I won the lottery- what should I buy?

I'd buy coffee for the office so that if someone else wins big they will think of you and pay you back.

My job is cool, the supervisors, not so cool, so I'd definitely leave.
I'd fix up my house and buy a second vehicle. Pay off my brothers mortgage in Florida. After that, I don't know what I'd do.

Someone has mentioned staying anonymous. I always think that winners shouldn't have the option of staying anonymous. If you go on TV and win millions, everyone knows who you are. So what's the difference?

I'd sooner win $25m with publicity than win nothing to keep my anonymity.

Because lottery winners have gotten murdered? And nobody wins $10million on a game show. They top out at $2 million. That’s very different.

If you're worried about being murdered after winning the lottery, then don't buy a ticket.

I’d love to pay off my friends’ mortgages, hire housecleaning weekly and personal organizers. I’d save/invest/donate most of it.

I guess I'm a bad friend. I would never think of paying off my friends' mortgages. I'd help my family, though. Perhaps I'd take some friends on vacation. But pay off their mortgages? Nah!
