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 ...

* **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...

What's your routine for checking your tickets to see if you won? Do you do it immediately as the draw happens or do you like to wait a bit? Personally, I like to wait until the next morning because in my mind I've both won and lost until I check my numbers.

If so, what was that like? I’ve been thinking a lot about what the optics would be like if I were to win a large lottery.

I think about winning literally every day, and more and more I fear I would become paranoid. I would be (even) more reclusive, overly cautious, untrusting… On the other hand I would be more generous, active, and I know I wouldn’t be one of those winners who goes bankrupt by buying stupid shit an...

I expected the sub to be fun, but it’s actually quite gloomy and dramatic. Not about current problems that would make someone fantasize about winning t...

I've heard too many horror stories and I've watched too many true crime documentaries to understand that, although having a lot of money may seem like a paradise, one of the problems that comes with it is people around you suddenly changing. And being from a family that is well known for ...

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?

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...
