I wouldn’t tell anyone about it not even my parents. If a life situation comes up and my loved ones need money for a legit reason then I will sign the check on condition of no questions asked. otherwise its all mine (well what’s left of it after the feds and state take their cut). I don’t care how much you trust your family, friends, spouse, once they get a whiff of that money their latent self-interest and greed will kick in. Some of these people in the comments live in lah lah land, a life changing amount of money/assets will turn your best friends and closest family into self interested animals happy to rob/use you. No thanks, I’d rather not risk it.

Give?

Shit, they’re working for that dolla bill! My own damn mama gonna be rubbing my feet!

Legit though, I wouldn’t just dump cash on them. My family are idiots about money. I’d pay off their debt, make sure their houses were in good repair, and then kick the fuck back.

I’d give away about half and keep half.

Not “giving”, but setting up an LLC to “hire” them and provide health insurance.

Do you think my (extended) family members will even know? Only the person doing my taxes would even have a clue. I’d play it cool and slowly disappear with my close family.

Zero.

First off, I’m creating an LLC to claim the winnings so that my name remains out of the papers.

Second, I’m not telling them. My family are the kind of idiots who would insist their god made sure I won, so that I can give it half of it to their church, and the other half to them.

Half. I don’t that much, but comfortably retiring would be nice.

I would stash away a good amount for me and my immediate family and give the rest away to family and select charities.

I’d give my folks a couple million, extended family a few million total. money needs to be moved around and my family absolutely excels at spending lol.

1/4 is a good number. It’s still a huge sum of money
