Does anyone prefer in person tickets against online tickets or vice versa? I’ve been thinking about if there’s anything different with online or irl tickets for a while. Is there any study’s or statistic on this or is it all just superstition? What do you tend to go for when buying lottery tick...

What would you do if you won $60,000?? I bought a Powerball ticket and saw that is what the “show me cash” prize is at…didn’t play that one and honestly never heard of it even but I was hypothetically debating with my friend what you would do with probably like what assuming $35,000 after taxes??...

I’m a bit miffed; I was in a bit of a hurry and filled out a lottery slip like I usually do, only to find I purchased “Just the jackpot” for mega millions…I’ve never played this way, but curious to know if any of you all play this way and why ?!? My odds are way off and it was $6 so I’m not too h...

Say you hit a 200 million jackpot after taxes and you want to give family and friends more than the lifetime gift amount but don't want to pay any extra taxes. Can you make an llc or trust where someone has a 1% stake so they now have 2 million and it doesn't count against the lifetime gi...

Just a couple days ago I went to the store and stood in front of the vending machine. I would select a ticket that stood out to me…. I did this 7 times and 5 of my scratchers were winners. I am practicing strengthening my intuition. I remember the first time it happened I was at a gas station and...

Let me share my two cents. Let’s say you win the lottery of a big amount and you must go public or do a press conference yada yada. People always throw the term “woodwork” around and having to deal with people coming up to you asking for a handout when you could just delete all your social media ...

Saving for retirement? Pfft, who needs that when I’ve got my winning lottery strategy all figured out! I mean, who needs a 401(k) when you can buy a $2 ticket and dream about being a billionaire overnight? Sure, the odds are slim—like, getting-struck-by-lightning-twice slim—but isn’t that what ma...

With a big win, well over $20 mil, I’d get… City house - Manhattan high rise condo with city views, $2-$3 million Mountain house - 20 acres in Durango, Colorado with stunning mountain views $8-9 million…I’d go all out, here. You can dig really deep in the mountains, probably deep enough for u...

Based on this link, looks like only 5% of the collected money goes to winners, the rest is used for public schools, overhead, and such. I mention this as some good is already being done with the money, before the winner gets their share. I'm surprised when people mention they would give a si...

I’m a traveling nurse, and sometimes have lots of downtime between travels and job assignments, so my favorite pastime is engaging lotteries social media on special promotions or even claiming in person when time permits winning tickets of various prize amounts .

If you won 250M after taxes and could pull 10M a year (~833K a month) without touching the 250M, what do your monthly budgeted expenses look like? This is how I would spend my millions. Mortgage/home insurance and home up-keep: $208K Food/restaurants/personal chef: 15K Utilites: 3K Entertain...

If I played the lottery and got a big ol' pile of money I'd do all the sensible things (pay off debt, set up trusts for family, etc) but I'd also hire someone to edit movies and shows to my liking. I don't want to change the contents of the movie, I just want to watch old movies ...

If you won a large amount of money how would you go about not spoiling the kids. I think most people would give gifts etc but how do you not take away their desire to do or achieve something themselves. It’s easy to give them a million or two but then they probably aren’t going to be very driven...
