Topic: Where Do You Want To Go To If You Win $2 million On Lottery - page 4. (Read 638 times)

If I am to be that lucky enough to win such a huge money, I will create my own city where everything I need to live a more fulfilled and happy life will be there. I won't think of ever leaving my country for another country. I will only be traveling for business ideas and the development of my city to an ultra-modern city where people would like to live and stay without thinking of traveling.

Staying in my country is safer for me. I wouldn't really be going to another country when I know for sure there is more danger for me. I have traveled to a few countries before, I found some countries easy to live around but there is just no assurance that I could last after a few weeks, I will always miss home.

Bad experiences taught me some lessons. There are countries where my ethnicity could blend and I guess that's a better choice. Because when the people know you are not from their country by your looks alone, you are an easy target for swindlers and city scammers.

Really that expensive and you would really be just that easily be spending that $2M and might be having those kind of regrets that you have just spend up that much and
its true that cost of living is really that high and 2M isnt really just that too big for you to be able to be that confident that you could live out your life into those other places
with those amounts.Unless if you have been able to win up $10-50 then i might considering on moving out but if we do speak about 2M then it wont really be that
sufficient for you to migrate it out specially if you do came from on a 3rd world country. It cant really be just that something that you could be able to deal with.

Moving out of the country will be that expensive. I'll just use that money to invest more with many assets and businesses.
I'd grow that money by doing that and looking for more passive incomes and investments for my money to grow on its own.
Inflation rate is high, that sound of a million might be good but you don't know that when you spend that on many things, it won't be that much.

I personally have no intention of moving to another country after winning the $2 million lottery because I am comfortable living in the country where I currently live, the decision to move to another country is not a wise decision because the cost of living in the world's top countries is more expensive unless you want to build a business there. country, don't waste $2 million just for fun but use the funds as business capital and investment for the long term. I would rather travel to a top country than be a citizen of another country, some of the funds are used to visit all the top countries in the world, it doesn't matter if I have to stay a week or a month in another country but I have no intention of moving to another country.

Moving to another country after winning big in lottery is good but you need to also consider if the country cost of living is expensive, and if there are good jobs there,because you should not expect to live on the $2m to take care of you for the rest of your life in that country without working.

I will stay in my country and invest in various businesses and assets to help me multiply the money. It will be very easy for me to achieve this, because life is not expensive down here.

it is understandable that a lot answered to stay in their country as they are in their comfort zone. besides, your immediate family is there and hard to relocate your entire family in another country.
maybe, move to another town which is more appealing for retirement. but of course, visiting another country may be in the bucket list of my family.
there are also advantages in staying in your own country -
> you can invest in a small business as you are more familiar with the environment
> buy real-estate to develop into something for passive income like apartment or townhouses
> move to another town with lower cost of living


this is the common response of a lot of users here. definitely, investing into something is one of the top priorities here because you need to replenish the funds that you are using. because if the money is only going outside and there is no incoming, the likelihood that it will be depleted is fast.

I would easily leave the country (because my shithole is at war and this could affect me directly) if I won that amount. But I must note that 2 million is not the “final” amount that covers all your life issues if we are talking about civilized countries. For example, the article to which you refer discusses Oslo and London - I think that 2 million will not be enough there for a long time, and if you are a family man, then this will only be enough to not work for some time, but then you will have to do it anyway. I’m not even sure that this will be enough to purchase at least some real estate and obtain a residence permit.

I'll stay in my country but maybe I will move to other city because I have a dream to live in other city in my country.
Moving to other country is good but maybe for a short of vacation only and it will force me to spend a lot of money to stay in other country for too long time.
If I have to go to other country, maybe I'll visit Singapore or Macau only because I want to feel the experience of gambling in a land based casino
Staying in our country is the best choice IMO and maybe we should use the money to build a business so we will not just use the winning for consumtive things only.
Once my business is running well and I can make much more money with it, then I can think about moving to other country  

I would actually stay in Finland. I wouldn't need to even pay taxes if it was a Finnish lottery.

Living would be costs would be more, but i could afford it, and the quality of life, clear water and safety is what i want. And i like where i live, so i would probably buy a decent house that's cheap to maintain, and invest majority of the money. And i would probably save money with free healthcare in the end.

But i would definitely want to visit places like Japan and Korea. I just watched a youtube video from japanese content maker who said that usually people have a honeymoon phase for the new place, when everything is new and we see only the surface. Then we can feel even like we found our new home, but after awhile reality hits and we see deeper on the cultural differences. We start to miss our things from our own culture, and place is getting more and more on our nerves. We often end up feeling outsiders and eventually want to just move back home.

And obviously all the cheap places would be on my travel list. Everyone wants to live like a kind for a while and able to afford luxury. But i couldn't help wondering if that would mean that i would be missing moe autenthic experience if i was spoilng myself and drinking expensive drinks, while really interesting people wouldn't even invite me anywhere as i would seem as another rich annoyting tourist.

Can I choose my house? If I should win $2 million from lottery I’ll simply go to my house, lol.

But to be more sincere if I should win that kind of money I’ll look for a country that’s not expensive to live in and also has great potentials for me to start a business that will flourish without being rekt by tax and alll those government money draining mechanisms.

There’s a country that’s quite popular in my community that youth normally travel to once they have managed to save some money and I think that should also do for me (for security purposes I won’t state the name of the country).

I'd probably take a rest for a few weeks with that amount to be able to think of the most efficient way to make use of the reward. I would probably avoid playing more right after winning 'coz everyone is prone of greed. Such thing is normal; money is just a powerful drive to each and everyone of us especially to those who are losing often. I would even understand those who will be fond of wanting for more. However, as we all know, not being greedy is the best thing to do to avoid turing your profit into a huge loss and of course regrets. This is not to close the doors from playing but at least calm yourself down first. The least thing we should do on such instance is to not let our emotions take over our gambling activities or to play for us. It is also a decent amount to start something profitable such as investment or a business that would make your rewards bigger over time.

Two million is not a small amount in any country. As a gambler I never expect such a win. But everyone has the desire to get such money in imagination. If I get such money then I will definitely try to fulfill my hobbies. If there is any desire after the basic human needs in present day it is travel. Everyone likes to see diversity. Rich and poor each try to travel from their respective positions. If I can win 2 million money then of course I want to travel to a country of my choice. But there is no desire to live there permanently. Because my country supports me enough, why should I try to live permanently in another country?

For me, the answer is simple. because, what we are discussing is just "if by chance" which can be said to be not the actual conditions. Honestly, I can't answer your question. because theoretically what we are talking about is if, not the actual situation. But that doesn't mean everyone shouldn't plan, if one day they happen to win a jackpot, let's say it's $2 million. what is certain is that at least someone can do what they like and what they want, including moving to another country. once I say it, personally I don't think too much or hope about something that hasn't actually happened yet. I can't conclude anything, because we are talking about something that hasn't happened yet.

In fact, the chances of getting a really fantastic lottery are very small. that doesn't mean I underestimate the dreams of lottery fans, it's just that I'm realistic. never mind getting $2 million, be it local currency or whatever, let alone dollars, getting lottery prizes or from other gambling, with just one hundred thousand dollars I can get a big house in my country. the question is, how lucky are we to get the luck of a lottery prize, let alone a jackpot win? in fact, I can't even imagine it. but for those who like lotteries, there's no harm in thinking as written in this thread. and that, is the right of each individual.

I would also stay in my country, like most of the members who voted so far. I would definitely spend some money in travels, far away but especially nearby (London, Paris, Rome, etc. are quite near from where I live, so if I had enough money: why not go and have dinner in any of these cities? nah, kidding, I care too much about the planet to be such an asshole, no matter my wealth).

I'd rather invest in local business and enjoy a dear life with my family and friends in my beautiful homeland.

Talk about life-changing! Deciding where to settle down with that kinda dough is a head-scratcher, for sure. Staying put in your home country with its dirt-cheap living sounds pretty sweet. Living like royalty with a private resort and helping your fam for generations? Sign me up! Plus, supporting local businesses with new ventures – that's boss moves right there.

Think about it, no culture shock, language barriers, or weird social norms to navigate. You're already comfy and familiar, free to enjoy the good life without needing fancy cars or designer clothes to impress anyone. Happiness ain't about showing off, it's about living chill and doing what makes you grin.

Of course, there's another side to the coin. Maybe your home country doesn't offer the same career opportunities as other fancy places, or maybe you're the adventurous type who digs stepping outside your comfort zone. And hey, nobody's saying you can't invest some of that cash for future security or jetset on epic vacays to experience new cultures. It's all about finding the sweet spot between familiar comfort and exciting new experiences, right?

Well, 2 million dollars is a very big amount of money if it will be converted to my country's currency. I could go not just to the country that is in the choices, but to my country. Why? Simply because I know the beauty of my country and I would like to appreciate it first and see it for myself before I could go to another country, like they said, its more fun in your country, so I will support my local tourism before anything else.

I could not just go to another country; I could start businesses that I have in mind in order for me to grow my money even more, and then I could go whenever and anytime I wanted. That is a very practical or efficient goal. I don't want a temporary luxury life; I want it to last until the next generation of my family.

I will consider moving to a country that has a low living cost, is secure, and has work or business opportunities. $2m is not enough to fully retire on because it will soon finish if you don't make use of it very well. I will not retire or stop working because of such an amount so I would like to go to a country where I will have the opportunity to work and earn money and the $ 2 million will be for emergency funds and investment. I am not moving to a country for pleasure, but to sustain my wealth and live a good life with my family. But my priority will be how secured the country is. My country is going through security problems such as kidnapping which make it unsafe to stay if you remain in the country.

I chose London. But I'm not sure if $2M is enough to live a comfortable life in that country I'd probably just stay for a month roaming around EU and maybe try going to Saudi and Egypt to crawl under some pyramids and back to my country. Nothing feels like home still.  Living with family is still the best whether I have money or not.


Apart from that it's expensive in other countries, being someone new there means you know no one. This is kinda like isolating yourself. There are countries where you could live like a kind with $2M, its just not going to be safe for you there. Cambodia or Thailand could be cheaper.

I'm not moving, instead I will just stay in my country as the living expenses isn't that high. $2 million is already a fortune for me, I would be wise with that, I would reinvest it so it will grow. Maybe, to reward myself of that huge winning, I'm going to tour the entire country so it will be less expensive, and when the business that I had invested coming from the money I won is growing, then that might be the time I'll take the fruits of it and spend it to go worldwide vacation. This is just a plan though since I haven't won in actual life, but for sure it could change once I have the real money on my bank account.
