You've got several choices.
Give it to me.
Buy Amy Winehouse a bottle of whiskey.
Buy Britney Spears some under clothing.
Get Paris Hilton a G.E.D.
Get O.J. Simpson some anger management classes.
Get Hillary Clinton something nice from Victoria's Secret. Get Oprah some Apple Bottom jeans.
Help Flava Flav find love.
Get Roger Clemens into a pilates class so he'll leave the steroids alone. |

Pay down your debt.
If you don't have any debt (yeah, right), then take $1,000 and blow it on whatever you want and stick the other $4,000 into savings. |

Convert it to Euros QUICK, before US dollars are worthless! Seriously, PAY BILLS, DEBT, not all of it though, save some for yourself to enjoy. If you don't have bills/debt save it. |

I would use $1,000 for my own self to buy stuff I wouldn't normally be able to get from my paycheck.
I would then find a brokerage firm and invest $4,000 in the stock market. They only make money when you make money so they will try really hard to put it to good work and you might just double it in a couple of years. |

If you have debts, pay them first. Remember the debts you may owe to friends and parents.
Make sure your taxes are paid up.
Perhaps take a useful course.
Keep the rest as a reserve for unexpected expenses. |

Put it in CD (certificate of deposit) and you can borrow $4,000 on it while the $5,000 is gaining interest. |

Invest at least 2000 of it so that it will grow and save the rest for a vacation or something. |

Pay your bills if you have any.
Spoil yourself a little.
Go on vacation with your special someone or friend.
Redecorate a room in your house. |

The first thing you should do is find out how you will be taxed on it. Save what's left. |

Cool! Congratulations!
If I were you I would put at least part of it in a savings bond ...one with high interest that you can touch for 6 months or so.
Not sure about the stock market the way things are going now??
Also, buy yourself something you really want or go somewhere fun! |

1) pay off debt
2) if you have no debt open a brokerage account
3) if you have a brokerage account, invest in it
4) make your winnings make you more money |

Your first option should be to fund fully a retirement account. If you do this, and you have extra cash, then one of the best things you can do is open a DRIP Plan.
These powerful investment plans are seldom talked about because brokers make very little money when they suggest them. Yet, they have proven to be one of the best, if not the best, long-term strategy on Wall Street.
They are perfect for small investors, as well as big investors. They are safe and allow you to not care about whether the market is going up or down. They are a must for any serious investor.
I strongly recommend looking into it. They are great plans. |

get married no just playing. 5000 thats not a lot of money. If you go hay wired with it it will be gone in a day. Just open a bank account or something or put it towards something you really want. |

Why would you ask that question, take what are you into and explore 5k out of it. Easy enough.
Buy a car, buy a bigger tv., save it , party, buy 5k worth of porn whatever you wnat to do with it.
Oh yeah congrats on winning 5 k but it's not that much money, so enjoy it!!!! |
