What would you do next after a Big Lottery Win?

What would you do if you won a big lottery prize?  Pay off your bills perhaps? Quit your job? Plan a holiday?  All are possible once that big win comes along. Here’s what some Australian lottery winners said they’d be doing in the future.

Discovering your lottery win is going to be one of the most memorable moments of your life. A $900,000 Saturday Lotto winner said they would aim to “remember every nanosecond of this day.”  That will be easy for a Set for Life winner who said they’d “frame the winning ticket on the wall.”

It’s an emotional moment for sure and a $5m Oz Lotto winner said they just wanted to cry.

Generous winner

We tell you of many winners who decide to use their luck to help others. After winning $1.8m, one player said they’d “give half” to their children “so they can pay off their mortgages.”

How would you celebrate your big lottery win? Among the answers received were a Thai takeaway, while another was planning “a big party.”  A $6.8m Lucky Lotteries winner planned to “go dancing in the street.”

New carpets please

Property usually comes to mind for lottery winners. That’s either buying a new home or for a $508,000 Saturday TattsLotto winner: “Replace my carpets.” Air conditioning in every room was the dream of another successful player.

Winning a huge lottery prize can lead to an early retirement. However, not every winner immediately quits their job. One $1m winner said “I can’t slack off” and went back to work after receiving their cheque. Not so another winner who said they’d “be running late today.”

Another $1m winner joked that they might “faint in a minute.” A $60m Australian Powerball jackpot winner even thought they might “have a heart attack.” One believed an urgent trip to the bathroom might be needed.

You need to let a big win sink in first and decide how to use your windall. A sensible Hobart winner replied they would: “Really think about it.” What would you do?
