I'd try to put the ticket in a trust and assign a lawyer to obtain the funds. The trust title would not reveal my name other than my illegible signature at the end. Problem is that the state publicizes winners' names. Transparency kind of thing.... Though, I sure do wish I had such a problem!

I'd tell you guys. Some of you guys would be getting a check, or at least top tier smokes--just make me a list.

STOLE!!!

Good one RH

Your mom.

That’s some top level (…FBI / SSG…) stalking!

I’d give my ticket to someone here who lives in a state where you don’t have to publicize your name.
My one caveat would be that person never tell anyone it wasn’t them who bought the ticket.
They’d pay all the taxes, deal with lawyers and accountants. For that, they’d get the majority of the proceeds. A 60/40% kind of breakdown.

No press, no fuss nor muss for Russ.

Well, I answered anyway, I'd be on the phone with my financial advisor.

You trying to figure out who you want to tell?
I like one ton chips in green.

Mo money, mo problems.

Figure out how much we're getting after tax, title and raping by the gov't... split that evenly between my account and the wife's (yes, we have separate accounts). She can help who she wants and I can help who I want.

She'd likely buy property and build a house in the Philippines, as well as helping her family. We'd probably buy a house for the kid and give him enough to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

I'd give some to my sister, niece and nephews. Then help a few friends with enough to alleviate any money worries.

Lease a condo in Baja, buy a very well equipped fishing boat and dock it there. And spend an awful lot of time fishing in the Sea of Cortez.

Shenanigans!

I’d tell no one and carry on business as usual.

I'm pretty sure it could be rigged, but the last time I saw the Georgia lottery broadcast they were blowing numbered pingpong balls out of a machine to pick the numbers. Anything done with computers can be hacked.

[If any of you do win a big pot, I wish you the best. Do be careful. Most people would burn through $100k within 18 months.

I am talking about the ones who got at least $100k in their pockets Everybody they know wants to borrow money for the business they always dreamed of, but could never have achieved. Their family members and friend were given unrepaid loans. When the businesses or ventures failed, they never got repaid.

So, I started telling my clients all of this in the hope it would scar the hell out of them to protect themselves. None listened. Thereafter, whenever I had a large recovery for a client that sufficiently could change the rest of their life economically, I would take them downtown to meet with MY accountant for an hour so he could scare the **** out of them and reinforce what I was telling them to do with the money. Was only truly successful a couple of times, but it was worth it. Almost everyone who catches a windfall spends it all.

So, if anyone here ever catches a windfall of any sort, please start out with a Trust Lawyer, Financial Planner and an Accountant to set everything up the right way to minimize their chance of squandering the windfall.

There would be signs

Goes without saying that I’d buy a chitload of One-Ton Chips. Heck, mebbe even invest in Maebo’s so that the business could flourish and not worry about finances. At that point I’d make sure we expand our distribution to everywhere on the Mainland except PA ‘cause, you know, Keltic can’t have any.

Ye who voted to tell secretly has too much trust and faith in people to keep a secret.

I’d tell nobody, but I would set up everyone I have an addy for with some sort of monthly sex toy membership.

And I would build a sandwich stop next to DrafterX’s house.

Probably update the candy selection. Bare minimum get a coating station so the “M&Ms” don’t say roofie.

I would not care who knew. Inevitably the media coverage would allow anyone who wanted to know to know. Even though I no longer smoke we would throw a darned big party with food, booze, and cigars. Anyone who wanted to come would be welcome. I would also buy my wife a really nice gift. The rest we would invest.

Wrong forum, Noob.

Wrong forum???

You purposefully injected irrelevant, divisive politics into a non-political thread (that is not even in the Political Section). This is a General Discussion of insignificance to your misdirection away from winning the lottery- toward your political views.
