If I were Filthy Rich
By floridaman2025+42 A Solution to the family problem
Hear me out,
Low ball what you actually won.
Let’s say you have two parents and two siblings. Tell them your payout was 11 millions and 300k(some specific number) and you’re sharing 8 m with them, and that you have save the rest to live of interest and have just enough for retirement. Once the word is out from your family(it will), other people will know you won just enough to explain your new life but not enough to hand out money to them.

This is called a gift tax exclusion. The Lifetime limit: currently, if you gift out anything beyond $14M over your lifetime, you have to give Uncle Sam $40 for every $100 you gift.
