When I win the lottery I am living my normal lifestyle,after a few days act like I got evicted,lost my job,and play completely broke to see who my real friends are.

if i win the lottery...ill sit quietly in the corner of the house for hours..keep calm..and I will say to myself "freedom at last"

First thing I will do when I win the lottery: KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT🤫🤐

Canada requires winners to attend classes to help them handle issues that occur after a big win.

Pay debts. Write mom a check. Disappear.

NOT TELL ANYONE, NOT TELL ANYONE AND YEP NOT TELL ANYONE

1. Tell no one 2. Pay off all debts 3. Move 4. Ensure parents are taken care of. 5. Hire an attorney for legal and money issues. 6. Don't flaunt your new wealth. 7. If you are not engaged or married, just don't.

I would sleep for 3 days straight

You forgot to include the 8th thing. Watch all videos of people who won and are now broke. Then watch them again....again.

I would buy a house and a car that is well equipped for my disabled daughter

1.) If possible, take the option of a lump sum payout rather than any kind of structured recurring payments such as an annuity. 2.) Consult a financial advisor. You want to give yourself time to think carefully about how best to proceed so that you do not make any rash or foolish decisions. 3.) Immediately pay off all obligatory taxes associated with the windfall. (Remember what happened to the million dollar "Survivor" winner Richard Hatch? He neglected to pay the IRS, and he ended up broke and criminally prosecuted.) 4.) Donate a portion to charity, preferably including the establishment of some kind of fund or organization that can remain a continual source of positive impact in your local community. (10 percent is the traditional and biblical standard for the amount that should be set aside for this purpose.) 5.) Be discreet about how much money you have come into, and tell as few people as possible. 6.) Without being extravagant or foolish, do buy yourself a few nice items right away (some new clothes, a piece of jewelry, a vehicle perhaps, or that moderately expensive toy - - whatever it may be - - that you have had your eyes on for a while) just to give yourself an introductory experience of the abundance that is now readily available to you. Feeling prosperous and living well should be your state of being. But do not be gaudy or a showoff in how you spend money, because this will only attract unwanted attention, thereby simultaneously making you a potential target and announcing to the world that you are a mere parvenu (i.e., an unsophisticated newly moneyed person who lacks both good taste and good judgement). 7.) Focus primarily on the reasonable long-term needs and goals associated with a stable and comfortable life. A relatively modest residence that you can maintain as a lifelong home for yourself is more important than that fanciful world cruise or an ephemeral non-stop party lifestyle. 8.) Regarding those close friends and family members whom you may genuinely desire to assist with their particular needs and/or financial situations, be generous and helpful but also sensible. Do not allow yourself to become anyone's permanent crutch, enabler and/or personal ATM machine. The people who actually care about you and value preserving a personal relationship will instinctively understand and respect that you do not want to be financially exploited. 9.) Whether making an investment or starting a business venture, find ways to make your money work for you by using it to generate more money. Ideally, you want to end up in a situation where you can afford to live off of only the interest/profits being generated without ever having to spend any of the principal. Diversification is also important when managing investments. Avoid having all of your proverbial eggs in too few baskets. 10.) Do not forget who you are, your values, and what is truly important in life. Money is a necessary and useful tool, but not an end in itself. Cultivating an ever present inner sense of gratitude and humility goes a long way towards the refinement of your spirit and humanity.

I would buy a house and have it fitted for my elderly mother to come live with me as she gets older. My turn to take care of her. She sacrificed alot for her kids.

The only thing I would have to worry about when I win the lottery, is family members. I would dress up as poor as possible to stay low key. I'm a low key person anyway.

get my mom medical support, she lost her left kidney, make sure she is ok and everything, support all my familys.. then chase my dreams..

Seeing Kobe in this ad 😭 R.I.P Mamba ❤️

1) Do nothing for some time 2) Enjoy yourself- reasonably 3) Put the money in perspective 4) What you want to do vs what you should do 5) Open a separate A/C 6) Get financial and professional advice 7) Buffer up between you and friends or family

I learned about financial boundaries. I am ready for this. If I won the lottery, I would pay off my mom's mortgage, and put my dad in a better retirement home.

if i won lottery...i would pay alll taxes and then hide from everybody..so i could think

I honestly don't see my self going back to work after winning the lottery

"keep your Job" hahaha

Did she say don’t quit your job? Lol that’s the first thing I’m doing! Never working again in my life. The whole point is to enjoy the rest of your life without working anymore.

Pay off my bills and pay my mom's house and rebuild.

Nah, if I won at least 5 million I'd quit my job. I'd then buy 2 gas stations and a laundromat and probably just continue living in my current house for the rest of my days.

Don’t quit your job, hold it so someone else who might really need it, can’t get it. Great advice. 😂

Hey Aluxers, what would you do if you won the lotto or got your hands on a large amount of money?

The most important things to do if you win the lottery: 1- The most important part is to remain anonymous if your State allows it. 2-Take the lump sum instead of an annuity 3- The first thing to do with that money is to payoff all your debt. 4- Although I don't trust financial advisors, I suggest you seek financial advice and help to manage your new wealth, make sure you meet with few different advisers before you chose one. Then do whatever the hell you want hahahaha ..........

I’m going to announce on social media that i won - on April1st 😂

there are only 2 bad things in life: 1st) not getting what you want 2nd) getting it

I believe a reasonable course of action would include, but not be limited to; 1.) signing and safely storing the winning ticket in a safe deposit box. 2.) Initially saying nothing to anyone about winning! 3.) Putting together a financial team that includes an attorney, a tax accountant and Investment specialist who can work together and are use to handling large sums of money for clients. 4.) Forming a blind trust ahead of claiming the prize to keep your amenity intact. 5.) Properly invest the majority of your money in several conservative, safe vehicles that offer a good rate of return. 6.) Quietly pay off any and all outstanding debts you owe. 7.) Learn to live and play off the interest, not the corpus! 8.) Never do anything extravagant around your home town. (If you do, the cat will be out of the bag!) If you wish to use your money to party and such do it elsewhere.

CHILLING OUT before making moves with the money is very GOOD advice Alux.

I will win soon. Thank you for the wonderful and useful advice.

Money opens up so many options. I want to go where there isnt many people. I want a home that isnt on top of another one. Id love a new car that i dont have to worry about financing or interest rate. I want to buy groceries for strangers. I want to help so many people.

if i won the lottery i would definitely follow these 7 steps. without a second thought i would play this video over and over again.

Alux video ideas: Success, building self confidence, making more money, being at peace, gaining wisdom, being independent, getting more done, breaking bad habits, overcoming shyness, reaching goals, avoiding sadness, making your mark on the world, rich money habits, overcoming depression, avoiding bad relationships, getting motivated, success on the job, hoarding & getting organized, overcoming fear, changing your life.

When I win the lotto, I'll buy my dream house :)

I WON the Lottery Today and these words of wisdom were right on time !

If I win a lottery I will go into farming

no donation. you already donated in the form of taxes. set yourself up first for long term financial life, seek reputable financial advice, invest in real estate, and never let someone else authorize to pay any bills. upgrade home within reason. upgrade a car or two within reason. go on a trip or two. gift a few people that you truly care about but no more than that because people will try to bleed you dry. set up boundaries because no one wants to go backwards. put things into perspective, money no matter the biggest windfall is endless if you waste it.

when i win the lottery i am going to take care of my family and travel with my love.

My wife and I won $13mil in 1991and have managed to keep almost all of it since. Most of the above advice is too vague and most winners won't follow it at all. All financial advisers and tax people will tell you to come see them after you collect, not before. We changed our phone number to a different unlisted number and that helped, but salesmen (especially car salesmen) will begin to call you night and day to sell you a Porsche or something. We paid off the mortgages (home and rental property) and then went on vacation in another state. Our state didn't allow winnings to be put into trusts, only paid to person. What most people forget is that you will owe Federal taxes on everything you collect and possibly state taxes as well. On $10 million dollars, that will be between $3-3.5 million going right back to the gov't come next April. They will want a check, not payments. Much of it will be withheld when they pay you so you will never see it anyway. If you have kids in school they will be hassled forever, not by other kids, by adults...teachers, coaches, etc.. asking them if "your parents would like to pay for (whatever)". Oh, and here's the biggy….no matter how many times you insist that the tax accountants, bankers, financial advisers, friend and family please keep the news to themselves, THEY WON'T!!!! I'm still dealing with the fallout of a banker that happened to know some friends of mine and spread it around so quick it wasn't funny. I quit my job and don't regret it. We invested in real estate and eventually put together a nice portfolio of income producing properties that throw out about $250K per year. We collected about $6.5 million over 25 yrs (didn't have a lump sum option) and have a net worth of roughly $11 million with the income. Very comfortable, three homes, drive a Mercedes, take long vacations, support some family members, etc... OTOH, we also know a few winners that went to jail for tax fraud, trying to stiff an ex-wife of alimony, etc... Don't be stupid, put up with the hassles and enjoy your good fortune.

I would pull out a lager sum after taxes and split it by the following percentage. 10%- To Church (I strongly believe that you should give 10% of your income to God ) 20%- To Family ( Off the top, I'm letting them know that I'm not a ATM and not to expect anymore money just handed to you. If you need money after this they can work for me. Separate Family and Business. If they don't do a good job, I'll fire them.) 40%- To the Bank ( I would open 2 different account possibly with 2 different banks. 1 of which will house 40% for at least 6 months. Not one dime would be taken out of this account until at least 6 months later when everything has come down. During that time I would seat down with professionals who deals with this kind of money on the daily bases. Look at starting my own business, Investments and Saving Bonds.) 20%- Things I NEED ( Before I start buying/doing things I want; I need to make sure my NEEDS are meant first. Buy a house- nothing to big, furniture and appliances for that house, 2 cars - just in case one breaks down. Homeowners, Auto, Health and Life insurances. And food, clean supply, money for new clothes/shoe and Moraga on the house for the next 5 year in the 2nd bank account.) 10%- Things I WANT ( Now that I gave 10% to church , taken care of my family, future investments, and NEEDS. I can live a little luxurious lifestyle. Travel, Go to 5 star Hotel and Restaurant, Name brand everything, In house Gym, Pool Casinos, Nightclubs, Sporting Events. Hack I'll even buy things that would benefit me later in life like Complete Electric Car, Solar Panels, and Wind Turbines. Hey YOLO ((YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE)) Might as well enjoy it while you still can.)

Dude, I would traveeeel

I agree with your first step; Do nothing for awhile and live your life normally. On top of that assemble a team of advisors that can help you manage your wealth responsibly. You'll need a really good tax lawyer, an accountant and a real good financial planner and all three will need to work together from the get go in order to coordinate their efforts on your behalf. Next, think about your long term objectives, first. After paying the tax bite follow your teams advise and design a trust, which will manage the corpus. In my case, and maybe yours, this means low risk, tax free investments, because if I have allot of money already I am more interested in capital preservation then anything else. So I will choose to take the 3, or 4% of accumulated annual growth, properly diversified, to live off of; rather then anything that promises a high return but at higher risk. Design the trust to where you take the day to day decisions out of your hands. This doesn't mean that you don't watch your team and what they are doing like a hawk. But what it does mean is that you need to have someone who is really good at saying "NO!" to act on your behalf. This will help insulate you from family and friends who have their hands out expecting to coast on their relationship with you. There is also the danger to consider that having so much money could mean to yourself and your family. Among the several things you will need to do is quickly pay off any outstanding debts and obligations you have. This keeps anyone at bay who may want to sue you. And, if you live in a state that requires you to go public with your win find out if your trust can accept the cash to keep your name out of the press. If not, then move! Change your phone number, etc. Now let's go back to your objectives. In my case, that means setting up a living trust for myself and my family because I want all of us to enjoy the wealth, but in a controlled way. It means, for me that I intend to donate 10% of my portion each year to worthy charities that I wish to support. This includes things like my church amongst others as long as they have a tax free status that can be verified. And since I will do this every year, my church and those charities will prosper. If I am lucky enough to still reside in my state I will continue to live my life much as I always have. Yes, it's true I will get another car. Nothing fancy, mind you, but reliable. Yes, I will continue with my songwriting career, releasing a new album now and then and perhaps act again. But in any case, I will cheerfully live under the radar here at home. If I achieve anything in those endeavors then they will stand on their own. But what about doing something special, you might ask? From time to time, I may do things like travel, eat really great food and perhaps drive an exotic rental etc. But I'll do that out of town where I can still maintain my amenity.

When I win the lottery, will follow your advice for sure.

Great financial tips. If I win the lottery someday, I would INVEST BIG, KEEP GRINDING while WORKING THE SMARTER WAY and live off the dividends of my invested CAPITAL.

I don't agree with all of this. I think it is important to have a very clear plan of action for when you win the jackpot. I think it would be great if ALUX could make a series of well researched videos based on different levels of wealth, for example 10 million, 50 million, 100 million, 250 million, five hundred million, a billion. What is right in these situations is massively different. Also the top five banks Billionaires personally consider the strongest. For U.S. viewers what they MUST know before winning the Jackpot to avoid taxes as much as possible.

Thumbs up if you’re watching this after winning. Jk, I’m broke af

I've been thinking about this for a long time. I'm not much of a spender generally and I'm quite careful with money too, so I wouldn't go nuts and buy stupid things like a boat or a million dollar seaside mansion. I would quit work straight away. I would pay off my debts which totals about $7,000. There's a house I want to buy, it's a low set 4 bedroom house that costs about $600,000 (which is reasonable in my country) and from the looks of it, I could move straight in without doing anything to it other than install an inground pool. Then I would give my immediate family $50,000 each to do with what they want (there's only three of them, the other extended family who I never see wouldn't get anything and they wouldn't find out about my win). The rest would just sit in the bank doing nothing for a while. I'm not a huge traveller and apart from maybe buying a new mattress for my bed, and a new mid sized SUV, I wouldn't be throwing the cash around.

I would invest it in real state about 80 % of the fortune

What would I do? I'd stop being homeless. Then, I would save as much as possible.

True. Family and relatives would drain your finances and money within a year. If I win the lottery I would vanish for a couple of years and only come back when I am financially stable.

If i win first i say thanks to God

I saw another video, where someone commented, call all your family members and asked them for $500. This will come in handy, once you bring it back up to them. "Leverage" lol. This is going to help me focus on my new priorities, while they are talking about me amongst each other "honey, she had the nerve to call me and ask me for $500" " what....girl she call me too, I told her I aint have it" hahaha.. .." you know she called so and so too" Little do they know, the jokes on them.

I wouldn't tell anybody if I won. I would keep it as a hidden superpower and continue my regular life. then when someone fucks with you, there is no limit to the revenge you can dish out.

Great time to see this, I just won a jackpot recently 👊

Unpopular opinion: I'm content in my life enough to know that gaining a large sum of money would probably not change much. I know that what I find joy in now is probably what I'll find joy in in the future, and while a FEW may require money it wouldn't be anything substantial enough that could be considered luxurious. That being said, my game plan for after winning the lottery or gaining a huge sum of money goes as follows: I tell NO ONE but my family and my closest friend/sister, and I wouldn't even tell my dad. Take some of it and buy my mom a house. She and her boyfriend are intending to move in together and out of our current house, and theres a house my dad use to live in that has a HUGE garden (she likes growing plants) as well as being decently sized. Put the rest in a bank account so that it can appriciate in value, then use the extra money as a source of income. I'm not the most knowledgable on buisness and I only took buisness for my juinor cert (Ireland schooling is weird) but suffice it to say that money in a certian type of account gains more money via a spesific percentage. The larger the savings the more that money can generate. So I'd use that money innitally for college/university (only 18) to pay for books, the course and to support myself so I can spend more time to study and not break down (autism+adhd=an increase chance of getting overwhelmed). Then once I do get a job I can still use that secondary income to further support myself as I would start at the bottom rung of the work force, and therefore my beginning pay would be tricky. Then I'd just navigate through life like I normally would, only I'd have extra support as well as a pretty cool safety net!

win lotto just keep quiet

Go on vacation, invest, help family and friends out and yea just live

I’m watching these lottery videos in my attempt to be smart about how I invest, finance, and budget my “guaranteed lottery” in a sense of a large nearly 1 million dollar lawsuit settlement Thank you so much

I would go to Donald Trump for advice 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

First invest money in gold and silver

I m going to be a trillionaire

I just won 67 million and watched this video for some advice, it really helped thanks !!

1. tell no one. 2. if you have debt, save one month's salary and pay it all off, your credit history is important. 3. Continue to work, important to have the reference if you plan to buy a house or an apartment. 4. Don't flaunt, your friends will become envious of you. 5. Invest in your health, finances, and money. 6. Travel some to enjoy places and cultures. 7. Remain happy.

Possible to do Top 10 travel destinations/packages for millionaires? xx

Love how everyone seems to have "daddy issues". Everyone's talking about helping their moms 😂

The most important one is to make sure you have a separate account, from your husband, wife, and relatives and make sure they can't find any important papers. Also avoid handling the money online unless you are a computer expert.

When I win the Lottery, I’ll be setting up my own creative company and expanding my KZfaq Channels 😄✨🌱

im a father or 2 i will invest in my childrens education. i will buy my family a house dats dey will b proud of..give to does in need but in moderation..get health inssurrance..and live each day wid a smile😁

Thank you for these tips. I am confident they will add to my life!!

The first thing I would do, like you advised is to keep it to myself and say a word to no one. The second thing I would do is to talk with my financial advisor. Pay off any debits, car loan, credit cards, home loan etc...Third, is to put a great portion of it into a separate account such as a credit union account this way I'm not spending it for daily living expenses etc.....The other is to Honor my Lord and Savior with a tithing for he is the GIVER of ALL good things....AMEN!

My first 3 are 1 security move 2 and 3 are 6 and 7 on the list

I like how this channel is so positive

I actually would follow your advice to the letter. I learn so much from videos...but it will avail nothing if I don't apply.

I would pay off all my debt and then start my own podcast

If you win the lottery...or get a large inheritance: (after the money gets within your reach) 1) Pay off all debts you have. Credit Card, Student Loans, House and Car - pay off everything you can do. If you can pay off everything with comfort, do so, if not make sure the Student Loans are knocked off and figure out how to get rid of the rest (i.e. Bankruptcy may now be an option). 2) (If paying off all debts leaves you with plenty of money still) Sit on the money. Even if you must draw from the money for basic living expenses (I know someone who found themself living above their basic earnings), just sit and marinate on the idea that you no longer have to balance yourself between what you want/need and what you have money wise. This also means don't change how you act around financial decisions. Also: Don't quit your job yet. 3) Relax. FOR ONCE!!! 4) Watch carefully. I know that contradicts #3, but you should be able to spot who acts differently. Sometimes, under certain conditions (inheritance), you'll get the signs well BEFORE the money comes in, otherwise you sitting on your newfound wealth should bring out people's actions. 5) Give gifts carefully. You should know your friends well enough to know who needs stuff (and what their needs are), who would appreciate something nice as a gift and who'd just abuse your niceness. Calibrate your gifts accordingly. 6) No New Friends, at least not immediately. You have to recalibrate how you judge people, as you'll now be in a different enough financial category to change how people react to you. 7) Remember the good and the bad. You should be similar enough to what you were before the windfall so that whatever changes are happening are more revelations on the other people's part. Act accordingly.

Take the annuity option.

If I won lottery I wouldn't tell anyone. Not anyone I won. I would slowly not communicate ..or just say I'm going to move to Florida Weather there is nice and sunny etc than move to Paris .... Most of my relatives are wealthy so I wouldn't have to deal with any moocher Still I'd do it that way .. I'm the poor one and never asked ever for anything to anyone ever ! Just for record That's how I'd do it with Gods Blessings mercy Grace

1) Remain anonymous if your state rules permit it 2) Assemble a team of legal and financial advisers 3) Pay off all your debts 4) Avoid sudden lifestyle changes 5) Plan charitable gifts

One suggestion I heard many years ago for all the “friends” and “relatives” that suddenly appear looking for a small piece is to tell them that you personally don’t touch the money. That you will inform your lawyer to write them a cheque and they can pick it up from him. When they get there he’ll have the cash ready as well as the “Loan” papers for them to sign. Never give money to these people. If you lend it to them with the expectation of repayment, you never hear from them again. It’ll cost you some cash up front but a lot fewer headaches and returning moochers down the line.

How about just win the 10k a week for life lottery.

Already have list and things I ll do when I win the lottery very soon.

I've been fortunate enough with my money and choices that I'm living the life I want right now. I already have the lifestyle, attitude and budget locked down. The only thing the lottery would change for me is my monthly percentage to live on. Well, that and I would definitely upscale the vacations! lol I would love to help other people out realizing their dreams. Pay it forward. Balance the scales.

Thanks for the advice! I’m gonna need it.

I would know what to do, family members that always put me down, I won't look at them ever. They have done enough damage in my life and they are still doing it to this day cause I haven't got anything

I’ll get a lazy river around my house, like a moat and a drawbridge. 🌱

I've always said the first million (or under) is going into an interest account, scoop the interest into a current account monthly (Once the million is reached if less than £1m win) and use that as the play money.

1. Go to a lawyer and have financial advices 2. Pleased my relatives 3. Travel 4. Donate 5 Create a business

I'll invest in coca cola and Berkshire drip programs

open a blind trust...

i just one $12M and i bought a house and now im chillin

I wish people that won had anonymity. But they don't. The Lottery company makes you do press. Then everyone sees the oversized winning ticket or check. Folks come crawling out of the woodwork and won't leave you be.

i dnt fucking care i will just live my life like arbs

When I win the lottery I'm changing my phone number so my losers of a family can't call me. Then I would call someone who deals with investing money. Take a great vacation to figure out my best move.

It's a wonderful great Advice Thank You So much .. love it ♥️😘

1. Not telling anyone. 2. Walking away from my old job. 3. Moving to another city or country. 4. Paying for my parents medical bills (giving them the life they deserve). 5. Paying for our debts. 6. Investing money into different businesses. 7. Traveling the World in reasonable way. 8. Opening my own business. 9. Charity of kids. 10. My future kids educational funds. 11. Getting the home of my dreams. 12. Upgrading my own education. Yupe, thats my take on this!

I would follow alux instructions.

Actually you ask good questions... I would invest in alternative energy and open a year round areoponic organic warehouse in food locked towns

One thing to do, should people learn about your windfall (which will likely happen sooner or later); anyone who asks for money of any kind is told “You’ll have to speak to my Lawyer about that. He/she’s handling all my financial decisions”.

Not if, but when I win the lottery, I will do exactly what you said. Thanks for your help.
