I think if you’re in your 20s you could absolutely retire for life if you win $10m.

The government is going to take half of it back in taxes which leaves you with $5m. Even if you don’t invest any of it in anything, if you live to 80, that would be like $83k/yr not including social security that you would be able to collect past 65

Heck maybe you go out and buy a $400k house in cash saving a bunch in interest payments. That would still leave you ~77k/yr for life.
