1. Pay off all your debts.
2. Pre-pay as many expenses as you can. 3. Buy some land in the countryside. 4. Open a brokerage account and invest in a basket of blue-chip, dividend-paying stocks. 5. Take a trip around the world with your significant other. |

I'd spend the million on more land and keep living like I do now. 10 million I have no idea, I forget who posted the "so you just won the lottery" thread here but it sounded like excellent advice.
I suppose I'd start by paying off any debts, which in my case isn't much, I have a 10k truck loan and 2 low limit credit cards. |

Also looking at some waterfront, I like to fish as well as hunt and shoot.

Diversify my investment. 9mm, 5.56, 762, 300blk, etc
But no in reality? 1M is too little in the scheme of things. I'd put money aside for full tuition for kids including first car. The remaining I'd split up into several bank accounts that are protected with respectable returns. |

They'll only give you half as a cash value payout "A bird in the hand ...." Those payoffs for 25 or 30 years are essentially a government promise. And as this country turns more and more to the collectivist dark side, it is easy to envision a tax that targets such "winnings". |

Enough that an anticipated 5% growth will pay for the taxes and maintenance on the land I have a close friend going thru a medical end of life process. He has come to realize that his sizable collection of guns are not going to bring him anywhere near the return on investment he thought they would. That being said, I would only buy the guns I felt I really needed to have for self protection. Not as investments. But make no mistake, I would be very well protected. Limit the gold to no more than 10% of your estate. Gold does not generate wealth. It is a hedge against inflation. Unless they start mining more. Look at the performance of gold over the last 18 months. unpredictable. |

A million is not that much money - no real reason to go off hiding. My hometown has a population of under 1000 - but thanks to the eagleford boom, we probably will have several hundred people winning that 1mill lotto. At the end of the day - about the biggest thing I am seeing is fences are getting fixed and houses are being re-leveled. Couple new homes here and there - but there are not enough contractors to build them any faster. New barns are showing up - probably to hide fishing boats or RV's (both of which were quite common before - most people were too cheep for any other type of vacations).
My million - so far have paid off RV, credit cards, student loans, house, and got a jon boat. Will keep a few hundred k in the market. If I find the free time, will get a bobcat to do some fence and brush work. So far I have not seen my million though - maybe Q1 2015 (so what I have gotten so far has been paying off all debt - and buying a few guns that have been on the list for ages). |

Quoted:
Let's say you get an even million dollars. Obviously, you have to initally deposit the check at the bank and they are NOT going to give you cash. So where do you move the money so it can't be stolen by the government like happened in Cyprus? Short of putting all your money into Bitcoins and then placing them in a brain wallet, there is literally no such thing as "can't be stolen". A government that can raid your bank account can also come knock down your door and take your gold or seize your land. You're objective is wrong. The key then is not to avoid all risk, but to diversify so that getting hit in any one area doesn't sink you. Cash, Stocks, Bonds, Gold, Land...do all of it if you are that worried about loss. You can also diversify within a single asset class. There is nothing that says you can't keep stocks and bonds with several different institutions. |

Might be time to buy yourself some property on the edge on town to shoot. 20 years later when the town expands, sell for a profit. |
