may have accumilated upto that point
second, i would invest it in a block of flats for homeless people and have it self sufficient, so each of them would be sent on courses to be able to maintain it, also setting them up for careers so practical trades.
thirdly i would put buy a nice cottage somewhere nothing too big but not too small, and a bit of land so can rescue dogs...
fourth whatever is left goes most will go into savings, a 60's mustang and driving lessons

[Liadon]

For me it'd go to ensuring my studies are successful and I don't encounter financial difficulties during them, and I'd love to travel and work abroad as an English language teacher and use the money to ensure some security in beginning my stay. After I finish this and go back to the field my degree allows me I'd use the money to allow for a residence near my work and to maybe work on a post grad degree. At this point I'd donate a portion of the money to a charity I cared about at the time, put a chunk as part of my retirement fund, and leave the rest to do with as I feel.

[RLovesD7792forever]

pay off my bills then I buy property in san franciso ca and in boca raton fl and in manhattan ny and rent them out and I invest several thousand in the stock market and several thousand in 30 year bonds and several thousand in international bonds and several thousand in cds and several thousand in etf's and mutual funds and then I purchase hotels in Orlando florida and in manhatten ny and near Disney in California. then I buy a private island and turn it into a getaway resort for couples. from there i'd donate some to various charities ie st jude's childrens cancer research hospital and neda and red cross and salvation army (fuck habitats for humanity they acted like jerkoffs when I tried donating to them a couple of times) and eventually I buy my own property and I buy a mansion for my fiancée as well. and i'd pay off whatever bills she has as well. and then i'd tell my family to go fuck themselves and give them the finger and same with my so called friends.

[rissyxox]

i would give 500,000 to country's with no food or clean water, no schools, no medical help and the rest would go to my education purpose. I've got enough money to live in shelter and eat everyday they don't so. they need this money more then i do. and i want to get as much education as possible. my dyslexia will not ruin my future.

[Jjpayne]

I could think of a number of things I need to get started in my life but I could see most going to a charitable cause. My church is currently a small building that could use expansion and a remodel so I could see that helping there. But practically it's hard to know where money should be invested. I would think go fund me would have some good options

[cheapshotbob]

10% would go to my church the rest would go to getting me a customized gas powered golf g=cart to ride the roads on with an attached bb gun from drive by squirrel shootings when i see one or a paint ball gun depending on the sensitivity of the neighbors lol

[Skye1717]

Aside from the sensible possibilities of saving and investing, I'd definitely take a trip overseas, preferably Europe. I'd also probably invest in furthering my education. Although, a really cool house sounds awesome, too - one with a pool and all the great stuff. :)

[jennifer_bloom]

I would buy education - either learn IT or writing or get an online PhD in psychology or mental health and use the winnings to cover my expenses. I would also run an online church ministry and pay for it with my money and I would set up a charity for people at my church who needed money for food and I would create movies encouraging children to be kind and respect their parents.

[AB4815]

1 million after taxes? First I would buy a house, max value 400k. Then probably a newish car, max value of 15k. Then the rest would go into a savings account, where it could collect interest. I'd set up an automatic withdrawal of a couple grand a month into my debit account as if it was a salary, and I'd live off that for as long as it lasted.

[Purplemonkey24]

I would open the old school in my local city for a homeless shelter, with a staff. I'd get my CCW, sell my moms house, pay off my grandma's, buy wherever my mom wants to live. Build her house, build my dads on the same property with a pool and hot tub. I'd buy 3 trikes, 4 four wheelers. Pay off my parents cars, buy a truck and car for myself. Pay off my student debt

[Anonymous]

House (s)
Car
Cut for every member of my family
Tithes/charity work
clothes, shoes and day to day stuff like hair nails etc.
Cosmetic stuff (not plastic surgery I mean like dental etc.)
And then I save the rest Cus this won’t take up the whole 1mil

Honestly I could do with a small £1000 rn Lmao

[Likes2drive]

Exactly what you would do except maybe just buy a home that’s already built and maybe change a few things to my liking , but like you said it’s not likely to happen now so you would need to save it until you can do it. I would travel but not for long time

[ShortCircuit]

I'd invest all of it an extremely safe, conservative stock portfolio, and just collect the yearly returns of 30,000 to 80,000 and add it to my salary. I'd still need a steady, salaried position, but I could afford to take one that paid less and required less hours.

[Kiran_Yagami]

Paying bills. Even I wanted to just splurge, wtf would I spend it on? Everything is closed. I can't go to Vegas and spend it all on strippers. Can't go to Italy and blow it all on hookers. Can't go to Japan and blow it all on Anime waifus. How would I squander it? Buying up random houses? That might actually make money.

[Gsm24diecast]

I would by $1,000,000 in N95 masks and correct PPE gear (Personal protective equipment) for nurses, and doctors, and those who are fighting in the front lines and donate it to hospitals, and doctors offices that need it.

I don't care about money, Id rather help people than fantasize over what i could buy.

[White_Widow]

I'd look around closely, see which business/building I'd really want to have (since a lot of them won't make it because of this coronacrisis) to set up my own restaurant and buy it. So that when the crisis is over, I can run my own restaurant.

[Aakash_Hangargi]

I did not enjoy my life as much as I wanted will roam around the world but unfortunately I am screwed by corona so I will invest the money in research for the antiviral which will earn me lots of more money in future also some part of the money I will transfer to PM funds over here for helping others in a right way government needs people support now

[Walrus_au]

I would look into investing most of it into an account with decent intrest, so that would provide me with an income.

As despicable as I think that behaviour is in devaluing actual workers, I'd be an idiot not to utilise the systems of society as it is to ensure basic comfort.

The rest I would pay off debts, and those of some friends, then probably purchase our family a cyber-truck, maybe our own house.

[Robertcw]

I would honestly buy real estate in cash and start renting it out.

Then after a ROI on investments + a few months of profit I'd buy a house in cash, probably in Florida because of no property taxes.

[AndrewMG]

I've not shaved for 3 weeks, 1 million quid should be enough to remove every evidence of any photos taken with this crazy beard, and anything left can be used to purchase garden shears to trim this atrocity and make me look relatively normal lol

[Phoenix98]

I'd give to my family 400,000$
I'd give 100,000$ of it to a coworker who needs it.
I'd keep 100,000$ for myself
I'd give 100,000$ of it to our church
Then I'd invest 300,000$ of it in investments and stocks.

[CHARismatic110]

I'd give my 10% to the church and pay off my debt. If the world wasn't going through a pandemic then I would travel. I would definitely invest. And I look into buying land and property.

[Hinky]

It would go towards CO19 and STI test kits, for the 6-10 top of the line coke and meth head strippers I would have move in for the rest of this BS crisis. Oh and of course a good chunk goes on coke, ice, and cialis. "Mmmmmmmmm'URICA..."

[Liam_Hayden]

$1M? Towards supporting friends and relatives and a couple of charities that I support. I personally am fine, and actually have enough to retire right now (barring total collapse of the dollar) if I wanted. Not of my own doing. I am the only child of two only children, which made me sole heir of two families.

[6ayequeen]

I am a business women so I would be smart and invest maybe open a few franchises or invest more into my business.

[Hans222]

I would keep it silent and stay very low profile. You don't want people to know it or you get the wrong friends :o

[Wheresthebooze]

I would first pay of my car, buy a house, and buy a bunch of necessities in bulk like food and toiletries. Then I would invest 50k, send my parents a thank you check, and put the rest in savings.

[Mijopapiii]

Well a compound would be the first thing then food, toilet paper, medicine and invite like 10 girls I knew who were not infected and then lock it the fuck down until this is over so I can eat and get laid.

[BroodyRuby]

I would pay off all of my debts and then put the rest in a savings account. Though I would put a bit aside for some splurging, but not too much

[KaidenM]

I would put it all into CD and other high interest accounts and budget myself 25k extra per year while still working and living my normal life

[Unit1]

I'll buy a fancy home in Europe (Finland :D ) and move back finally to my neighboring lands! Then I'll open a business, that will provide erotic massages with beautiful masseuses ♥

[Tim-loves-it]

First of all TELL NO ONE
1. pay bills.
2. Purchase prime hunting land, put a house on it.
3. Pinch myself to make sure this is really happening!

[wellhack]

Ever since I can remember I wanna help homeless people and decided how I could do it
I would buy a 4 or 5 star hotel move them in build a school that'll help them learn life lessons and help them get jobs and move on out

[OlderAndWiser]

I would give money to my church, buy a new car (maybe a VW CC; nothing extravagant,) get a decent houser a nice neighborhood, and probably invest the remainder in bonds and annuities.

[mickcurious]

If you put a million dollars in the bank for 1yr you could live of the interest alone

[David92506]

I would invest the million dollars so it would earn money.

[integrale77]

Pay my bills, quit my job with my uncaring employer and probably try and help some people out

[Lliam]

I'd pay off my car and mortgage and do some improvements around my home.

[matchrestore]

Pay off high interest debts, hire a contractor to finish renovating my house, and invest the rest.

[Apple1996]

Give it all away. Money stresses me out way to much

[nawtee_me]

Part of it would go to disinfecting the rest of it. lol Then I would save the rest for my future business endeavors. It would be the start of a good down payment or loan.

[Dazed0N0Confused]

Bills & Rent. I'd help a few friends and family. Buy new appliances for the house.

[ChiPaPa]

Get rid of my debts and help a friend with their mortgage. Invest the rest for me to live off of.

[sersss]

diversified portfolio on stock market - 50%, real estate - 40%, cash savings and stockpiling food and goods for upcoming shitstorm - 5 %, charity + help struggling friends/ relatives - 5 %.

[mrkdvsn]

I would never win the lottery because I don't gamble. But if I was given 1 Mil, I would donate the majority to causes and orgs that honor God and His values

[JohnWickman]

I would move to a Corona-free environment and try to develop a medicinal product that once taken, you'll never get an STD no matter how raunchy your sex life is

[lookin64]

No change in lifestyle help a few people unknowingly

[Skullhunter_DE]

First I would have to pay my bills.
The remaining would be a new car.
Then I would split it up.
Part for my son (bank account for the future)
Part for the research against Covid-19.
Part for me to live

[Anpu23]

I would probably expand my business and buy a few nice things. But mostly into the company

[Pink2000]

I’d definitely buy a house on a secluded piece of land

[Trooper205]

Definitely buy a Beach House on the Shore of North Carolina, pay off my Student Debt, give a LOAD to my Mom and Family, give at least $100,000 to my Church, and if any is left, let my Girl have it! ❤️❤️❤️

[mimi051998]

Save and invest!! But I'll give some to my parents if they need it too.

[andrermm]

I'd get some respirators and Medical masks. And donate some to the local hospital and get a new hospital running

[BloJo]

First, give to church and other charitable organizations. Then pay off debt. Then invest. Then enjoy.

[LEADFOOTboi]

[hatim_tai]

it won't go anywhere... i'll stash it my bank account and enjoy the rest of my natural life... once i die.. he lawyers can do whatever the hell they want.

[ariadneR]

If it's only a million, then I'll pay off my parents debt, pay a couple Bill's so I won't have to worry about them for me and my brothers, and save the rest
