I'm thinking about investing it, but I don't know yet.  May be I should put it in a bank, or spend some of it.

U won the lotery?? Good for you! Go around the wourld buy a big house and a nice car, invest about 500,000 that way if the investment doesn't pay off you'll still have some money, don't spend TOO much on the house though, remeber there will still be water electric gas and security bills, not to mention the dreaded council tax! Give a million to charity, but don't go too wild with your money or before you know it it'll be gone and you will still need to pay out on your other bills! Good luck on your spending! Enjoy yourself! But don't go too mad!

I would file 13 and sell it later.  It is a bad time to sell right now.\n\nCoach

Gold is always considered as an safe investment,only if it is 22k or 24 k bars.seeing the market trends,prices won't fall now.They will be stable sooner.

take it to a bullion dealer - the prices are fairly well set - it is worth around a thousand dollars, there is a charge for storage etc. but the price should be around 90% of the actual oz. price.  you will make a hundred or so dollars more if you sell it private - at the rate - or slightly more.  Try a silver smith too - find them in the yellow pages, but first find out what the bullion dealer will buy it for. and what they sell it for - that is the least you will get for it.  they sell it for more than the stock price, and pay less than the stock price. (handling expenses)

Dude, you need to check out what is called an indexed mutual fund. The way it works is the company guarantees your full invested capital; so you can't lose that. The money that they make is added to the value of your fund, but you have to lock it in for a minimum amount of time; can be as long as ten years. This is a good place to start out. If your feeling more daring invest in silver or mining companies like Pan American Silver trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PAA. This baby is on rails right now, you can check them out on their web site and research their history. Hey your the blunt guy aren't you? Well good luck towards your first million and keep living the American dream.

You have to decide if it is a good investment or not.\n\nI suggest you contact several licensed insurance agents in your state and tell them your wishes and needs.  Have them explain term insurance (which is geared toward covering a fixed amount of time - the "term") and permanent insurance (whole life, universal life and variable universal life).  You may also wish to contact one or more financial planners in your area to discuss your personal financial situation.\n\nDo not expect complete answers from a web forum.  You have not given full information about your financial position and needs.  I would not expect anyone to post that sensitive information on a website.\n\nBTW Jstmother's answer is a grave disservice to you and to the insurance world. It is very incomplete and misleading.

Usually you will get a higher interest rate with the larger CD, however unforseen circumstances could cost you alot more. If it were me I would invest it in one $5,000 CD and two $2,000 CD's and one $1,000 CD. This will allow you a better return while also allowing you the chance to withdraw early with minimal damage should you find yourself in a situation where you need the money. (If you need a K note then cash a K note, 2K then cash a 2K ect....)

I say go for it. I did when I was at school. I had excess student loan money after all my tuition had been paid. Made an excellent return on investment. as to the poster who says you should never borrow to invest...that is just madness...EVERY business borrows to invest (when a company issues bonds there are borrowing money from investors at a lower interest rate and investing it at a higher interest rate)and even the government does it i.e. Treasury bills are used to fund government expenditure. as a word of caution though don't invest in stocks. the stock market is not predictable. you are better off with a CD/Treasury bill or a municipal bond

I have not tried this or heard of it.  I would think it couldn't be to good of an investment.

it depends on your age - if you are young and still working stock and bonds are very god but if you are older you ay want to keep a guaranteed return on investment such as CD's\nreal estate is up and down I dont recommend it

Spend $100 on something you want/need.\nSpend another $100 on something stupid (go crazy with this one...once in a lifetime thing)\n\nSave the rest.  Put it up somewhere like you didn't even have it until some time comes along when you really really need money.

Find safe investments through a reputable investment firm.  That way you'll make some money but you won't lose it.  If it's for college you probably want to hang on to at least what you have.

Personally, I would use some of it for home improvements, but you would be wise to leave at least half of it in the bank.  If you're starting a family, you might want it as an extra cushion in case something happens.  It would be a good idea to add to it as frequently as you can.

ask the bank....best thing to do. They should know.

What you do depends a lot on what kind of person you are.  If you have a lot of self-control and self-discipline, take it all now and invest it, living off what it generates.  If it's a large enough amount, it can form the foundation for enough growth to keep you in comfort for the rest of your life if you invest propersly.  If it were me, that's what I'd do.\n\nIf, on the other hand, you're likely to spend it all as soon as you get it, take the sum over time, so you'll always have some money coming to you.  It's not a very good solution though.  Your annual payment in 50 years is going to seem a lot smaller than the one you'd get today.  Inflation would just eat away its buying power.

I WOULD TRY AND INVEST IT. POSSIBLY TRY AND GET REALESTATE PROPERTY. I WOULD WANT TO SEE WHAT REALESTATE  THE GOV. HAD FOR SALE. FORCLOSURES GOOD DEALS ON THAT KIND OF LAND
