+40 If I win the lottery...

If I want a lottery, why would it be important for me to get an attorney?

And how much would an attorney charge?

And should I take the annuity or the lump sum?

+28 @mack_j Yes, get a lawyer. You want a national firm and someone who specializes in trusts. Good lawyers cost good money but hey, you just won the lotto. You can afford it. Always take the lump sum.
