This discussion came out when a friend told me that he planned to move out of the country if he happened to win the biggest post in the lottery at that time the lottery pot was almost $2 million in our currency, he then asked me where is the best place in the world to moved in case he wins a lottery,
So I check the internet for the best place and I stumble this article
The Best Places to Move When You Win the LotterySo if you happen to win an equivalent of $2 million in your currency, will you move out of the country, from the article I posted and the poll I created from where country you would like to move to in case you win $2 million, you also have the option to stay in your country and why?
I prefer to stay in my country, because the living cost is very cheap here in my country, $2 million is very much enough for all my family up to three generations and I can even help my country by setting up businesses.
I would easily leave the country (because my shithole is at war and this could affect me directly) if I won that amount. But I must note that 2 million is not the “final” amount that covers all your life issues if we are talking about civilized countries. For example, the article to which you refer discusses Oslo and London - I think that 2 million will not be enough there for a long time, and if you are a family man, then this will only be enough to not work for some time, but then you will have to do it anyway. I’m not even sure that this will be enough to purchase at least some real estate and obtain a residence permit.
