I know that upon winning we should have financial advisors and a trust lawyer. I think the financial adviser will make investments so that the money makes more money right? Will you invest in rentals? Buy stocks or crypto? What are some other ways to keep money coming in? I would like to not have...

Like, the actual lottery winner? Who shows and talks about what they do, how they do it, living life after going from relatively normal to a life of multi millions plus (we're talking a massive Powerball jackpot win here). No, I don't want the usual youtube channels like Timothy Schulz be...

If you ever daydream about winning the lottery, what’s the first thing you’d actually do the moment you find out? I buy most of my entries online through Lottoland because it’s quick, and sometimes I imagine what I’d do if a notification actually popped up saying I hit something huge. Everyone ta...

I would love to go see the Great Barrier Reef Australia New Zealand Germany Oktoberfest Ireland kiss the Blarney Stone the UK get some fish and chips France and Spain. The places that I would never go are probably the Middle East China and Russia and North Korea. Every place else though I definit...

If anyone has experience or knowledge, let's say you win a jackpot. If you won on day 1, and you set up a trust, hire a lawyer, accountant and all the different people. Then you go claim prize and see the money in bank account (obviously a new different bracket), how fast would all that happ...

Here in Brazil you need to a go to a CAIXA bank branch (the name literally means "box") and speak to the manager to start the process. The money is deposited into the account within a maximum of 5 business days, but it usually takes less than 48 hours. Anonymity is guaranteed by law. No...

There have been countless Lottery Powerball winners during the last ten years. What happened to them? The media is full of stories of Lottery Powerball Winners who squandered all their money, gave it all away, or got in trouble with the law. Aren't there any really successful winners who d...

Would you claim the ticket right away or take your time so that you aren't taxed in 2025 and instead claim the taxes on your 2026 returns so you can plan for as many tax breaks as possible?

So, horses are a pretty expensive luxury that I’d want to make more accessible to people. Horses are generally kept in little 12x12ft-15x15ft stalls with limited time outside to socialize, move, and play. It’s like keeping a dog in a crate most of their life and only taking them out for short wal...

I think I might buy a radio station and just play all my favorite songs. No ads, no annoying DJs, nothing but the best music playing all day and all night.

Daydreaming, and I thought of the varying amounts of money and what each level of significant win would provide me. Before taxes, any win that isn't atleast 50k, amounts to a portion of debt paid, maybe some new clothes, a couple nice dinners, and maybe a few days in a big city. But 50k, be...

If I win, I think it would be nice to have my private lake, but I don't actually know anything about it. Would it be a good idea or more trouble than it's worth?

Anyone considering the annuity option for Cash for Life games? It’s either $365,000/yr or $3.5mil after taxes where I live. I’m worried about the AI bubble in the market so was considering annuity might be a better option.

In Ontario, there a person who just won the Blue Jays foundation 50/50 raffle prize. Worth about $25 million dollars in total winning. Like imagine being him right now, where you get a phone called that you won the $25 million dollar raffle. How do you handle all the sudden news. Unfortunately...

I think I would get two houses. I would like to be able to spend summer all year long in each location. What I mean by that is staying in one location for the summertime and then when it becomes winter there go to my other house and spend summer there and alternating back and forth. I wouldn'...

So we all know tell nobody, BUT some professionals will know. A financial advisor would be smart, you need a lawyer to draft/update your will… how do you make sure you don’t get ripped off or the target of some crime?

Does anyone have a list of companies? I do know that JP Morgan is the biggest one, but paying a 1-2% fee on AUM is outrageous.

Probably like many others here, it's a pastime of mine to daydream about the minutia and details associated with winning, and not just the vision of the awesome things I'd do with an eight- or nine-figure influx of cash. With that in mind, I've been wondering what, how and when I sho...

Of course I’ve seen the many “screw em” type responses to most family related questions on this sub, but I still have a thought… After winning MM, which is clearly enough right now to give your whole family generational wealth, how would you handle siblings who are very different? One has a fa...

One of my daydreams about what I would do if I win the big prize is to just buy a new house wherever I decide i want to live and just abandon my current home. Leave it as is. I would take pictures and anything else of sentimental value but the dishes, furniture, washer and dryer I wouldn't ...

You just won 500 Million Dollars in the Powerball Lottery! (After taxes, lump sum) BUT, everything you know is connected to the small town of 3000 residents in the middle of Nebraska. You have lived there your entire life. You have a very close extended family of nearly 50 people who live near...

No mega winning, just $5m which is too poor to be rich figure. Mathematically you can only withdraw $200k a year (4% rule). What will you do with the winning money? Will you quit your job? Will you buy an expensive a million $ home? Slow travel the world ? It seems everyone is envisioning ...

Let’s say you take home $100 million after taxes. Mine would be a trip to Epic Universe in Orlando. I’ve wanted to go since they opened, so I would do a longer trip with multiple park days and express passes. Probably throw in some time at Disney just because? But it feels like a nice way to eas...

I bought 3 quickpicks for the PB lottery tonight, and all three have the same powerball number. If I win the jackpot, it would mean I hit the powerball number on all three lines, the two non-jackpot lines being at least $4 each. Will they still pay me my $4 for each of those other two lines as ...

I know lots of people that play have an idea for what they would do with a jackpot win, but what about just matching 5 numbers and not the powerball? What would be your plan for winning $1m?
