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?

You've won and taken the lump sum which is currently in a blue-chip balanced stocks & bonds portfolio. What would you do to insulate yourself from the Sh*t Hitting the Fan? The thought of WW3 breaking out was remote two weeks ago is much more real today, so what can you to protect yoursel...

NY Senate Bill S2613 is active and has passed the Senate. It aims to allow winners to opt-out of public disclosure. https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2025/S2613

What is the ultimate roadmap or gameplan someone should embark on if they win the lottery? So I don't end up being killed by someone, going broke, or other things that have happened to lottery winners. What is a step-by-step guide on what you would to be safe, make smart financial decisions, ...

Lucky 4 life is getting replaced by “Millionaire for life” so if you win instead of $1000 everyday for the rest of your life you win 1M every year, I like the idea of winning more but it sounds like the odds are gonna be worse, lucky 4 life is the main lottery I like to play so I’m sad to see it ...

If you pulled out the winning ticket for tomorrow’s EuroMillions draw, your wildest dreams would come true. Think of life’s luxuries you could afford with a nine-figure Jackpot of over €120 million.

I always had this worry that if I won the 80 million lotto max jackpot in canada that the lottery person im supposed to hand it over too to get my prize will steal it. Does anyone else have this same worry? That the lotto agents you hand your ticket over to will steal it? Even if you sign it, the...

...keeping and making new friends. Especially when it comes out you won 250 million dollars. Some friends will try and exploit you. Some people will try and be your new friends, to exploit you. And finally, if you move into a gated community with 5 million+ dollar homes when the truth comes o...

You are a struggling middle-class person working in a factory, making just $40K a year at the factory in a small town. But suddenly you have now won the lottery! $800 Million! That is the good news. The bad news is that you bought the ticket in a US State that forces you to go public and atte...

You are young and gorgeous. You look like a movie star or fashion model! You have just won hundreds of millions in the Powerball Lottery. Now you are ultra-rich, young, and beautiful. (If you are old, fat, and plain looking, would you still get fancy clothes?) You now have almost unlimited f...

I think with everything that’s going on, if I win, especially an unfathomable amount like hundreds of millions, I would definitely use 50% for good. Not necessarily charity as much as creating different systems companies and other things that can make something good and useful in the world - mayb...

In Australia, there’s this jackpot three times a week called ‘Weekday Windfall’. The top prize is $1 million AUD and there’s no tax on lottery in Australia, so you’d get the full amount. $1 million doesn’t go as far as it used to, so what would you do with it? I could buy a property, but not n...

Me personally I would be in Australia for the grand slam tennis after watching the ashes cricket. What would you be doing now rather than being at work?

If I won the lottery, I would be a really strong, but really chonky gym rat. And I could also do science and math. Probably chemistry and green chemistry. I would learn to cook, but still eat out, and still workout. I would be massively swole.

We already know what people‘s investments, big purchases, and dumb purchases would be. What would you treat yourself to regularly? I for one would probably replace my underwear and socks every three months lol. I love the feeling of fresh underwear and socks. I would constantly be wearing new one...

Does anyone know if a winner has to pay NYC tax on annuity payments even if they move out of the city? I know that you have to pay state taxes even if you move, but I can't find a clear answer on if NYC taxes follow also.

Have any of you ever won the SuperLotto 2nd chance? If so, how were you notified & how much did you win?

I don't have to win the $1.8 billion lottery to be happy. But, I would want to clear $100 million. I would start a few businesses that would help pay me in the long run. I would like a Brazilian steak house, a Dave and Busters-like bowling alley, an international buffet, and a tiny cabin rent...

I'm guess it's going to take between eight and nine weeks for the jackpot to rise enough so I can give a decent amount to my family and keep a good chunk of change for myself.

I have no major debt right now except normal monthly credit card debt for groceries, gas, and paying bills automatically. I just pay that off monthly. That aside, I’d first-off plan to resign my IT career once and for all and step away from that increasingly messy and unsatisfying tech world. ...

Was thinking about this today. I play Powerball when its big and I know realistically it’s just for fun. The odds are sht, but I like the dream part of it. There are also apps that give free entries for smaller prizes (I assume they make money from ads), and then stuff like scratch-offs where yo...

Tonight is the EuroMillions draw for €17,000,000 (tax-free). While everyone is chasing massive mega-jackpots, I’ve already planned my life with this entry-level win. I’d move straight to the South West of France. Imagine a wooden villa right on the Arcachon Bay or by the lake in Hossegor/Capbret...

If you win a progressive jackpot that increases every time it doesn’t hit, do you get the last batch of sales as well? For example PB is at 45 mil. If you hit it tonight do you win 45 mil before cash value & taxes or do you win something closer to 55 mil because it includes ticket sales since...
