I don't think it would change drastically for me if I won.

I'd be more wary in who my real friends are. I'd remove my Facebook account and probably make a different Facebook account with a different name and add only people I want to be friends with.

Definitely change my phone number. And just contact the people I want to keep a hold of.

I'd a decent size house with a good size lot.

Try to be as anonymous as I can be, if that's possible.

Help pay off loved ones and close friends bills or give them a decent amount of money.

That's about it, my lifestyle wouldn't change much. Just keep a low profile and don't spend on showy things to get people attention.

Financial freedom is the key, that's the main reason for me to win the lottery. Also gives me the opportunity to retire.

So about ~$28 million after the parasites and leeches are done with you.

I'd definitely keep it on the down-low. I wouldn't tell anyone. I would buy a relatively huge house with some decent property and live off the rest. Probably do a lot of traveling. I'd stay in nice hotels, but ones that are still affordable. I wouldn't blow money on suites or ultra high end luxury hotels.

I'd also hire a personal trainer and personal chef and get into peak physical shape.

Play your cards right and it could easily last you the rest of your life.

Wouldn't tell anyone except my wife and parents. I'd start a construction house flipping company and give my buddy the reigns. I'd explain how I didn't want gratitude but that he should hire our buddies if possible. He deserves it. He's the one person that would be absolutely cool with me about it.

Create a trust fund and change your name to Max Power
 
I used to work with a guy and we had this convo a few times.
He would say 'I would quit and just get some simple job mowing lawns or some shit.'

I said 'what the fuck for?'

He said 'Gotta do something'.

When I told him I would leave and do whatever he said 'yeah but what would your job be?'

I said 'Why the fuck would I want a job?'

There was this massive disconnect between us where he felt he would have to still have a job (he might have articulated that he found mowing lawns satisfying) and I was more about enjoying life, helping people etc.

It was a weird conversation we had a few times.
 
I'd probably live similarly, just me and my wife not working anymore, which is still a big lifestyle change imo
 
80 mil lotto = 45 mil lump sum = 32 mil after fed tax = 27 after state tax. So it's really 27 million.

.and yes it would greatly change my life
 
I would immediately pay my house off and then use the rest to put another down payment on another house and rent my old one out.
 
Probably would be about 35 mil after taxes. It would change my life drastically. I would quit my job day 1. I would upgrade my house to live on the water, not insane, but really nice and near where I currently live (1.5m). A boat (80k), a vacation house on a lake near a ski mountain (800k). I have about 6 family members that would get 500k each. I have about 8 friends that would get 250k each. Put 2 million each in a trust for each of my 2 kids. Leaves me with 22-23m to live off of. I think I would start a no kill animal shelter to keep me busy.

In Quebec, lottery is managed by the state.
So, if you win, it's tax free.
