1. Who do you call first?

Well, after the excitement wore off and I started to realize that the government was going to come in and take about half of my winnings, I’d call Wifey™ up and let her know that we won just enough to pay off our house and bills and then have no money left. Ugh.

2. What is the first thing you buy for yourself?

Okay, let’s say that I have some money left after paying off my house and bills. Just to be crazy, I’d probably buy myself a vacation to Europe, where I’d spend about a month traveling to Italy, Rome and Greece. Um, and I’d buy a nice silver BMW or Mercedes.

3. What is the first thing you buy for someone else?

Ugh. I have to share it. Definately buy a car for Wifey™. We really could use a second car.

4. Do you give any away? If yes, to whom?

Jesus. Now I have to give it away too. It’s only a million dollars guys. In California, that’s not all that much. The first people that would get any money from me would be our family. If I won, say, ten million dollars, I’d probably start with our or financials, then family, then work on a few friends and once all those people were taken care of, I’d set up a charity trust so that I could help some people in need.

5. Do you invest any? If so, how?

Definately. But thats what a financial advisor is for. I’d probably buy some property and set up a fund that would give me enough to live off the interest. You certainly don’t want to be one of these losers that spends it all and is left with nothing. The idea is to make it last for the rest of your life.
