What would you do with the lottery money?

I do get other notifications, just nothing about who won the lottery.

Has anyone figured out whether there are certain factors that influence if an active sim wins the lottery or if it truly is completely by random chance?

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I have noticed with sims that I'm playing that win, have very little cash on hand. I'm still testing this theory.

I just got Seasons the other day and when the Lottery day came up, I didn't think much of it and just bought the ticket. I always like for all the "holiday" traditions to be done because it makes my sims happy. The next day I got a pop up saying I won so I was like "Cool." and didn't really pay attention to it further because I was focusing on my other sim completing his tasks at work. Then I look at my household funds and my jaw drops - 1 000 000. You can imagine my reaction. I don't know what to do now.

So if I understand correctly, the prize for winning the lottery that pops up as a surprise holiday in Seasons is one million simoleons. Has anyone here had their sim win that (or marry the random townie who won? :tongue: )? What are your ideas for using it? I honestly have no idea how to spend that kind of money in the game. Maybe move to a castle, buy a chain of restaurants and spend lots of time on expensive vacations?

Never had it yet, it seems to take, like getting to a 5 star celebrity is, FOREVER B)
I would build a house with it if I Did win instead of motherload, with a from rages/riches game.

I haven’t had that surprise holiday for ages! :(

I’d give them the best lot in the game and save the rest for future generations (if you play legacy like me)

The game gets boring if they get everything so easily. I don't want my sims living in a mansion. My current sim just added a third bedroom so she could put her video equipment and guitar somewhere. She has a small house and I'm happy with it. She's a B lister. So, to be honest, I don't want her to win the lottery.
