I always wondered what would i do first with the money if i would have the opportunity to play in a big prizes tournament and i would win let's say over a million bucks:p:D; what can i say... lucky me;); anyway until today i wasn't able to find the answer at this question probably because there are so many things which i want to do its and all seems to be important so it's quite hard to establish a priority.
What about you guys? What would you do?

I would buy Bentley Mulsanne speed :D; Its better to not think about prize money when you enter such a tournament - it is unnecessary distraction only.

I'd open up a pornography business after getting a computer science degree or during.

My general priority would be my own home. I have only a rental apartment now.

Wouldn't change a thing. Have a good balance in my life that makes me happy. Took some time to get it that way.

Seriously I don't know , I am not a materialist and hopefully I have all I need in my life for now. Maybe I could do some investments or buy some extra houses in order to rent them. But for sure if at some point win some good money I will withdraw almost all of them and leave a good bankroll in order to continue my hobby :)

Apparently, I would start playing even more time to improve my game and get new great victories.

I would set aside a poker bankroll that didn't outlive my means and then I would travel with the WPT.
Of course the normal car house Roth IRA investment portfolio...that's goes without saying

This has been on my mind a lot especially since I have been able to take some shots lately at some bigger tourneys. First I would get 100% debt free, I would then buy a Tour buss and play a good balance of tourneys on the HPT, WPT, WSOPC, wsop, and RunGoodSeries and play on Poker after dark. Create a twitch stream for my off travel times, and use the remaining time for time with family and other hobbies.

I would hope I would take most of it out and save the money! The poker player in me though says to move up to the highest level possible and start grinding to win even more! This is obviously a horrible idea though considering it would be very dumb to invest it all back into poker. I hope I someday get the opportunity to make that decision though! Lol

A million dollars? 750K in the bank, 150K to cover three years expenses, and 100K for poker so I can play full time and make a living without needing a 9 to 5 job.
