I have thought a lot about what I'd do if I won the Powerball. I would obviously take my family out of poverty, but ALSO: 1)I would start non-profits to distribute farm surplus as well as retail and food chain waste to food distribution centers in food deserts and areas affected by generatio...

I'm curious about everyone else's attitudes about how to share money with siblings with and without families. I started my family later in life, so I always felt like I held a lesser place in the family. If we went away as a family, I had to share a room with some of the kids. I wasn'...

So, yes, I have put probably an inappropriate amount of time into planning to win the lottery. I'm looking for ideas for one of my many, many possible plans. It would be great if I could keep my win a secret. Is there any way I could share the wealth with family without them figuring out th...

Normally the payout would have been $100, but it was a roll down, so I won $555! My dog needs a life saving surgery that the insurance company is refusing to pay for (I’m in a lawsuit over it), but this will go towards saving my little guy!

Got my friend and b day gift 🎁, some new clothes, and a few more tickets. Nothing fancy. Literally bulk Costco undergarments.

Instead of going straight to the big purchases, I’d take a few weeks to think. First step would be hiring a lawyer, a financial advisor, and a tax expert, all separate and fully vetted. Then I’d probably set up a trust to claim the prize and protect my privacy. I’d invest most of it conservativel...

Wife is gone, parents gone, in-laws gone, no kids or siblings. If/when I win I'll be taking care of the family that I have left that I care about and maybe a few friends. If anyone tries to pressure me for more then I"ll still have enough to vanish and live a comfortable life for the nex...

My family consist of opportunists…so, it’s better to keep everything hush hush and operate under their noses. It helps that I live a good distance away from them.

Being 20 my list is slightly more juvenile , very gen z but id like to chime in anyways since i see it often...I already have a proper list but its in a document... so this'll just be what i purchase after everythings settled and not my entire planner. Definitely stock up on fresh gaming ge...

I selected the 30 year annuity on my ticket. So payments increase each year. First year, buy a car with a 5 year loan. Pay it off in 3. Buy a modest house with a 15 year mortgage. Pay it off in 4. Set aside 15% of what the lottery pays to cover the remaining federal income tax and interest on sav...

Used to be a rider. Not anymore as life demands to not horse around (pun intended) and work as a slave picking up scraps (quite literally what I’m doing now). I like horses and they can be therapeutic. Always been a thought to ride out in the open field on a horse and gallop away. I’d have maybe ...

Let's say "when", see what I did there :) I win a jackpot but win it in a different state. My question is will I need a trust and estates lawyer based in that winning state or can I use one I know of in my home state to represent me there.

I would want to hold my wealth in my hand like a king or emperor of the olden days. And see for myself my own wealth. I would hold onto this forever. The 10 oz pieces would hold special significance It would remind me of what my yearly salary was when I worked minimum wage. What i would...

So it looks like the payout option would be 132,000,000. After let’s say 40% tax rough estimate that would be 79 79ish million. I would keep 19 million as just do what I want and not worry about it cash. That leaves 60 million for a money management firm to do their thing with and I can jus...

Everyone here has dreams of winning. If you won what is your plan? Do you already have an attorney that you'd like to use? Who would you tell? Where would you keep your ticket safe until you claimed it? Would you move to a new city or state? Would you keep working? Maybe set up charity? Would...

NYS lottery. Felt fuckin awesome as that amount of money is kind of a lot to me other then how fucking shitty inflation and the economy is but I don’t have shit really towards the end of every month. Apparently only 66 other people in The state of New York won and I was 1 of 3 thousand something ...

Since someone won the PB last night and now it's at 20 million but the MM is at 202 who is going to buying a mega million ticket?

Anyone here prayed to GOD and won a big prize or know anyone that prayed and won? Why was GOD listening that time?

I have a community pool of friends, family and former co-workers that I adore and did not want to lose touch with; we pool together money and play for the sole purpose of good vibes small prize…We win between powerball and mega millions small prizes each week or every month other week with the nu...

As I plan to win: Everyone in this subreddit has £3,800 as a budget. Post what you would like bought, or the charity you would like gifted the money - and when I hit tonight you will get it. By entering, if you win, by some miracle as I intend to win. you have to buy me a 2014 Hyundai i30 with ...

Scratch-offs are usually my thing, you know? Thought maybe the lottery gods would appreciate my loyalty. Spoiler? They did not. Just years of sad cardboard and glittery disappointment. One day I was like, you know what, let me lose in HD for once. Gave online a shot. Ended up on Smart Winners...

Not too long ago, someone posted or commented on getting two quick pick tickets with the same number. I imagine that is very rare. Frankly, they should have a designated jackpot for when that happens, lol! I know that two tickets with the same numbers split the jackpot in mega millions and pow...

I'm not looking to actually find anyone or contact winners or anything like that. In Washington state, you can't remain anonymous, but if I look up winner's names, it only says people's first name and last initial, but if you win you should protect your identity from being found o...

If so, do you know if said person won the jackpot on their first shot, or if they were an avid player who plays religiously (daily or weekly)? Also, do you know of anyone who has won the jackpot more than once?

I’m sad to say unfortunately this did just happen to me. I (20F) found out yesterday that a few weeks ago (on the one week I didn’t play the lottery), my millionaire maker number was drawn and I would’ve won £1 million. I am struggling to forgive myself and don’t possibly know how to move on from...
