Don't know what to do next

College Confidential Community

I am a full-time student and I am currently unemployed. My boyfriend bought me a powerball ticket for my birthday months ago, which I just found today at the bottom of my purse. I checked it online, imagining I would just throw it away. I won $40,000. What do I do now? Do I change my FAFSA, call the school? I think I will lose my financial aid for the rest of this year, and for next year, right? So even though I won, after taxes and losing my financial aid, I don’t feel like much of a winner, lol. What should I do first?

I am being completely serious, this is not a joke. I really need to know what to do. I don’t want to do the wrong thing and get in trouble.
