Cash in and flee you lucky bastards.

Sell everything and go far, far away. You can go to Central America and buy yourselves a county or something.

Try a swiss bank account where they won’t even give you your name.

I'm outraged. If it's outrageous when a CEO makes $10 million even if he's moderately successful, since obviously no one deserves to earn 200 times what his average worker earns, it must be even more outrageous when someone makes $20 million simply for getting lucky.

Oh wait, nevermind, his $20 million has nothing to do with me so I couldn't care less how much he gets. Now if only people would mind their own business about executive salaries too...

216 million if in an annuity, meaning net present value about 120 million for a one-time payout, less 45% for state and local taxes leaves about 66 million, or roughly 7 million and change per player. Not bad.

WOW! Good news for Obama, there may be 7 job openings at Chubb. Well that’s if they don’t go under before time.

There once was a B.C. (or could have been a Wizard of Id)cartoon - the character is getting presented with his lottery winnings. The presenter says “Congratulations on winning the lottery-what are you going to do with the money?”
and the winner says “get out of this state”

Sage advice for NJ dwellers such as myself and these winners.

On the bright side, at least Comrade Obama’s tax plans have not set in yet, so these winners will have a little something left after becoming “wealthy”!
