In our country there is a proverb that it is bad luck to divide the skin of a bear that has not been killed.:)

- Would buy a house?
- Would invest in real estate, shares and cryptocurrencies?
- Would buy a car?
- It would help your family?

What would you spend that money on?
- Would invest in real estate, shares and cryptocurrencies.
This option seems to me to be the most relevant. I think that's what I would do.

If I won a good prize in poker I would definitely buy a car, which would help 100% of my problems with getting to work.

Hi :)
I would invest in stocks, real estate and, of course, cryptocurrencies. I think these are the most relevant investment areas today.
In general, it's not a problem where to invest :)

If I won a big prize in poker I would definitely invest part of the prize in my bankroll to play more expensive tournaments, and I would buy a house or something like that lol

I would invest in real estate. I once worked as a realtor for several years, and I understood this business quite well, I know for sure that I could find very good and promising options for investment.

If I won a big prize in a tournament, the first thing I’d consider is investing in real estate, perhaps an apartment. Ideally, I’d look into purchasing property in another country for a change of scenery and new opportunities. I definitely wouldn’t put the money back into poker, but rather focus on something more stable and fundamental, like generating passive income through smart investments.

Of course, it all depends on the amount in question. If, say, I won more than $100,000, I would invest this money in cryptocurrencies, stocks and securities.

It's a toss up between gold and silver or bitcoin. Probably all three.

I don't know, I think I'll use it to buy things I need and I'll put the rest on a fixed deadline.

I would buy a house, any prize I win after buying the house I could use for anything. Knowing that I have an insured home would be a great achievement, it's one of my first life goals

I would probably also invest in real estate, or maybe I would consider starting my own business. I have been doing repairs for several years and for my own business I would need some equipment that would pay for itself very quickly. I think it would be a good investment option.

The first thing you should do after winning a big prize in a poker tournament is take a step back and plan. It’s tempting to celebrate and spend impulsively, but smart financial management is key. Set aside taxes first—depending on where you live, a significant portion may be owed to the government. Next, pay off any debts or financial obligations you have. Then, consider bankroll management—determine how much you’ll reinvest in poker versus how much you’ll save. It’s also wise to diversify your winnings, whether by investing, securing future stability, or making meaningful purchases. And of course, reward yourself a little—but responsibly!
