19 y/o Rosa Dominguez from California is having the time of her life as the young teen hit the daily double when she won the lottery TWICE in just ONE WEEK!!

She was driving home from Arizona and was feeling lucky so she stopped at a gas station and bought a few scratch and wins

She scratched off the $5 Power 5's ticket and discovered she won the TOP PRIZE of $555,555!!

Rosa said "I was so nervous, i just wanted to cry"..and a few days later after winning more than a half ilion, she stopped at another gas station and pushed her luck again and purchased $5 Lucky Fortune Scratcher and miraculously won $100,000!!

Rosa was so ecstatic that she went shopping immediately after cashing them in and bought herself a new car aas she collected her earnings from California Lottery East Bay District..

Her total earnings in one week was 655,555...

aaaaaaand it's gone

I'd probably not retire, but I'd for sure quit my job for a year or two

I have 40 years before I retire.

655,555/40 = 16,388 a year.

so no.
---

Couldn't retire, but that would be enough for my wife and I to work part time for the rest of our lives.
---

I'd give half of it to an organization with the worst performance record not in the private sector. Oh wait...
---

I probably couldn't retire per se, but I wouldn't need to work a traditional job. I'm too young to just live outright on it.
---

That wouldn't be enough to retire on really at a young age.
---

Nope. I'd invest it and continue working.

Not factoring in inflation, I could double my living expenses and live for the next 40 years on that.

You don't think your parents would kick you out or, at least, start charging you rent after a big win?

Would you retire now at this point in your life if you won $655,555?

Wouldn't be nearly enough

No but anything above $250,000 can really change your life... you are able to do whatever the fuck you want, and have more time to find the right "career". You can't really live off the livings but even a quarter million can take a shit load off your shoulders if you're smart with it

Or you could just invest it, keep doing what you're doing, and in 40-50 years you'll have a good sized nest egg.

If I won:

- Keep my reliable car even though it's old, maybe fix some minor problems
- Buy a decent house outright if I can get it cheaper that way or put a large deposit. (Unless I'm underestimating housing costs in my area)
- Pay off my really small amount of debt.
- Talk with my parents to see what kind of debts they still have and most likely help them out in some way. I doubt they have am extreme amount of debt
- Hire a reputable investor or investment firm to make my money make money.
- Continue working my job. Coworkers might get weird about it though... So I may take a break and go to college
---

I'd invest at least 75% of it. Maybe use the rest to start paying off a house.

Be careful, if you're not a parent giving to their children, or a grandparent giving to their grandchildren, what you are allowed to give to someone taxfree is actually a lot lower than what you might expect.

Considering how arv doesn't make much that sounds like how much arv would make in a life time
---

Retire? Of course. I probably won't live long anyways.
And so...
However, I refuse to gamble and I strongly believe that gambling is evil and should be outlawed to prevent tragedies!!

Well, my father's dead and my mother left the country, and an American dollar goes farther here than it does elsewhere, but thanks for assuming I'm a basement dweller instead of just really poor - that actually gives me a lot more dignity.
