If you won a lot of money, how would you manage your finances?

I'd like to share my thoughts on "Jackpot Summer" by Elizabeth Friedland, a book I just finished reading yesterday. It is about 3 siblings who buy a lottery ticket despite struggling financially. They win, but have trouble managing their newfound wealth. Have you ever bought a lottery ticket? If you won a lot of money, how would you manage your finances?

That's totally understandable. Even if you've never won, its still fun to imagine how you'd manage a big windfall. What do you think would be the first thing you'd do if you won the lottery?

would hire a lawyer to aid me in making the right decision on how to use my funds before accepting them.

If I am to have lots of money, I would pay debts, make college funds for my kids, buy some stocks. I would help my sister and niece. And many more.

I would make sure I had money for all I needed and wanted to do and then perhaps also donated some,
