According to the statistics, 90% of lottery winners put money in a bank, 60% pay off their debts and about 73% share their money with family and friends. Surprisingly, about 50% of winners donate the money to charity and only about 15% alter their lifestyle completely (retire, quit their jobs, open their own business or master higher education). Of course all of the above changes do not happen right after winning the Superenalotto jackpot, on the contrary, when you finally make your biggest dream come true, you are not necessarily think about the consequences of such action.

So, What Should you do if you Win the Jackpot?

First of all, get yourself a good lawyer. In the short term he can help you establish a trust fund, create a will and make sure that your winnings will not disappear over night. In the long term a lawyer can help you to avoid possible mistakes when it comes to large purchases or starting a business. Most likely you will be contacted by charitable organizations, financial advisers and insurance agents that would like to offer you the most profitable options to spend your money, so you will probably need a good legal advise.

Second of all, get yourself a confidante or a trustworthy individual which can be a family member or a friend who will warn you about the mistakes before they are actually happen. Big money brings big responsibly, especially if you are put in the spotlight. Let someone who is on your side to help you brainstorming ideas for investment or setting short term and long term goals.

Finally, remember that money doesn’t last forever. Reconsider quitting your job, take a vacation to figure out what to do next, because if you will not work for twenty years, it will be very difficult if not impossible to join the workforce in the time of need since your skills will carry no relevancy to the market demands. Unless you open a very successful business or make good financial investments, chances are that you will run out of money at some point, so take care of your future today.
