Depends on if it's a "windfall" level win or "generational wealth" win...

Former? I'd just pay off all my debts, purchase vehicles, finish house projects, plan a nice vacation. Dump a prudent sum into long term investments minimizing tax burden since I'd already have paid a ton for the stupid lump sum... definitely would build a wicked 4Runner(and maybe get a Porsche for track days...).

For the latter? I'd up and disappear for a few months at least, just to weather the storm of bullshit fake friends and extended family drama.

Burner phones only. Social media turned off. Sabbatical from (or quit) work for both my wife and myself. Pay a contractor friend to finish my house projects, sell it.

While flying under the radar we'd probably be traveling across the US, looking for where we'd like to settle down long term, since its NOT in metro Detroit... Tennessee, Texas or Wyoming are far more likely, to name a few. Find a nice piece of property with good views and start designing our fortress of solitude (I'm an Architect). Someplace with elbow room. 100+ acres where I can't see the neighbors.

Probably would also charter a decent size yacht in the Med for a month or three. Order a yacht, fast cruising catamaran most likely. Google Gunboat 68... Travel a LOT while the house and yacht are under construction.

By this time philanthropy can be planned. Pay off extended family members student loans, set up a trust for future family scholarships with tight GPA requirements. Make a silly donation to my alma mater that gets my name on something dumb, like a bathroom, just to stick it to the faculty that didn't like me.

Work for fun from that point on, maybe get into development. Spend seasons at the Fortress of Solitude or cruising the world, weather and obligations depending.

Get a proper financial advisor and invest, pay off student loans and get on the housing ladder, nothing too overboard though, I'd get a job with flexible hours and pursue my hobbies.

If we're talkin' $$$ on the level of the recent Powerball, then:

- $1M to each of my old college buddies still alive (7 @ CSUC, 4 @ UW)
- $1M to each of my parents, siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins
- $10M to Shriners (treated my youngest cousin for years for free)
- $10M to Make A Wish Foundation for kids' fishing and hunting wishes
- $10M to Wounded Warriors Project for those who've served to protect our way of life
- $10M to Boone & Crockett Club conservation & hunter education programs
- $10M to Pope & Young Club conservation & hunter education programs
- $10M to Teddy Roosevelt Conservation Program
- $10M to Mule Deer Foundation
- $10M to Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation
- $10M to California Deer Association
- $10M to CalTrout
- $10M to Trout Unlimited
- $10M to Salmonid Restoration Federation
- $10M to WY Game & Fish Dept. to invest for funding a scholarship program for high school students going into similar work
- $10M to my high school to re-fund music, sports, shop and other "non-essential" programs, along with a new human ethics class
- $10M to 4-H so that kids can stop sellin' lambs, calves and pigs for obscene prices and learn what makin' a living in Ag is really all about
- $50M to prosecute each and every Cal-Trans manager and City, County, State and Federal politician who were instrumental in taking our six-generation family ranch (est. 1852) by eminent domain, just to use for environmental offset in a highway bypass project for urban transplant commuters

After the tax write-offs from the donations, the rest is gravy!
- Costa Rica beach house
- New Zealand fishing lodge
- Private Jet, pilot, etc.

Might even break down and get needed back surgery.
Hell, as long as we're dreamin'!

I would give a bunch to charities for children and animals, buy a small cabin out in the middle of nowhere, and then probably use the rest to piss off people who annoy me. So yeah, I probably shouldn't win.

A few years back there was a memorable set of posts on Reddit covering this subject. You're probably screwed, but if you're going to cash in, there are ways to play it safe. BlakeClass comments on What's the happiest 5-word sentence you could hear?

A couple of different things:

1. Retire the Family
2. Buy a Ranch
3. STUDENT LOANS
4. Start college accounts for future children
5. Charity Donations
6. Travel to Europe

And the cliche final answer, find a financial advisor and retire myself at 20.

Accept it anonymously then bug out for several months. Yes. I'd quit my job and sell my house/cars to do that.
Just get away from all the freeloading scumbags that will hound you and try to rip you off.
Hire a lawyer and CPA. I trust my current financial advisor so no worries there. Make them all distrustful of each other. LOL

Then after that.
New house/land in good school district or near a good private school with a separate house on the prop for my mom.
Build giant woodshop with all the fancy tools I can't afford now.
Set up a monthly salary from the investments that is well within reason <200k.
Maybe buy a second house at a nearby ski resort.
Raise my kid. Build furniture. Travel. Help out some charities. Keep it simple and stress free.
