I'd buy $200 worth of sushi and the put the rest in the bank and never speak of it again.

I would remain silent about my good fortune and avoid the freeloaders.

I'd give it to a homeless person, I don't need that much fiat, let them blow it all on hookers and blow for all I care, maybe they'd use it to turn their life around, that's a gamble in itself that I'd be willing to take

The reason I asked this by the way is someone not too far from me won £186 million on the lottery a few days back and made what I think is a very unwise decision to go public about it.
Keep my mouth shut cause you will have relatives you never even knew existed come out of the wood work asking for money.

Stay silent, otherwise you will get thousands of people looking for easy money. You might tell your immediate family, perhaps buy them a house, or pay it off for them, or give their children college funds, but even they can turn into leeches if your to generous.

I would buy a couple thousand acres in the middle of nowhere, get a decent house that can't be seen from the road, and try not to flaunt my newfound wealth.

An even worse one recently, a woman who won £160 million went on TV and said she loves giving money away. LOL!!!

Going public with that amount of money is just asking to get robbed in broad daylight.

Just stay quiet and don't make it obvious that you are wealthy enough to bribe every politician in your country.

Up here you can live for next to nothing, so I'd keep just enough to keep me comfortable for the next thirty years (a couple thousand) and give the rest to a political/social cause that I won't mention in here because it's against the COC.

Either that or I'd buy the next Grim Dawn DLC and keep the remaining 75 cents.

I'd never go public; leeches will start preying on the wealth and people will view you differently. There is saying that I love "money talks but wealth whispers". I would not even whisper. :hp_kyu:

What would I do....
Bury it in a cemetery, and make it a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hunt for it.
Whether people like it or not, I'm doin' the The Good, bad & ugly scenario.

hell you only live once I like to see people do random acts of kindness, I'd probably withdraw a certain amount and then put it randomly over towns and stuff, like a banksy but I bring the bank, see?
