If I were Filthy Rich
By revanchist70
+42 I'm a widower in my 50's with no kids, I really don't care about really growing my wealth if I win.

I could get 0% interest and never deplete the funds if the jackpot is big enough. Heck each million will get you 40k a year before taxes so even the bare minimum of the US national jackpots will give you 200k a year at that rate with money left over to set you up the first year until the returns start rolling in. With no need to create generational wealth I'd could park the money in something super safe and boring and dip into the principle with something major comes up.

+20 @skw4ll Or double without wealth every 7 years by investing in the S&P 500, if I win the lottery I invest in assets that pay me dividends for life as long as I beat inflation and my performance is at 5 -6%/year. The goal is to be free, not to be Elon Musk.
