A young lottery millionaire from the USA has crucial tips. The 24-year-old, who asked to remain anonymous, told Britain’s Mirror: “I won $5.6 million in the lottery. My wife and I used that money to pay off our student loans.”

They also promptly paid off the mortgage on their house and car. And so the equivalent of a whopping 4.5 million euros remained. Then the two wondered what to do with the money. They knew they didn’t want to squander it. After all, their whole lives lie ahead of them.
