Best answer
Here is your chance to demonstrate your business acumen – because winning a lottery is nothing else than getting cash, which opens up lots of business opportunities. So you could:
- Start your own business – think about which industries you are interested in, choose a business you would like to start and why;
- Become an investor – again think about which industries, maybe even target companies;
- Invest into the stock market – here also explain why (now the stock market is on the deep, so it’s cheap to buy) and exactly what would you buy and why
Hope this helps!
Best,
Daniel

I would write a priority list of things to do; then I would allocate a budget among them, following the priority, trying to do the most of them. If someone remains excluded, I would ask myself how much it was important to me: if I realize it is not, I'm happy with my draft, if yes, I would try to find a compromise with the other ones.

ich würde das Geld drei teilen. Zuerst sollte man Glück teilen, d.h. die erste Hälfte würde ich nach und nach für Charity ausgeben. Mit einem persönlichen Austausch aber denn das ist das wertvollste. Den zweiten Teil würde ich als reserve investieren. Den dritten Teil würde ich ausgeben und zwar relativ schnell, denn man lebt nur einmal und die Zukunft ist nicht sicher.

In the event of winning the lottery I would start by designing a plan that could allow me to identify the best ways to use the prize and how its benefit could be maximized.
Above all, I would like to start identifying if there is anything due to pay back for taxes and any other service fees and then continue in identifying what would be the critical areas on my finance life that need quick and short attention and that would benefit greater from a cash inflow, next I would also look on how I could invest part of it in order to reap some benefits and finally because I personally believe in helping others I would identify a cause that could benefit greater for donation.
