If so, what was that like? I’ve been thinking a lot about what the optics would be like if I were to win a large lottery. Obviously, those around you would notice that your lifestyle has changed even if you try your best to make it less obvious. I wouldn’t live an overly lavish lifestyle, but I ...

I just don't understand why there's a risk of someone murdering you. It's not like friend would get any money from doing so? And why wouldn't you give family some to help them out if it's a lot. Like 10s of millions. I just don't understand what the harm in giving close fa...

For those really waning to live it up - Let’s go through the tiers of spending. If you won 100 mil or more At what level of winnings would you justify buying a 30 mil plus home, a 5 mil, private travel, a yacht car collection etc etc etc

I think about winning literally every day, and more and more I fear I would become paranoid. I would be (even) more reclusive, overly cautious, untrusting… On the other hand I would be more generous, active, and I know I wouldn’t be one of those winners who goes bankrupt by buying stupid shit an...

I generally only get a ticket when I’m running an errand and there’s no other ticket that interests me, the odds are awful and the price is a bit high, so it really is only an occasional buy

congrats you won 1.2 million Now days thats not going far, you dont want to ever have to work again, and thats such an amount you can easily squander it if your not wise A nice piece of property, a new truck, a vacation....a failed business venture.....it can go bye bye very fast in America I...

I buy a powerball ticket every draw, and I love imagining how a win could give me a completely new lease on life or how I would spend the money. I expected the sub to be fun, but it’s actually quite gloomy and dramatic. Not about current problems that would make someone fantasize about winning t...

Let’s say you won low 8 figures a year ago. You have your dream car and home, you’ve travelled a bit… What would a typical weekday look like for you? I try to get that deep into my visualizations to help manifest. I plan on getting a home gym so I’d start working out, and also a loaded worksh...

I've heard too many horror stories and I've watched too many true crime documentaries to understand that, although having a lot of money may seem like a paradise, one of the problems that comes with it is people around you suddenly changing. And being from a family that is well known for ...

What is up with the stories of people winning while young? Or people playing a few times and winning? Born under a lucky star?

Powerball in Australia was 40 million so I want to know how would you spend it? Would you tell anyone? What would you invest? What would you splurge on?

People always talk about what they would change after a big win, but what would you miss from your current life if you won? Keep in mind, we are talking a win on par with Edwin Castro, that would require you to change everything. Anonymously claiming is not an option for this scenario. You will g...

10 years ago, if you'd asked me what I'd do with a lottery win, I'd have said: dump it all in a bank term deposit and live off the interest. Looking back, that's a terrible plan — inflation quietly eats the principal over time, and you're also taking on concentrated single-ban...

Edit: theoritical question, not asking if you're gonna tell anyone but more what you perceive winning the lottery to be Is it going to be 1$ ? 10$ ? 1.000$ ? 100.000$ ? 10.000.000$ ? Also, does the amount change depending if you're talking to: your spouse, parents, relatives, coworkers,...

I would not necessarily want to lie to people but saying that I'm 'retired' has certain social baggage.

you find yourself in a situation where you found a lottery ticket for 2 million all winning numbers no one not even cameras saw you pickup the ticket but the person who dropped it is up head of you what do you do take the money or give it back

I told my husband today that if I had money, I wouldn’t care about like a bunch of cars and clothes and whatnot. I want a salad bar set up in my house that someone comes and stocks and freshens up for me so I can have nice salads with all the things that I like best whenever I want.

What would you do with about $2 million after taxes? It's not a colossal jackpot, but damn, it's still life-changing. If he has debts, he has to pay them off first, then secure a roof over his head, and then invest the rest for his retirement.

Tonight's PowerBall jackpot is/was $20 Million. After lump-sum and taxes you have "only" $5.6 Million in the bank. For me, it's easy; I'm retired so I'm just more-retired with an additional $2M in my stocks/bonds portfolio. I'd have a million to splurge; a nice car...

Do you have plans to give back in forms of charity, starting a foundation, or maybe to Church after winning the jackpot? I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas as to where you’re wanting to share your blessings

I'm just curious what people would do in this situation : - Would you keep studying/working? -Would you stop it all and travel the world while you're young? - If you're single, would you wait to meet someone before making big changes to be sure your partner is not just interested ...

There’s a €5,000,000 (tax-free) jackpot tonight here in France. While everyone is busy dreaming about those colossal EuroMillions, Powerball, or MegaMillions billion-dollar prizes, I’ve realized that 5 million is my sweet spot. For me, it’s the ultimate F-U Money. Beyond the material goods, it bu...

This feeling I cannot explain well. I have been playing for nearly 10 years. I only play small amounts, maybe a $5 budget a day. I think of it as a morning coffee or a snack that I sacrifice to play. This scenario was by far the biggest amount that I have won. I was essentially 1 number off wi...

Ive been practicing my manifestation abilities for a bit, I was able to manifest some other pretty nice things, so I think I stand a pretty good chance. But if I did win the Super Lotto and then the Powerball after, would that send alarm bells everywhere starting a full investigation or something...
