10 things you can do with a million euros.

Buy your dream house

Have you always wanted to lovingly renovate an old building and then move into it? Or design and build your dream home yourself? But until now you simply haven't had the wherewithal. Congratulations - these are stories from the past. As a class lottery winner, you will soon hold the keys to your dream house in your hands.

Take a trip around the world

From now on, the whole world is open to you! Think about where you've always wanted to go. Take some time off and plan a route. Or let professionals plan it for you according to your specifications. Snorkel in the Bahamas, celebrate Christmas under palm trees, marvel at the pyramids, walk along the Great Wall of China and simply stay longer where you particularly like it!

Take some time out

Stretch out a hammock between two fruit trees. Enjoy the soothing swing. And while you're at it, think about what you want to do with your life. If you're more of an ascetic or approaching retirement, a million might get you by for the rest of your life. Otherwise, use the money to redesign your life. Be brave! This leads directly to our next point.

Start your own business

You may have always had this dream - but those around you have always dismissed it as unreasonable. But now it's time to start your own business. Take matters into your own hands. Get help from professionals. Work out a business plan on how to profit from your talents. If you want to cook and sell jam, do it. If you want to have your own market garden, do it now!

Send your children to the best schools

Turn your profits into an investment in the future of the next generation. Because your money can ensure that your children get to enjoy an education that is otherwise only available to the elite. At public schools and universities in Germany and abroad, your children will not only benefit from better learning conditions. They also make important contacts for later life.

Take on social responsibility

Use your money to lay the foundation for a social project that is close to your heart. Maybe it's research into diseases, aid projects in poorer countries, educational opportunities - decide what your heart is set on. You could, for example, set up a foundation and use clever marketing to ensure that new money flows into the coffers to drive your project forward.

Make a big gift to friends and family

Do you love to give gifts to your friends and family? Then make a list of the things you know they've been wanting for a long time. Play a little fairy godmother and enjoy the joy of the people you care about.

Buy a holiday home

Your family lives far and wide and family gatherings are always a real odyssey? Buy a holiday home and meet there regularly.

Buy a small island

Do you sometimes want to escape from crowds and consumerism? Then it would be worth considering buying a secluded little island. Far away from civilisation, you might find your own private happiness.

Treat yourself to a little luxury

Perhaps an island of your own is a bit too much for you? Then why not treat yourself to the everyday luxuries of your present life. No matter whether you have always dreamed of a sleek sports car, luxury watches or extravagant fashion: with one million, almost anything is possible.
