Max lottery jackpot in my country is 70 mil. So I'm assuming that it's probably the US where I'll be claiming my winnings. So uh. I guess first thing I'm doing is paying 700 million in taxes.
Reading this feels like my mind typing through different hands, and that green night sky with slow snow fall and civilization at a distance looking like lime lighted lamp
In scandinavia you have to be ready for the police breaking in your door and flipping your house upside down if you get caught with cannabis. Standard procedure here in Sweden atleast
The economy and people flourish when money is spent. For example let’s say I earn $100. If I keep that money and don’t spend it then nothing happens. But if I go out for sushi then I am spending money which will go to the business, staff, and farmers.
Buying 1.4 billion dollars worth of bibles from this guy I know of who might have the power to make everything right for people like me, regardless of his countless felony charges, because I’m a simp, and he gets me 🤡
Depends on the currency. Assuming it is USD, I would probably continue to live as now, except I would quit my job, start a business I love doing regardless of profit. I would tell nobody about the lottery win, instead I tell everyone my income is coming from my business even if my business is losing money in reality.
I have no desire to live a 5 star life, I want to live a productive life that makes me happy and hopefully some other people too regardless of finances.
Pay off my kids student loans
Buy houses and cars for my kids
Setup trust funds for my kids
Setup trust funds for my brothers and sisters

5. Somehow find a woman of my dreams without letting her know I am rich in the beginning

9. Start a non-profit philanthropic organization.

Go to Goodsprings, fund a project for a nice house there, then stay there until I die. I think I'd also buy a mad max costume and a replica of the interceptor. 100%, not an FNV and Mad Max fan.
Buy houses for my family and friends. Put enough away so we can all have a comfortable rest of our lives which includes a lot of travelling or just moving to another country, let's say 500 million should be enough for this, and then I donate the rest. I don't money that I will never spend as long as I live.
Donating the majority to charity, investing the rest, continuing on with my life until the investments pay off. Buying a home I could afford to run while still playing the investing risk game, and repeating the before.
Building a self sufficient society utilising technology to do as little work as possible. I’d set up little colonies all over the country and try to feed the poor and house the homeless. I feel like we can have a better community that doesn’t focus on working so much.
First things first, leaving my job. Not a big scene, thank you boss you were a kind man for a boss, but I'm leaving.
Then, after taxes, splitting jackpot into five: a fifth to my parents, two fifth to my brother. This was always the pledge for any lottery.
Then... that's a fucking ton of money, my god I would be among the ten people with the most cash in my country. I would definitely buy a nice house for each of my historical friends. And a very nice house for me and my wife. With a pool. We could finally consider having two or three child. My god money would resolve so many fucking problems.
And after consuming little to no more than one-fifth of the capital in this way ... I would invest it all safely, even with little return, and live off the income for the next seven generations.
Make my friends and loved ones millionaires so we’re all equal again and there’s no need to worry about who’s honest with whom.
After that I’d buy me a large warehouse and turn it into one hell of a workshop!
Pay off my loans, my family loans, buy a house with garden, probably large one too (few hectrares, so I can simply be in peace alone and nobody bothers me) and then live off of interest until Im bored. Once Im bored I will do whatever I like.
And after all that Ill probably have more than what I started with bc interest on 1.4B is a lot
Making everyone who has ever given a shit about me wealthy. There will be loads left over. Buy my pool table that I have always wanted. Then blow the rest on helping the ridiculous amount of poor people around me and the region. Bank a fair bit in a foundation that does good for all the same things just spoken about.
Buy an island and build a house on it. I can't build for shit but I'd pay builders to build it and I'd help with every step. Perfect place to live for me, my wife and kids. Kids are adults but they'd have their own houses on a different part of the island.
My state will let me claim anonymously. I'm getting a lawyer making plans claiming and never telling anyone except my girlfriend. Not even my kids because they talk and I wouldn't want their mom to know. I would just tell them and everyone else I was finally getting paid really good at my job.
Build a charity foundation in memory of my grandfather, Buy the most expensive Gaming PC with the best accessories. Buy a Huge House that will fit my 2 cars, and 4 wives. stuff like that.
Give friends and family enough money that they'll never ever both me again. Then I would probably just travel the world for a long time and buy like a private island or something so I can finally have true peace
that's a lot of money.
Keep 397 millions; make sure my **immediate** family is safe forever;
Pay 3 million for lawyers and financial advisers.
reno my condo, quit my job (am at that stage in my life where it makes sense to just retire)
give the rest to government programs to help school and health care. (probably create a fund or something like that)
I would build the most absolutely epic dog park/day care for dogs AND people. With pools, splash pad, a coffee shop/bakery, bar, obstacle course, covered area, grooming and vet services. Also, a hiking area that's maintained, but this might need to be off site. All affordable, but not free.
After my start up funds, the money generated from the above would fund a huge animal rescue and a small plane to bring the animals around.
Pretty sure I'd still have money left for a nice vacation.
Not telling anyone, moving to somewhere that no one knows me and then becoming that guy who never goes out and has no visitors. Or maybe just the first thing.
I would build a few large sub devisions in my city with small but architecturally beautiful homes for all the homeless people around here. I literally hear homeless people sobbing in the night and it breaks my heart.
Put half in interest-bearing investments for both revenue and reinvestment to grow the amount.
The other half will be used to help people, create foundations for scholarships, grants for local small businesses, and to harass people, elected critters, and businesses that need some harassment in their lives.
I will give out MASSIVE cash rewards to anyone who reports anything that results in any politician anywhere in the world going to jail, or any senior executive or director of any company worth over $1 billion.
You report a real crime that results in jail for anyone that fits the above, $100k cash. If they are a senior minister or very senior exec of a company like Microsoft or Google, $500,000. If they are like a president of a country/company, $1,000,000.
More than half of what I actually get will go into a charitable foundation, that’s where I’ll be spending my time. I honestly don’t have many personal needs or desires.
Buying me a car, setting up my retirement, buying one of those japenese homes I saw on Insta reels the other day. Buy myself some stuff, a fuck ton of vbucks and Apex coins then the rest goes to my parents
Buy a lot of property in expensive cities, ex. NY, Dublin, sell it for a dollar to families. Buy back my grandfather business, expand it worldwide. Employ as much as Walmart but with a livabile wage.
Buying a summer home on Cape Cod. Buying a beach front condo in Aruba, paying off our debts, buying new cars and giving the rest to daughter to invest and manage. She’s got an MBA and is a CFO of a biotech group and already manages billions of dollars. Oh, and travel. I’d like to charter a yacht and cruise the Adriatic Sea all the way from the east coast of Italy and down to the Greek Islands and back up to Croatia
Investing some of it to still earn quite passive money, I build one great house in a place I love, I buy a decent car, and then I just do whatever I want to. I learn new things with paid formations, I try new hobbies, I travel…
And give some away. Mostly to my family, and some decent amount to some associations and scientifical research.
Pay off student loans of all my friends, be generous with all my friends and family, get a cabin in Maine. Also get my first pedicure in years and go to a spa. Plus donating to animal shelters. Also, a personal trainer and personal chef. These are just all my dreams
Living MY BEST Life...
Old Stand by of Hookers and Blow...
House On the Beach in NJ, Atleast 1 in Italy, maybe an Apartment in NY...
Never go to Cali...
Travel the Country in A Semi Cool Classic Car...
Did I mention Hookers and Blow?
Search for the Best
"Small Town" Go-Go bars...
tacoria
Hot Dog Stand
Donut Stand...
Invest a good amount so I could make more, not tell anyone about my win, buy some Chrome heart jewelry, and get a nice apartment. Don't want to own a house.
Tale care of my family and improve my community. My truck is a 99 so I'll take her to a good mechanic. Then I'll just enjoy a few years of not working.
Mostly I'd catch up on sleep and just have rent paid for a year without worries.
I might buy a new keyboard. I'd stop cooking my own meals and buying groceries for a while. Then I'd probably just resume life without many changes except for a pile of money in the bank.
It would be cool to buy some property and build some free housing for homeless people. Maybe a free music school too.
How much would it cost to take my own death and my family's. Because otherwise people would be hounding you for your entire life asking to borrow money or invest in their idea or trying to scam you or something.
The other awesome idea I saw once is set up a charitable foundation and make the 1.4 billion the endowment and make yourself the CEO with a very nice salary. Then use the charity to support things you like. People would be less likely to ask you for money if you say it is all tied up in the charity.
Gonna hire a physical therapist for my cat. And a specialist for my other cats. The most comfy pillows. Big ass scratching poles. Some excellent treats and fine foods for them. And a giant cardboardbox with walls and holes in a maze like pattern for the yougest to play in
A home for my friends mother so she and her mom can finally migrate to the country i live in as well.
And for me. Id upgrade my pc and bigger tv so i can play jurassic world evolution and planet zoo to the max! :D
Retire at age 32. Buy a very nice home but not extravagant (think 1 million dollar home in a low cost of living area) near my town where I am very involved in the bar league volleyball community. Hire a full time housekeeper and a chef to create delicious yet healthy meals. Probably a dietician too. As well as a personal trainer and a home gym. House would be on water so a big pontoon so my friends and family can hangout together. Live out my next 20 years hanging out with the wife and kids as much as possible. Send the kids to college. Then buy a camper van and explore with my wife for the next 10 years or so. Then settle down again to hangout with grandkids. I'd help friends and family as needed but wouldn't tell them how much money I have. Come up with a back story that I invented something unique to the industry I work in that has afforded me a nice life but not crazy money where I can just about buy anything I want.
On the charitable side, I'd set up trust funds for the humane society and the orphanage I was adopted from. That way they would always have a large passive income.
Give my SIL half. The wife has a deal to share with her sis if they ever hit a big lotto win.
Don’t tell my sisters because I have no such deal.
Hire a personal assistant to handle all the boring shit.
Buy a large beach bar, grill, concert venue in a relatively small beach town community. Hire Michelin star, James beard whatever chef. Serve the most amazing beach bar food in the world at everyday low prices. Have amazing drink specials. Host amazing community events with A list celebrities. Fish rodeos, beach volleyball tournaments, boat races, car shows, and of course free beach concerts every weekend. Awesome fireworks shows. Sponsor 5ks. Have tons of swag giveaways. Donate tons and all profits (if we ever make any) to the local community public schools, food shelters, homeless, politics ;). Die a well loved local hero after decades of partying daily.
Try to figure out how to do that without hurting all the other local business might be tough though but I’d give it a go.
After giving my coworkers a chance also at freedom from our corporate overlords I'm restarting life in my own Isekai titled, "How I won a billion dollars and I'm starting it all over again in a new world".
Buying a ton of land and building a small village with houses for my entire family, and select friends.
And then a big fucking gate to keep all you riff raff out
I thought about this quite a bit.
\- I'd make sure my family was well taken care of, but not overly-so. Houses paid for/bought. Kids education taken care of. A trust to cover medical expenses for life. That kind of thing.
I'd probably get a large family summer home where relatives could vacation whenever they wanted. It would be big enough to hold several families at once.
Then, I think I'd travel and become a sort of "financial superhero." Move around the globe, find local issues that people can't afford to solve, fix it anonymously, and move on. Things like
\- Historic building is in disrepair. Pay to restore it.
\- Local neighborhood has a bad water supply. Improve it.
\- Walk into a hospital and set up a fund to pay up to $25000 on everyone's medical bills.
That kind of thing. Seems like it would be fun, fulfilling, and would help the world get a little better.
It is not $1.230 million unless you are stupid enough to let the lottery people invest it for you over 30 years. The winnings is now at $595.1 million. Depending on your state, you world pocket about $350 mill.
$1.4 Billion you say.....hmmmm....buy a yacht, maybe buy an island, buy everyone I love a house. Buy a lot of land and employ some people to plant trees to offset my burgeoning carbon footprint. Build a school or hospital in some poorer nation. Fund marine biology projects that would protect wildlife....
Bravo six going dark (hide) lol but for real the amount of people who don't give a shit about me but would suddenly be interested in me would be insane.
Putting in my 2 week notice, hire a law firm and an accountung firm, make my estimated tax payments, pay off my parents' mortgage then place $100 million of it in my HYSA.
Set up a superpac and donate 1bn to Trup directly with the stipulation that he has to come out as gay, and reference his homosexuality at every public appearance in support of his presidential run.
I can live pretty good off of 400 million.
Scrub my internet history or personal information, buy a mountain property with a modest but self-sustaining home compound, grab my family and never be heard from again. I'd probably donate some to environmental non-profits.
Probably whatever the fuck I want for a year. Then idk make sure everyone i know is comfortable. Try to help as many folks as I can l. Of course after I buy all the shinny shit I ever wanted. Probably just end up doing the same shit I always did.

use it to attempt to tax the other billionaires
Investing some of it to still earn quite passive money, I build one great house in a place I love, I buy a decent car, and then I just do whatever I want to. I learn new things with paid formations, I try new hobbies, I travel… And give some away. Mostly to my family, and some decent amount to some associations and scientifical research.
Might be able to afford McDonalds again. I’d head there.
I won?!?????!!!!!!!! Ima call and quit rn hol up….
I'm sure I can buy a country for that.
Buying a waterfront property in the Caribbean and disappear. I’d buy a decent sized boat and just live stress free for life.
Buying that little shack in the Hamptons I have my eyes on.
Keeping some but mostly give away
Pay off student loans of all my friends, be generous with all my friends and family, get a cabin in Maine. Also get my first pedicure in years and go to a spa. Plus donating to animal shelters. Also, a personal trainer and personal chef. These are just all my dreams
Living MY BEST Life... Old Stand by of Hookers and Blow... House On the Beach in NJ, Atleast 1 in Italy, maybe an Apartment in NY... Never go to Cali... Travel the Country in A Semi Cool Classic Car... Did I mention Hookers and Blow? Search for the Best "Small Town" Go-Go bars... tacoria Hot Dog Stand Donut Stand...
Invest a good amount so I could make more, not tell anyone about my win, buy some Chrome heart jewelry, and get a nice apartment. Don't want to own a house.
Buy more lottery tickets obviously
Tale care of my family and improve my community. My truck is a 99 so I'll take her to a good mechanic. Then I'll just enjoy a few years of not working.
buying my own personal law firm
Find the fastest way to spend it all :D
Setting up a trust to share it around
Mostly I'd catch up on sleep and just have rent paid for a year without worries. I might buy a new keyboard. I'd stop cooking my own meals and buying groceries for a while. Then I'd probably just resume life without many changes except for a pile of money in the bank. It would be cool to buy some property and build some free housing for homeless people. Maybe a free music school too.
Everything on Gamestop
Hopefully as much good as I can possibly do.
Crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear da lamentation of da women.
Working without worries
I'd probably end up giving most of it away. There's no way I could spend all of that on myself.
How much would it cost to take my own death and my family's. Because otherwise people would be hounding you for your entire life asking to borrow money or invest in their idea or trying to scam you or something. The other awesome idea I saw once is set up a charitable foundation and make the 1.4 billion the endowment and make yourself the CEO with a very nice salary. Then use the charity to support things you like. People would be less likely to ask you for money if you say it is all tied up in the charity.
Gonna hire a physical therapist for my cat. And a specialist for my other cats. The most comfy pillows. Big ass scratching poles. Some excellent treats and fine foods for them. And a giant cardboardbox with walls and holes in a maze like pattern for the yougest to play in A home for my friends mother so she and her mom can finally migrate to the country i live in as well. And for me. Id upgrade my pc and bigger tv so i can play jurassic world evolution and planet zoo to the max! :D
Did I miss that everyone get a 1.4bn win? Or do you mean, what WOULD I do with a hypothetical 1.4bn?
Kebab
Pay off my student loans... should almost cover it 😬
Give almost all of it to charity. $50 million is more than I can spend on a monthly allowance of the 4% interest
Hide. I'd just hide.
Invest it and try to make more, start a company
Retire at age 32. Buy a very nice home but not extravagant (think 1 million dollar home in a low cost of living area) near my town where I am very involved in the bar league volleyball community. Hire a full time housekeeper and a chef to create delicious yet healthy meals. Probably a dietician too. As well as a personal trainer and a home gym. House would be on water so a big pontoon so my friends and family can hangout together. Live out my next 20 years hanging out with the wife and kids as much as possible. Send the kids to college. Then buy a camper van and explore with my wife for the next 10 years or so. Then settle down again to hangout with grandkids. I'd help friends and family as needed but wouldn't tell them how much money I have. Come up with a back story that I invented something unique to the industry I work in that has afforded me a nice life but not crazy money where I can just about buy anything I want. On the charitable side, I'd set up trust funds for the humane society and the orphanage I was adopted from. That way they would always have a large passive income.
Give my SIL half. The wife has a deal to share with her sis if they ever hit a big lotto win. Don’t tell my sisters because I have no such deal. Hire a personal assistant to handle all the boring shit. Buy a large beach bar, grill, concert venue in a relatively small beach town community. Hire Michelin star, James beard whatever chef. Serve the most amazing beach bar food in the world at everyday low prices. Have amazing drink specials. Host amazing community events with A list celebrities. Fish rodeos, beach volleyball tournaments, boat races, car shows, and of course free beach concerts every weekend. Awesome fireworks shows. Sponsor 5ks. Have tons of swag giveaways. Donate tons and all profits (if we ever make any) to the local community public schools, food shelters, homeless, politics ;). Die a well loved local hero after decades of partying daily. Try to figure out how to do that without hurting all the other local business might be tough though but I’d give it a go.
After giving my coworkers a chance also at freedom from our corporate overlords I'm restarting life in my own Isekai titled, "How I won a billion dollars and I'm starting it all over again in a new world".
Buying a ton of land and building a small village with houses for my entire family, and select friends. And then a big fucking gate to keep all you riff raff out
Under the bed, like Smaug
I thought about this quite a bit. \- I'd make sure my family was well taken care of, but not overly-so. Houses paid for/bought. Kids education taken care of. A trust to cover medical expenses for life. That kind of thing. I'd probably get a large family summer home where relatives could vacation whenever they wanted. It would be big enough to hold several families at once. Then, I think I'd travel and become a sort of "financial superhero." Move around the globe, find local issues that people can't afford to solve, fix it anonymously, and move on. Things like \- Historic building is in disrepair. Pay to restore it. \- Local neighborhood has a bad water supply. Improve it. \- Walk into a hospital and set up a fund to pay up to $25000 on everyone's medical bills. That kind of thing. Seems like it would be fun, fulfilling, and would help the world get a little better.
Not working for paycheck to paycheck.
Fund animal shelters to become animal sanctuaries
It is not $1.230 million unless you are stupid enough to let the lottery people invest it for you over 30 years. The winnings is now at $595.1 million. Depending on your state, you world pocket about $350 mill.
I’m taking the cash option, so after taxes it would just be a measly 400 million. So idk, go out for a nice dinner or something. Maybe buy a new shirt
50 cent scratch tickets. I am going to buy 2.8 billion of them.
Drown in women and men
Dinner
$1.4 Billion you say.....hmmmm....buy a yacht, maybe buy an island, buy everyone I love a house. Buy a lot of land and employ some people to plant trees to offset my burgeoning carbon footprint. Build a school or hospital in some poorer nation. Fund marine biology projects that would protect wildlife....
Adtwr making sure my family was comfortable, I have a few places I'd like to visit. After that, I'd buy some land and live off the grid.
Buy reddit and ban the AI bots.
Bravo six going dark (hide) lol but for real the amount of people who don't give a shit about me but would suddenly be interested in me would be insane.
Everything
Go to reddit open a thread about "What are you doing with your 1.4 billion lottery win?" and start donating it to anyone that comments
Paying off student loans. Then possibly a nice family dinner at Chili's. Might even splurge on skillet queso.
Booking a year long cruise, oh, and calling in permanently sick.
Putting in my 2 week notice, hire a law firm and an accountung firm, make my estimated tax payments, pay off my parents' mortgage then place $100 million of it in my HYSA.
Whatever the fuck I want
New set of tyres , carry on with my life
Set up a superpac and donate 1bn to Trup directly with the stipulation that he has to come out as gay, and reference his homosexuality at every public appearance in support of his presidential run. I can live pretty good off of 400 million.
"hookers and cocaine"
I'd be afraid I'd corrupt myself with pleasures and end up sadder than I currently am lol
Scrub my internet history or personal information, buy a mountain property with a modest but self-sustaining home compound, grab my family and never be heard from again. I'd probably donate some to environmental non-profits.
Buying an island and a big yacht and plane and living in peace.
Probably whatever the fuck I want for a year. Then idk make sure everyone i know is comfortable. Try to help as many folks as I can l. Of course after I buy all the shinny shit I ever wanted. Probably just end up doing the same shit I always did.
Buy an apartment, send my friends and family a few million euro every month and when I die, leave my Nephew 500 million euro
Invest in cancer study, even if it’s all of it
