I would get into a cash game within 3 days.

Invest 3 mil into a local card room, cash out a house for about 1.5, surprise 10 family members with a $200.000 check, the rest is mostly bankroll money.

If I won $10 million (tax free in Australia :) ) playing poker, I would take a break from everything for a few months and travel around the world. I'd take a break from study, work, poker, etc.

Then after a few months of holiday, I'd buy a nice house for maybe $3M, buy a Ferrari, give some money away to family/friends, buy a few investment properties and become an evil landlord (mwahahaha), deposit some cash into long-term bank deposits and put a relatively small amount of money (probably $50k at most) towards my future poker bankroll. I'd also finish my university degree and treat poker as just a recreational activity that I do on weekends for fun.

I would definitely take a break but I'd probably take a ten year break.

I would probably get into staking in mid-low stakes. I like staking here and there , if I have the BR. And I would move Canada to play and win on Stars TAX FREE. LOL.

Why that cold place when you can live in countries like Australia that has year round temps above 10c, T-Shirts and Shorts for most of the year, better beer and also TAX FREE gambling winnings and we get 2 public holidays for sporting events, no other country can say that they get paid to go to the football or the horse races and have a few beers and bets, then there's ANZAC day public holiday https://www.awm.gov.au/commemoration/anzac/anzac-tradition/ which is the only legal day that the public can play Two Up https://www.awm.gov.au/encyclopedia/two_up/howto/ One of the country race tracks near me has it's Cup Day on ANZAC day and we usually go to the track and all I do is play two up, you can make a big profit with a little luck on your side.

If I won that amount of money the first thing I would do is buy some land with high ridges, mixed with vast flatlands. I would draw up some basic one-level floor-plans, designed to be 4 person group homes. I would set up an off the grid system for those homes with wind mills/ solar panels, as well as geo-thermal. I would find a manageable number of homes I can build, and have necessary lumber cut and taken from the land. I would break each floor plan into a parts list, and have a repeatable process for each home that is built. I would also live in one of these homes. I would begin an L.L.C. and open up group homes, and employ nursing assistants. I would offer all employees and their families the opportunity to invest into one of our homes at minimal profit, and minimal cost due to the control of the process. I would gradually build an off the grid community based around caring for others with greater needs than ours, and being self sustaining in caring for each other and ourselves. I would grow this model to include farming and food production at a high standard, and with very diverse yields. We would, as much as possible, provide all our own food products. ... Once I establish this, and grow it to include restaurants and shops serving food provided by our farms and run by us, I feel I would have a sound enough system living and growing that I could spend the rest of my life enjoying what time I have left and gamble it up ;)

If I won 10 million I would move to a Caribbean island, do a lot of charity work, and spend much much less time and effort on poker
