Answer 1

Wow, your on a "Roll" there!!! Did you already speak to the tax man, or did you opt to pay it at the end of the year? Because in Laughlin, you have to fill-out forms,,, when you win BiG!! Whether or not to pay now, or later, I believe thats how it went!! And my family always paid it now, at the time when they won it, so they didn't have the burden later, when they did their regular taxes, you know...... Which I personally wouldn't enjoy spending it , if I knew later I'd have to pay taxes on it!! Who knows, nowadays they may just take it, right off the top!!! Which I think is a better idea anyway, that way, your not burdened with the debt later, or your not teased with the option you know...... Well Congratulations to you!!! Have fun shopping!! Smile!!! Oh, I'd quit while I was ahead if I were you!! I know its fun, to go back in and figure you can afford to go back in and play just a little bit more, but that's the fastest way people lose their "Winnings" by that little voice saying just one more!!! We all know it wont be just one more, it'll be until all your money's GONE!!!! Walk away and dont go back, until next year or never!!! You know, your ahead of the game, here, stay that way!!! Smile!!!!

Don't worry what anyone else would do. You need to worry about what you have to do. In order for the casino to pay out they have your S.S. number and between the Feds and the locals, depending on what state you live in, your about $40,000 in the hole to them. Think about it. You win a State or Interstate lottery of one million, say as an example, at least $300,000 will go for taxes so Congress can give themselves their yearly $5000 raise. Do good with your winning and contribute to an organization that pushes term limits. Two in the House and One in the Senate, at the end of their term, here's a check for 50 grand, thank you for your service, go home and sin no more. No big retirement. You go on S.S. just like every other poor schmuck that works for a living. How much did you walk with, or did you walk with any.

Well first find a financial advisor to help you make that money make you more money. Don't quit your job, make sure you pay your taxes (or you will loose it), and just keep living your life.

IN a few months after you have calmed down pay off some of your debt, credit cards, maybe a low car note, etc. Then keep on going as if it never happened. Money going to your head will make you broke.

Also don't go out buying things for everyone you know. It is your money and if you were not handing it out before don't start now.

Answer 4

It depends on your age. If you are young you should pay off your home or buy a home. Houses usually do not depreciate. Put it in a roth IRA. Don't blow it! It is a lot of money but you will go through it very quickly. Also, don't be telling evryone as you will have alot of "friends" that will want you to spend it on them. Hope this helps.st

Answer 5

If I were you, I would like to buy a house in Greece of course, and go there every summer. Because I live in Greece, I would like to buy a house in Korintho!!!
You are very lucky, but don't play this money again because you will maybe lose it.
