Exactly. Five million sends your kids to college and pads a nice retirement but isn't so obscenely much that you'd go broke buying everyone you know a home. You could be low-key about it.
$500 million and you'd have to disappear, fall off the face of the earth. The meritless lawsuits alone would be relentless. "She promised to split it 50/50..." "He's my baby daddy!"
if i ever win a big lottery i am hiring people to pretend to be me. ( like if I had to appear on tv holding the check, ect) Let them handle the bs and i can just go on my merry way.
If everyone knows you won 500 million you did it wrong. It’s not difficult to make it fairly anonymous.
