After Uncle Sam takes 50% or so in taxes, here's what I'd do (in no particular order):
1) Pay off all my debts.
2) Move to a nicer apartment.
3) Move my parents to a nicer house.
4) Buy a new car. It doesn't have to be a luxury car. Any brand new car in the $15,000- $20,000 range should suffice (That's how humble I am).
5) Spend a couple of months travelling around the world.
6) Get a few cosmetic surgeries and dental work.
7) Help family members economically.
8) Give $0 to charity. Why? This is something I want you all to learn: When you give money out to charity you do it and you shut the **** up about it. You don't brag about it on national TV or on an internet message board. You don't brag about it at all. Presumably, you are donating money because you want to help those in need, not to have others think 'high' of you. In fact, I would think less of someone who did that. Those actions have no moral worth. From this little piece of advice I have given you, you can deduce that if I ever give money out to charity, you would never know about it. I'd much rather have you think I am a stingy skunk (like it really matters).
What would you do if you won the lottery?
