What is up with the stories of people winning while young? Or people playing a few times and winning? Born under a lucky star?

Powerball in Australia was 40 million so I want to know how would you spend it? Would you tell anyone? What would you invest? What would you splurge on?

People always talk about what they would change after a big win, but what would you miss from your current life if you won? Keep in mind, we are talking a win on par with Edwin Castro, that would require you to change everything. Anonymously claiming is not an option for this scenario. You will g...

10 years ago, if you'd asked me what I'd do with a lottery win, I'd have said: dump it all in a bank term deposit and live off the interest. Looking back, that's a terrible plan — inflation quietly eats the principal over time, and you're also taking on concentrated single-ban...

Edit: theoritical question, not asking if you're gonna tell anyone but more what you perceive winning the lottery to be Is it going to be 1$ ? 10$ ? 1.000$ ? 100.000$ ? 10.000.000$ ? Also, does the amount change depending if you're talking to: your spouse, parents, relatives, coworkers,...

I would not necessarily want to lie to people but saying that I'm 'retired' has certain social baggage.

you find yourself in a situation where you found a lottery ticket for 2 million all winning numbers no one not even cameras saw you pickup the ticket but the person who dropped it is up head of you what do you do take the money or give it back

I told my husband today that if I had money, I wouldn’t care about like a bunch of cars and clothes and whatnot. I want a salad bar set up in my house that someone comes and stocks and freshens up for me so I can have nice salads with all the things that I like best whenever I want.

What would you do with about $2 million after taxes? It's not a colossal jackpot, but damn, it's still life-changing. If he has debts, he has to pay them off first, then secure a roof over his head, and then invest the rest for his retirement.

Tonight's PowerBall jackpot is/was $20 Million. After lump-sum and taxes you have "only" $5.6 Million in the bank. For me, it's easy; I'm retired so I'm just more-retired with an additional $2M in my stocks/bonds portfolio. I'd have a million to splurge; a nice car...

Do you have plans to give back in forms of charity, starting a foundation, or maybe to Church after winning the jackpot? I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas as to where you’re wanting to share your blessings

I'm just curious what people would do in this situation : - Would you keep studying/working? -Would you stop it all and travel the world while you're young? - If you're single, would you wait to meet someone before making big changes to be sure your partner is not just interested ...

There’s a €5,000,000 (tax-free) jackpot tonight here in France. While everyone is busy dreaming about those colossal EuroMillions, Powerball, or MegaMillions billion-dollar prizes, I’ve realized that 5 million is my sweet spot. For me, it’s the ultimate F-U Money. Beyond the material goods, it bu...

This feeling I cannot explain well. I have been playing for nearly 10 years. I only play small amounts, maybe a $5 budget a day. I think of it as a morning coffee or a snack that I sacrifice to play. This scenario was by far the biggest amount that I have won. I was essentially 1 number off wi...

Ive been practicing my manifestation abilities for a bit, I was able to manifest some other pretty nice things, so I think I stand a pretty good chance. But if I did win the Super Lotto and then the Powerball after, would that send alarm bells everywhere starting a full investigation or something...

I know staying anonymous is obviously important and should be allowed in all the states. But is it really that big of a deal if you are not. Sure maybe your friends or family might know or they might not. Even if you have to show your face. I feel like the majority of the public don't go look...

I would tell nobody. I would tell my wife and that's about it. we've been together since 1998 and she's loved me through thick and thin and through multiple illnesses. I would get up and move and just live as quiet silent happy life. I would literally tell not one f****** soul other t...

The US powerball is coming to the UK in a new joint game. At £4, double the cost of a regular lottery ticket will you be playing? How long before we see our first UK powerball billionaire?

I am a teacher, and there are plentiful of things that make teaching not the actual job it should be. I enter the Set for Life, and if I won even second price. I would use it to rent an office space and start a private tutoring centre. So I could actually TEACH with none of rudimental problems. ...

1) New chef-level kitchen in a new home with some Tudor influences and a turret. 2) New blue car with heated seats on both sides and a backup camera. 3) Heated swimming pool and matching exercise equipment to do it together. 4) A vacation home on the beach in the country my spouse was born, so...

…how would you maximise the lottery winnings? £10k per month for 30yrs isn’t that much especially with depreciation. Would you not touch it for a few years to build a pot and invest? Invest in what? Property? Would you quit your job? Curious how one would make it count and properly life changing ...

I‘m reading about mansions, fancy cars and all that… but beyond a little condo, providing for my elderly dog, a little EV to take him on walks maybe a camper van so I can show him the beach and giving money to a former friend and a family member before quietly disappearing from their life, all I ...

I’m choosing to believe that the person in Illinois who won the jackpot last night plays a few tickets with the same 5 numbers with different megas each draw and won both the Jackpot and Match 5 payouts (with a nice Megaplier). Congrats to them.

So you got your mansion, and by 'mansion' I mean a large elegant home with servants' quarters; do you insure it? Or do you think 'insurance is betting against disaster' and self-insure with the millions in the bank?
