After I win the lotto jackpot and the money hits my account. I’m gonna go to a fortune teller and ask them if I’m going to win the lotto jackpot, if their reply is no, I’m going to smile and tip them $500. Good luck to everyone playing the Powerball tonight.

I like to imagine how I might spend at different amounts of winnings, based on how many numbers I might match - would love to hear yours! (Imagine this is the amount in your pocket after taxes, after you hire an accountant / financial advisor, after you give a chunk to charity - this is how much ...

For anyone in Rhondda Cynon Taf area who bought a lottery ticket in June. 12 mil is sitting there unclaimed and only have until December to claim. I can't bear the thought that someone has won all that life changing money and hasnt realised. Only action i could think of was to post on here an...

I'd save the pressed penny machines that have fallen into disrepair or from businesses/entities that have closed or no longer want the machine. I'd have mechanics fix and maintain the machines and a big warehouse to display them complete with coin machines so you can make all the pennies ...

What item that you use daily would you first think to start buying the best version possible? My immediate thoughts are shoes and mattress but I don’t think you can go wrong with most choices

I'm not talking about realistic investments or businesses that are guaranteed to make money. I mean the kind of business you've always wanted to run, even if it would cost a fortune to set up, probably wouldn't make enough profit to live on, or is just too much of a hassle to actually...

I think of what my mother would do; put it all in Stocks and Bonds, except enough for a nice house, a nice Mercedes, a luxury cruise around the world, oh, and a Manhattan shopping trip. Call that the Alice Plan. Then there is what my daughter, Tracy, would do; cash it all in (each million would ...

Say you win something like $750,000. Would you bother setting up anything with a lawyer? Or just collect the money and have an accountant do your taxes?

my happy place is a quiet diner in the middle of the night. if i win the lottery, i will build a private diner on my property. there will be a real cook and waitress, of course. i will then hire actors to run water and bang pots and pans around in the kitchen to emulate kitchen noises. there will...

For those who have been buying tickets for a while, how have your dreams evolved over the years? Maybe they've stayed the same all along? For me, the longer I play the more I've been able to think about the best way to improve my life. My desires between 1 million and 100 million are no ...

Hey future lottery winners I was lurking on this sub and saw a lot of portfolio allocation But when you win a significant sum say $10M + net of taxes The smart thing is to invest the money and not sell the shares to get your cash flow Because if you do that you will pay this pesky little ...

Most posts in this subreddit have a few people who focus only on investing (even if the spirit is more about 'What cool stuff will you do'), However It got me thinking.. When I win £1m (In the UK it's not taxed, but for US folk, assume its $1m landing in your account), and want to act...

The Powerball is over $350M today. After tax for some states you can get at least $80M after taxes and fees. After you've completed your gifts and made your immediate (and not so immediate) purchases, how would you allocate your investments? Would you invest into crypto? Real estate? Are ther...

I've always wanted a bit of tungsten. A sphere or small brick. A bit to have on the desk and appreciate. At $275/kilo (for a 1.5" cube) it's not expensive per se but cool and unnecessary.

I’d go to the phone store and get a god damn new phone number so these fucking robo calls for loans stop calling me! Sorry just had to get that out.

This question is specifically about Arkansas and what to do when you win the Lottery. The back of the ticket should already be signed. That should have been done when the ticket was purchased. Upon winning you only have 180 days to claim the Jackpot. So, time is of the essence. We already kn...

Planning to pick up the prize on Friday morning and take friends out for dinner and drinks. Gonna give some for charity. Thinking a vacation then putting the rest in savings. Thoughts?

4 mill is for instant lifestyle upgrades (house, cars, renovations, holidays) 5 mill is for a local charity close to my heart - Not sure how I'd set this up 25 mill is for my own personal investment fund, comfortably netting £83k a month at 4%, compound investing the rest 25 mill is for t...

Do you have any specific destinations or even hotel/resorts in mind? Which vibe would you prefer, a 5 star overwater bungalow in the Maldives or backpacking through Europe?

The Powerball drawing tonight is for $905 million dollars. If lightning strikes and I win (and my great-grandfather did die of a lightning strike, so hey), these are my plans. Given my state of residence, I would be netting about 27% of the lump sum to start with - i.e., $244M and change after d...

My Detailed Plan if I won the lottery As stated, this is a (mostly) detailed plan of what I would do if I won a truly massive jackpot in the lottery. This is assuming a post-tax win of around $400m for this scenario in the current jackpot. If it goes up and I win, my plans will adjust. **Prior ...

Is there a jackpot thats you would consider to much? Maybe to much work or trust involved if you win? Let's say i hit the current PB jackpot a part of me would be paranoid as hell thinking i was getting ripped off some how.

How would you claim a huge lottery win in California while 1) maintaining your anonymity as best and economically as you can; and 2) protecting your assets as best and economically as you can. Obviously, I need this info asap, because I'm winning the lottery tonight :-) Here are my "pa...

* **Why does the Lottery Lawyer ask for a picture of the ticket along with the winner’s face before confirming attorney fees?** I’ve seen several YouTube interviews where he requests a photo of the ticket and the winner’s face to verify that the person contacting him is the actual ticket holder...

Lately I've had the lottery on my mind more and more. Every time I run into an issue that requires cash or just going through the mundanity of normal working life, I daydream about what my life would look like if I won. I can already imagine—complete and utter disbelief at looking at my ticke...
