I'm in a fortune position that I'm at a place that I can cover all my normal bills, so the difference for me is now what happens to my discretionary funds (savings etc) and that is going to get wiped out by inflation. So I'd be worse off.
The topic title clearly frames this as a UBI, so we all get the same at the same time. If we are talking about a fair lottery win (say winning set for life) then it's a different proposition.
But if you want to lean into the fantasy, I'd argue any spending is considered a bill and all bills are magically covered, then I'm stopping work and traveling the world until I get bored and I'd get the house fully renovated whilst I was away.
Edit: If I won set for life, I'd go down to 3 or 4 days a week. I think I need the stability of work for my routine but I don't want to work 5 days a week. I'd try and do one of my big aspirational projects in that time like write a novel or publish a board game, but I'd likely sleep and play computer games instead.
