Another way to look at this is ask yourself ‘is the first payment enough to buy all my first year toys?’ Sure, expenses expand to fill the budget. Tomorrow’s PowerBall pays out $6.1 million per year, minus taxes is still enough to buy my dream home and a year’s worth of living large. You?

Who else wants a sound effect for losing tickets? I just feel like I'd look forward to presenting my unvetted tickets to the cashier if there was a sound effect for losing tickets. What sound effect would you like to have for losing tickets, if the machine had one?

If you win the jackpot, would you seek advice from a heavily advertised "Lottery Winnings Attorney" or a traditional estate planning attorney to establish a trust for your winnings? What factors would influence your choice?

In order to avoid a double tax, meaning if instead of you winning and getting taxed and then giving money away and having that money taxed again, could you divided a ticket into varying percentages? Could a lawyer create something with each person's name, percentage and how much they "p...

OK, so if I win a million dollars and let's just say 35% is taken out for taxes. I get a check for $650,000. When I file taxes for 2025 I'd get charged another large percent, right?

Alright, Texas, let’s talk about how the lottery is basically one big pay-to-win scheme now. If you thought you had a shot at winning, think again—because rich investors and courier services are out here buying up every single number combination like it's a Black Friday sale. This isn’t a co...

Assuming it’s a shit ton of money after taxes, I’d meet with wealth advisors and lawyers to claim it anonymously, I’d have it set up where I can live super comfortable off the interest and put a savings account for my kids, I’d then pay off all of my dad and moms debt, mine aswell, and set my f...

People have different numbers, needs and lifestyles, but let's say 100k to 300k Its not enough to truly be set up for life, its a number that you have to be smart with what your doing, even up to just 1 million it doesn't go far if your not strategic Personally I'd be looking at be...

I'll start. My dream vacation would be doing a 'Big Lap' around Australia. Something like the image below. Instead of doing the whole lap in a single vacation, I would divide the lap into 4 or 5 separate mini-trips. https://preview.redd.it/opq14w1uelie1.png?width=1492&format=png...

I always choose the annuity option when buying Powerball or Mega Millions tickets. Even if I were to win, I wouldn’t suddenly acquire an overwhelming fortune requiring estate planners, financial advisors, and all the extra hassle. Instead, I’d receive around $1–1.5 million per year—an amount that...

Just found out I won $4 on the PB and the $3 on a scratch ticket. 🤭 I haven't won something in a minute. Is this a sign? 🤔

What kind of lawsuits do you think would come to you once win? And how do you protect yourself from them?

If I had "fuck you money," I would buy a 16 foot camper, a truck, and drive in an loop, starting in Southern California, up to Alaska, then to Ontario, then to New York, Florida, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, and back to Southern California. I'd have multiple stops of course, to check o...

Let's say I win the lottery. And like everyone, I'm not fantasizing about 10,000 dollars here. Let's say I win Mega Millions or Powerball jackpot. I've heard a rumor that if you have been using state healthcare as I have, that you would have to pay back your expenses from the past...

Edit: after checking my math 3x so this can be as realistic as possible, I miscalculated estimated taxes (37%), your take home would actually be around $431,550,000.00, about $145 million less than the title says What’s going through your head? (For me: probably just silence, and “what?” for th...

If I won the lottery in California is there a way to claim the winnings without everyone knowing my name? Someone suggested LLC in Delaware and claim the winnings as the LLC. Any ideas?

I guess its a pretty good lottery. $1000 per day for rest of your life. I think its very much sufficient to lead a king-sized life.

Often my wife and I have talked about what we would do if we won the lottery. She works as a physical therapist and I have owned a small business for 24 years. “I mean really small like 30k or less a year small”. But I love it. We live in a 200k house that we just bought. Simple 3 bed 2 bath...

I want to hear about people’s fantasies; I don’t want to hear from people who’ll just lay low and stick with what they have now. What would you buy/do of the following if you were FORCED to choose: New or classic car Type and/or location of new house Where would you take your family on a vacat...

There used to be a very rich man in my home State who felt sorry for people with hard luck stories. He set up a system where he would give away millions of his own money to strangers who had serious economic, medical, or relationship issues. People would write him a letter at a designed address ...

Hey so I haven't won yet, but when I do do I sign the ticket before setting up a trust or do I have to establish the trust first? Reading differing things online and they say to sign but leave room for the trust to sign as well? What are you going to do? What's the best way?

I have this silly daydream of winning a lottery jackpot worth $500M or something but instead of claiming it, I take a picture of the unsigned ticket and I post it on this sub, saying I'm going to put the ticket in a box and bury it somewhere in Yellowstone national park, and the first to find...

If you suddenly became a multi-millionaire, would you pack your bags and move somewhere new, finally settling in your dream location? Where would it be? A beachfront mansion, a cozy cabin in the mountains, or maybe a luxury penthouse in the city? Or would you choose to stay right where you are, ...
