Goodbye student loans! If there's money left over I'd have to decide between something hot to wear for the wife (and maybe for others) or replacing my terrible and broken computer monitors. But let's be real the only thing left over will be debt.

MODERATORS
A couple of fully rebookable vacations (because no way am I getting family or friends to agree to a date and location in a day).
High quality all-season camping gear and at least three new pairs of shoes (hiking, working out, everyday) and a quality bed for myself.
Cleaning service gift cards for any leftover amount.
No, I changed my mind: Any leftover amount would go to charity. I can clean my own damn house (or live in filth), and my current bed is good enough.
~~Deposit for a house~~ no I'd never get the paperwork together in time
~~Car~~ maybe, but I havent got a full license yet
Bad boy gaming PC, Katwalk, as many peripherals as I can find and a pallet or two of wholesale tinned food.
A winning lotto ticket costs the same as a losing lotto ticket, which is about 2 USD. So, I'll buy a winning lotto ticket for every lotto I can remotely cash in via phone call. The rest can go into hiring a lawyer to provide me legal protection from lawsuits caused by my sudden inexplicable luck.
Pay off debt, no question.
I’d buy stock, bonds, or perhaps a lifetime supply of an air freshener. We’ll see.
- indoor grow setups/storage/fertilizer with the best lights. for both what you're probably thinking, and for my houseplants.
- enough wood/other materials for a shit ton of trellising and soil components for my garden next year.
- If there's anything left over, I'd donate it.
a second car perchance.. either that or clear out my steam wishlist
A small box garage in the middle of the city. Then rent it out for a nice extra income.
Probably start a business and use thr as the deposit for a space in the city.
Pay down the house or. If that doesn't count. Buy an EV (or maybe the electrical work at my house to support one)
Finance prople, Is it wrong to not spend and keep it at my bank, just in case I suddenly decide to move to France, or I get sick or finally have the guts to start my dream business, or I die so my family can have it?
I’ll buy a new car. I already have most of the money. $20k gets me the rest of the way there.
Can you overspend and make up the difference with your own money? Does it have to be just one thing? I need some rules man.
Buy hardwood floor. A trip to Home Depot could take care of it all.
A $20,000 bond.
Definitely debt.
New computer and I'd get my car overhauled at a specialist and there goes like, 15k. Or more if my car has issues I don't know about
Probably a car
gold
Stocks.
My car is paid off and I still have maybe enough for dinner with the fam.
Pokemon cards and baseball gear for my son
