+43 @LPNTed A tiny house on a LOT of land in the PNW. Maybe have some other houses for single mothers and their kids to get back on their feet run by actual professionals.

+37 @Rude-Manufacturer-86 Hire the lawyer and tax attorney I'd claim the money right away then wait the 4-6 weeks. I'd invest 60% of it. I already have a plan for dividend investments to live off of, a limit to spend for the year, and other growth stocks. House up to $15mil. 1 only. Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid on inventory Porsche Taycan Turbo GT order Hopefully that gets me into a 992.2 GT3 allocation I'd also set a large sum set aside for an investment visa into another country...

+24 @BoozieBumpkin Remember when rates were low any the payout was in excess of 80% of the jackpot? Now it is less than 50%. Makes me wonder is it is even worth winning. Well that is over. Yes, it is!

+17 @throwawayfromPA1701 After I buy a home or two, the take home goes in a trust which invests in instruments that gain interest. Then the interest pays to me to live on. It'll be more than enough per year, more than I'd know what to do with. I will still be frugal though. Not hiring security. Might hire a driver. Well the trust will. It also will pay for my nieces and nephews education. It's fun to think about. I just have to remember to buy a ticket.

+16 @jackgranger99 First off, I'd do a double, triple, and quadruple take before grinning so hard my cheeks hurt. I'd take a picture of me holding the ticket and immediately put in a safe place in my room and text myself where it is. I'd then immediately call up the highest rated fiduciary in my state and work out investments. After I have my investments in order: I'd buy myself a nice house that's at maximum a $1M, the reason is is because I don't want to go too overboard and spend it all on properties. I'd buy myself 2025 Toyota Supra, then I'd snag a 2025 RAV4 as my daily driver. Assuming it's a three car garage, I'd fill the other garage with a Lexus. After the house and cars, I'd take a minute to get used to being rich with that I have before making any other purchases like a vacation house/Condo.

+13 @This_Independent2686 I would take about two weeks to claim it, just taking a bit of time to meet banks, investment specialists and all that jazz. I've been thinking about winning for years so I already have some names written down. Thankfully here in France no need to go public or to have a lawyer to claim it. I also already have a dream Paris apartment and a dream house in the countryside (one is around 8M, the other 14m) but I'd take a few months before moving towards buying them just to digest the news and not make any crazy purchases immediately. The first maybe 3-5 months will be spent taking care of my health (medical checkups, going to the gym everyday, getting new teeth) and traveling a bit on my own by slowly upgrading my lifestyle (I won't jump on the private jet rentals immediately, I'll start with business class then first class, slowly upgrading the rooms in hotels as well just so I don't feel out of place and uncomfortable from the jump). Then after a few months when I'm sure I've digested the news, I'll tell my brother and give him some of that then start looking into buying my dream houses and fully living my dream life. I'm a young single woman but i'd love to have kids someday so both properties are big enough for 3 kids but not humongous enough to bring negative attention to my family. I dream of a convertible Bentley for when I'm in the countryside. I already see myself driving through small towns all around France and Europe in that. No expensive car for when I'm Paris cause it's a bit unsafe and I don't want to draw attention to myself. I will be driven around by upscale driving companies instead.

+11 @cuckoo4doughnuts Not sign the ticket! Scream around the house with my husband. Furiously binge the YouTube videos of what not to do when you win. Hire a lawyer in my state with experience in claiming anonymously Keep my job to finish up a few projects- so maybe quit before Christmas-don't want to burn bridges since I have connections with local contractors, engineers, architects Claim ticket discretely. Deposit funds electronically. Work with financial planners to set up a few trusts for the kids in our family with guidelines that the money can only be used for education, wedding, house down payment. Invest! Develop vague cover story for when questions about money come up. Once I quit my job, road trip across the country for months to search for the perfect city or place to buy a new house. Visit all the national parks. Focus on my physical and mental health. Spend time volunteering and contributing to my immediate community. Try to raise normal kids who practice gratitude and generosity. And probably buy a boob lift and a sporty tricked out Bronco

+9 @Hot_Librarian_8748 Buy visa for New Zealand buy nice historic large house there. Private schools and tutors for my younger kids, let my older kids go to college in Europe somewhere.
