obviously i wouldn't tell my family i won. i'll move away, go to school, and buy up (mostly) passive income properties (laundromats, vending machines, etc), and carefully invest to grow my income. then after i graduate, i'm gonna build my own zoo or an aquarium. hopefully when i tell...

Aa the title says. Whether to work in a supermarket, an oil rig, as a professional, or still in university studying... How much would it take in lottery winnings to make you feel secure in leaving your career behind ? Also...what would you consider the smartest way to invest lottery winnings s...

Would you do all the right things in getting lawyers and other professionals and only then claim? Would you wait a few months to make any time taking preparations? Or are you heading straight to the lottery office the morning after with ticket in hand? As per myself, I'd like to think I&#...

Soon the ticket price will increase to $5 and Im starting to question a few things. Is it just me or does feel a little bit strange the locations that jackpots get hit. Seems as though the jackpots go in streaks. 2 of the last 4 MM jackpots goes to Texas. NJ hit the MM, then quickly the PB went...

So as we all know, this election this year is pretty important and we now know that someone won the 800m mega millions in Texas this morning. This is not politics based but I believe if you were to claim your winnings on a day where EVERYONE is focused on voting and seeing who will be president i...

Lets say you were to invest in t-bills and live off the interest. That money goes into your checking account. Could you give your relative (mom) a debit card with a monthly limit to that account and not pay a gift tax?

say you win 400million. would you take the lump sum option and then share the wealth with family/loved ones, go on vacations, buy a few mansions/ vacation homes ( pay in full), pay off debt ( student loans), purchase a new car & then invest your money in: buying shopping centers buy an apart...

I've thought alot about this. I want to win a lottery jackpot of over $500 million dollars because I would do yearly payouts for 30 years and that would be a great amount for me and what I want to do, which is nothing really exciting, buy a house under a LLC and Trust, help my friend, her mom...

I'd much rather the latter option myself. Since nobody outside your immediate family knows about your fortunes, it gives you extra reason to live as normal a lifestyle as possible so nobody in public can ever suspect you're the anonymous winner. View Poll

Does anyone prefer in person tickets against online tickets or vice versa? I’ve been thinking about if there’s anything different with online or irl tickets for a while. Is there any study’s or statistic on this or is it all just superstition? What do you tend to go for when buying lottery tick...

You were going about your normal business, not thinking about buying a lottery ticket at that moment; but through some chance events you end up at a location where you happen to buy the winning ticket. "I wasn't going to clear those branches from the road; but them lying there blocking ...

I imagine hes not the only edwin castro in california, and according to this article when he won he released a statement attempting to throw people off his trail by saying he'll give the money to his grandchildren, what went wrong despite this? how long after accepting the money was he "...

What would you do if you won $60,000?? I bought a Powerball ticket and saw that is what the “show me cash” prize is at…didn’t play that one and honestly never heard of it even but I was hypothetically debating with my friend what you would do with probably like what assuming $35,000 after taxes??...

I’m a bit miffed; I was in a bit of a hurry and filled out a lottery slip like I usually do, only to find I purchased “Just the jackpot” for mega millions…I’ve never played this way, but curious to know if any of you all play this way and why ?!? My odds are way off and it was $6 so I’m not too h...

Say you hit a 200 million jackpot after taxes and you want to give family and friends more than the lifetime gift amount but don't want to pay any extra taxes. Can you make an llc or trust where someone has a 1% stake so they now have 2 million and it doesn't count against the lifetime gi...

Just a couple days ago I went to the store and stood in front of the vending machine. I would select a ticket that stood out to me…. I did this 7 times and 5 of my scratchers were winners. I am practicing strengthening my intuition. I remember the first time it happened I was at a gas station and...

Let me share my two cents. Let’s say you win the lottery of a big amount and you must go public or do a press conference yada yada. People always throw the term “woodwork” around and having to deal with people coming up to you asking for a handout when you could just delete all your social media ...

Meaning living comfortably but m+odestly. I would do my best with the only execption is having one place of living in a warmer state for the winter and a milder climate for the summer. Don't know if I would get actual houses or a condo for security when no one is there for the 6 months or so ...

Saving for retirement? Pfft, who needs that when I’ve got my winning lottery strategy all figured out! I mean, who needs a 401(k) when you can buy a $2 ticket and dream about being a billionaire overnight? Sure, the odds are slim—like, getting-struck-by-lightning-twice slim—but isn’t that what ma...

Koenigsegg Gemera - this has got to be my number one pick i'd probably also buy a decked out toyota ute

30 acres riverfront farm. I have my food, water and shelter in one place. https://vidarealty.bz/property/30-acre-secluded-riverfront-farm-with-home-on-the-belize-river/

With a big win, well over $20 mil, I’d get… City house - Manhattan high rise condo with city views, $2-$3 million Mountain house - 20 acres in Durango, Colorado with stunning mountain views $8-9 million…I’d go all out, here. You can dig really deep in the mountains, probably deep enough for u...

Based on this link, looks like only 5% of the collected money goes to winners, the rest is used for public schools, overhead, and such. I mention this as some good is already being done with the money, before the winner gets their share. I'm surprised when people mention they would give a si...

I’m a traveling nurse, and sometimes have lots of downtime between travels and job assignments, so my favorite pastime is engaging lotteries social media on special promotions or even claiming in person when time permits winning tickets of various prize amounts . I’ll provide my list below and r...

First Off, this assumes that you live or won in a state where you can claim a prize anonymously, either via Trust, or via an LLC. There are a few more exotic ways that prizes can be claimed anonymously, but the approaches outlined here are the most common. While I am an attorney, this is not leg...
