How does each sign celebrate winning the lottery and what would they do initially with all that cash?
I wouldn't say anything to anyone except my parents and some close friends, and I would disappear for a few months. I wouldn't want to have to deal with the leeches, so I'd let it blow over a little.
I would definitely give to my family and to charity and then perhaps go on a boat to sail around the world. I would want everyone to share in my good fortune and not be stingy!
I wouldn't tell a soul...I'm not sure if I would even tell my mother or sister because I don't think they'd keep it a secret. I would put it in the bank and continue life like normal. If anyone in my family needed anything I would take care of it, but they would think the money came from my savings and not the lottery.
I don't think I could deal with everyone leeching off of me.
btw, I wouldn't even buy myself anything. That wouldn't be fair to those around me so I'd deprive myself aswell as everyone else lol.
I would budget in true Virgo style, to make sure i'd be set for yrs to come, but I would make new major purchases, home, car, furniture & all that, I wouldn't lay that low about it, and I would spend on a few ppl, but wouldn't try to splurge and buy friends, fuck that. New clothes and all the goodies for me. I would use some money to start a domestic violence shelter here where I live, guess it depends on how much money I won, i'm thinkin big like the powerball or something.
I'd consult a tax attorney so that I could claim the money with the least amount of tax liability. I'd also update my will and allot a certain amount in trusts for my nephew and niece and kids if I have any by then.
I would give close friends and family $12,000.00 each because that is the most you can give as a gift to someone without the recipient being taxed on it.
I'd save most of it, but I would splurge on one luxury car, a nice but not ostentatious house, and a vacation.
sort my family and close friends out first. get my daughter everything she coulda ever dream't of. then buy lots of clothes a new car and house and fuck off somewhere foreign for a month or two then come home too the madness and party lol

You should save for her college, but don't give her everything or else she won't know how to survive on her own. It's your money, and you shouldn't teach her that everything will fall into her lap. She won't learn hard work if you give her everything. Just my opinion.

I'd give half to charity, pay off school, and then probably once I graduated, I'd just travel. :) I'll save some, but probably not a lot, just enough to live off of for a while. I'd still get a job and work or I'd work on a novel or something.
I would hire a lawyer and invest invest invest...but only after paying off anything my dad owes money on and buying him a hummer, house, boat, and helicopter...lol and my dog a thousand raw-hide bones!
