Sounds like it will be gone before he’s 25
HEY over here, i AM A HUMAN!!!
If he’s smart and gets good advice, he will put the money in a trust for 5 years and not allow himself to touch a cent, except perhaps for education.
Put the bulk Treasury ladders and muni bond funds, along with some in a stock index fund. Divide it among several brokerages and mutual fund comapnies.
I’m going down and stalk him till he gives me a million to go away.
And consult a tax attorney and an accountant.
My thoughts too. We should up a contest to guess when the money will be gone.
I truly hope he does some good with his wealth and has a happy life.
Why do you say that?
He actually did the smartest thing you can do winning such a massive jackpot. He immediately hired an attorney.
I'd say he'll do just fine.
That he came forward this rapidly to claim the ticket shows he is unadvised.
Not that I would turn down such a jackpot, but I sometimes wonder if it would be simpler on life to win one of the smaller jackpots, say $10M.
He can store a large chunk of the cash in my safe deposit box. That’ll save him about $85/yr.
One word: crytocurrency
I’m thinking cars, dope, and hookers. Lots of hookers.
To watch elected governments in our Republic use the numbers racket to pay people to to riot is sickening and decadent. It is a tax on the ignorant poor and for that,I am at least, grateful they pay something. They receive so much that is not theirs.
I pray God gives him wisdom on how to best help people.
Otherwise he’ll donate the entire sum to climate change activists or something.
Lucky dude. Surround yourself with good/honest people or you will be bankrupt in 5 years.
20 yrs old..
Pot Futures!
And you have needs,lots of needs.
He will be getting lots of calls like that in the future.
Best of luck to the young man.
