Where Do You Want To Go To If You Win $2 million On Lottery

[arwin100]

This discussion came out when a friend told me that he planned to move out of the country if he happened to win the biggest post in the lottery at that time the lottery pot was almost $2 million in our currency, he then asked me where is the best place in the world to moved in case he wins a lottery,

So I check the internet for the best place and I stumble this article

The Best Places to Move When You Win the Lottery

So if you happen to win an equivalent of $2 million in your currency, will you move out of the country, from the article I posted and the poll I created from where country you would like to move to in case you win $2 million, you also have the option to stay in your country and why?

I prefer to stay in my country, because the living cost is very cheap here in my country, $2 million is very much enough for all my family up to three generations and I can even help my country by setting up businesses.

Although traveling is good to shaken up our stress and eliminate this in our system still I will not go any far like going overseas since I don't want to miss out any investment opportunities online or offline since I make sure that I'm always available especially when my presence is needed. Maybe travel local is enough so that no huge disturbance will be made since we don't know what will happen if we go abroad since for sure we can get limited access on everything since we are not so sure on the places we go.

So if happen I win that 2 million for sure majority of that amount will go to other investment and only low percentage will go to local travels.

But hopefully everything we discuss here is gambling related since this thread is posted on gambling related board.

Well for most people, whom the economy status of their country is very favorable, they would prefer to stay and enjoy their winnings in their country. But not all country has a cheap cost of living. For a place like mine in the west Africa, the economy is indeed unbearable and anyone with such Amount of money would want to go for a better life.

Lottery in so many occasions has changed lives for many and created opportunities for them to go out of their country for better life. I know of so many families whom won some country lottery and they have all moved out of the country and now residents of other countries. For me, I will probably do same as I don't think I'm enjoying the condition of my country. For someone earning even in dollars. The cost of living is still very high for them so for what reason would someone not want to move migrate to another country of choice.

I would rather stay in my country than move abroad. If I move abroad, I will still have to adapt to the habits of the people there. I also had to learn the language and culture. I have a lot to learn and I also have to learn about how much it costs to live for a person or a family every day.

If the cost of living is still cheap and cheaper than in my country, I still don't want to move to that country. $2 million can cover my family's needs for maybe 2 generations. Instead of moving to another country where I know nothing, I might use my big winnings to buy Bitcoin.

Buying Bitcoin with that money would be better for me. I can hold a lot of Bitcoin until the new ATH. But if I move to another country, I will have to spend money before settling there. I am also still processing citizenship transfer papers if I want to become a citizen there.

I have selected Gold Coast Australia, as I have never heard about this location and between all other locations from the list, it is the farthest point from my location. I would be a nice experience visit Gold Coast based on pictures that google show. I dont how much it will cost to live there (based on pictures, it will be costly), but $2 millions will be enough to spend some weeks or a month there without limiting yourself too much. Definitely I would not spend whole $2 millions on a vacation, but a significant part of it for sure.

If I were to win $2 million, I would stay in our home country, the Philippines. The cost of living is quite affordable here, and with that amount, I could provide for my family for several generations. Additionally, I would love to give back to the community by setting up businesses and contributing to the local economy. Staying here means I wouldn't face the challenges of adapting to a new culture, language, and environment. This amount could go a long way in providing for my family and investing in businesses.

moving to another country can become expensive, I'd rather stay In my country, create a business, invest and try to grow the money I won from the lottery despite the terrible government and shitty economy that we have. I can visit other countries for vacation but moving to them is out of the question(maybe I'll move if I feel that I am financially secure enough to move to another country).

2 million dollars is a big amount to win in the lottery here in my country. Most of our local lotteries barely reach the half million dollars. Anyways, leaving that little fact about my country to one side... I believe I would like to move out the country if I happen to suddenly win that amount of money, I would buy Bitcoin with with and then move to Ireland or the United Kingdom. London is a city which I have always wanted to visit, though it is such an expensive place I would not even be sure I would life for the rest of my life in a comfortable way with 2 million dollars in my pocket.
A better option would be to get a small but comfortable home in the outskirts of the English metropolis, far away enough for the price of homes to drop, but not too far for one to give up on having access to businesses and supermarkets in the area.
Staying in one's country is also an option if the prices are lower than abroad, though, I am afraid becoming a millionaire here and staying could only bring problems in the long term because of the degree of corruption and criminality one can see all around, if one cannot safely enough one's fortune gotten through gambling in one's country, then it is better just to leave, for the sake of one's mental health and the peace of mind of one's family.

If I win $2 million in lottery, first I will help my family and all my relatives, and I will invest a reasonable amount, then take a small vacation around the world, but since you named the places, I will want to go to England, especially to Liverpool, and watch one of the top matches in the league

[Marvelman]

I'm already blessed to call this gorgeous country my home.  No amount of cash can increase my thankfulness for all it has given me.  But winning a couple million smackeroos opens up chances to connect with the beauty here on a whole new plane and  rather than zooming off to some far-flung destination, I'd seek out roads less traveled right here.

The gambler from the developing countries would love to go for the abroad,because they want to have some luxuries life for some days after the big money won from the lottery game.Actually the 2 million was the huge money in both the developed and developing countries.The gamblers want to live the rest of their life in the developed countries will check for the country you had mentioned.

And you not mention the Paris in the list,Paris was the most famous one for the people to be visited atleast once in their life time.Some gamblers also use to buy bitcoin with some of the money raised from the Jackpot.The crypto currency investment will multiply your money in the cryptocurrency trading.

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.

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 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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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?

[Lorence.xD]

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.

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).
