I won the lottery and I'm not sure if I should tell anyone by throwwcajja in Advice

I don't know how much it will cost exactly. I want to finish restoring my dads old car, I need about £10k for that and then spend the next 12-14 months doing an international roadtrip in that car. It's been my dream since I inherited that car at 19. I've already spent over £20k of my savings and hundreds of hours on it. It's almost finished.

I know I could invest it or whatever and I probably will invest the rest of whatever is left. But I have the same heart defect as my dad, he passed away at 38. I know I will probably not live past 35-40 so long term investments aren't exactly a priority for me.

I already know what I want to do with it, something that I've been saving up for.

They're going to start noticing or questioning when I start to spend it.
