Would you contact people, like a lawyer or investor, before you went public with your winning ticket (because everyone would be crawling out of the woodwork wanting something from you)? Would you leave town to avoid the media or would you smile big and play it up to the cameras? I'm curious as to what other people think would be the smartest way to handle this type of situation.

Hire an investment firm, a lawyer, and a security guard. Then, head to the bank and deposit the money. Then, write check for all of my family members for a flat amount each and tell them that's all they get. Then, start thinking of ways to use my money. Avoid the media at all costs. You do not have to announce your winning to the media if you do not want to, despite what they may tell you.

First, I'd take it and put 750,000 in a regular account, and then invest the rest in CDs, IBons, and that sort of thing. Then I'd do the following:
*take some of the 750,000 and use it to open up a humongous animal rescue for cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, and horses.
*go on a shopping spree (can you say every mall in NJ?!?!?)
* build myself a high quality barn, hire workers and a manager
* get a horse for eventing, hunter/jumper classes, trail (just a good natured lazy-day horse), endurance, western, games, and a cute little pony
* get a bunch of new horse stuff- saddles, bridles, one of the Parelli Courses (they're not cheap atall)- can't you tell I'm a horse lover?!?!?
* Get myself a huge rabbit shed, lots of big cages, and a herd of lionhead rabbits- awww!
* get a Border Collie (I love other animals, too!)
* Put some aside for a car and tuition to Princton

Well if i won at least 4 million i'd give my parents a million. I'd put money away for my 2 kids. And give my sisters and brothers a chunk. And then i'd fix myself up and move away to Alberta, Banff!
Put my kids in home school. And buy a house and car and u get the picture..Well thats what i would do..i wish that wish could come true..

The lawyer idea sounds good because then you get a lot relatives you never even heard of trying to fet something from you and such. Then I would definitely get out of town and travel but before that give a house to my mom.
