Detailed or one liner responses welcome.I’d first take refuge in a secret holiday location for 2 weeks to plan the best way to use it.

I’d definitely opt for anonymity.
Can’t understand people who go public after a big win.

What benefits do you see in doing that?I was just being contrary. - I would, in reality, tell very few people.

Joined 22 Apr '05 Moves 655895 I would buy flats and rent them out to families at modest prices (as low as possible without losing the tax privilege on the repairs.)
Joined 10 Jan '08 Moves 16951 I'd stick about half in a fixed term savings account, and continue to do so year after year as long as interest rates remain decent.
With the rest I'd give some to family, maybe a tenner each, travel and start some kind of small charity or business, or both.

Work for me would be a weird one. Work gives me so much, so I’d have to find something else to focus on. But yeah, I wouldn’t be dealing with all that on a weekly basis!
Joined 14 Jan '19 Moves 4043 I would build a large no-kill dog shelter, and then entice you and FMF with part of the winnings to be permanent live-in caretakers. You two can flip for it, to see which of you two will be top dog caretaker.

Would also keep you busy managing it.
