Pay off my student loans, pay off my house, and start college funds for my son, nephew, and Godson. Then I’d pay off any debt my family has, set up a fund for charitable giving, and then invest some and travel a bit. I’d also start putting the maximum allowed amount into my retirement fund each year.

I’d definitely make sure my wife doesn’t have to work anymore.

Honestly, I’m not sure beyond that. My wife and I agreed that if we ever were to strike it rich we wouldn’t let our son know. She grew up in an affluent area and saw the sort of lives those types of kids tend to lead. We’d probably pay off our house and maybe purchase a new house with a bit more room. Possibly, we’d keep the first house around as a rental property for some passive income… Other than that, we’d probably save a significant portion of it as a rainy-day / emergency fund…
 
I was actually wondering what the Canadian lottery was like with taxesand such this morning

Now I know I guess wow that’s funny

I tend to like scratch offs despite them never really winning
Just fun to play
 
First I would keep very quiet, and not tell anyone. Next I would buy a no-contract cell phone. Then I would call Jason Kurland.

But a $1 million dollar jack pot wouldn’t leave a lifetime of money after paying of mortgage, debt, etc.

I think you could live off $1 million for life if you already have a place to live.

If not, a decent house these days would take a big chunk out of that million.

Give it to the Order… I wouldn’t really have a choice.

Maybe I would ask the Father General to put some solar panels in our missions so we would have some reliable electricity.

This would vary drastically by region. Fortunately, at this point of my life, moving is cheap, almost free.
 
It would be more practical to fix up one’s current residence rather than get a new place and to continue with your normal routine.

Moving would make it possible to reduce contact with those who might have designs to relieve you of your money.
 
Rest home for elderly cats. Love that! Bearself, you’re our new favorite saint.
 
My parish church would get a good bit of it. St. Jude’s Hospital and a few religious orders would too. My grandchildren would get trust funds.
 
Pay off student loan debt, go into the Priesthood, give whatever’s left to my parents
