I guess it would depend on the amount. But a House would be the top of the list.

I would probably spend this money to play sunday million hopping for bigger money or play S&G for high stakes.

- Would buy a house?
- Would invest in real estate, shares and cryptocurrencies?
- Would buy a car?
- It would help your family?

What would you spend that money on?
Buy my mum a house, take her on a world holiday and give her cash

if I won a large sum of money, I would help my family and friends first, after which I would buy a big house and a cool car to drive through the streets, invest the rest of the money in a business and work for my own business that would bring me money all my life and continue to play poker, of course

I already own my own House, So no there, Real Estate and Shares are a possibility as I own a Few already so boosting my holdings would not be impossible but I still do not trust Cryptocurrencies, If I cannot fold it and put it in my Pocket I am not interested.
The car I drive is maybe a little old but with only 62,000 Miles on the clock she is good for a lot more yet and as for Family? I brought my kids up to be Independent, and be able to look after themselves, But they know one day they will get a share of everything I have.
Until then they have more than enough to live Happily.

Define big prize....

I define big prize as mid 7 figures. So that's 4-5m+.

Likely do nothing different then I do now just on a much bigger scale.
1) Pay any credit cards, car loans or anything like that. Starting with the highest interest rate ones first.
2) Help my mom. Only parent left. Sister and niece simply don't need help.
3) Vacation.
4) Leave some aside for the poker bankroll.
5) Christmas/birthday gifts.
6) Early retirement from real job.

Cheers!!!

Maybe pay off the mortgage or a bit of it so my net income would be higher. Depends on the amount really. You can’t do a lot with a few thousand in reality. Maybe just bank it and invest in savings, interest rates are looking better now than in the last few years.

I would put it in an inheritance fund and see who tries to knock me off so I can write them out of my will.

This year 2024 I will earn enough money to go to Las Vegas in October, I hope I have enough left over to buy a cheaper used Harley Davidson, tickets from Brasilia/Las Vegas are approximately US$1200, It shouldn't be that difficult in 2018 I managed to earn 1k in a week

The first thing I would do would be buy a house and a car, then I would try to invest the remaining money in some profitable business.
