    1-8 are at the article. Actually, sound advice! 
I won't forget any of you (well, maybe a few...) after the drawing, tonight and of COURSE some of my winnings will got straight to Jim Robinson and Free Republic! 
Best of Luck to ALL FReepers playing! :)

    Before telling family members, hire some body guards to keep family members away.

    First thing I would do is invest it with that Nigerian general’s son who contacted me on the internet.

    I’m not telling ANYONE if we win.
Beau says if we have the Winning Ticket, first thing? He’ll buy me a nicer set of luggage to use while I move to my PRIVATE ISLAND!

    Good advice. I do not even know if I would tell my spouse, I would be afraid he would leave. Certainly would hang onto the ticket as long possible. How in the world does one find those professionals that can be trusted?

    My friend, who also bought a ticket, said, ‘Meh. Some DOUCHE in Jersey or PA is going to win it all and will be broke and dead within the year.’
It could happen. A LOT of Lottery Winners make very poor choices AND a lot of them end up with short lifespans, LOL!

With $1.6 billion it's more of a question of who to do.

    That’s why I buy two tickets, one each for me and the missus. I expect that the winning ticket will be mine.

    I disagree with the couselor bit, because the more people you tell, the more likely that the secret will get out.
Just take long vacation and do nothing while you absorb your good fortune. That’s what I recommend.

    Tell you what...if you win, or I win, we’ll dump those losers and go on a Thelma & Louise Tour - but with a MUCH Happier Ending! ;)

    Another freeper posted about the guy that won the $100 million dollar lottery awhile ago, and told his wife to pack.
“Should I pack for the mountains or the beach?”
“I don’t care. Just pack up and get out of here!”

    I don’t think I would tell my family at all.
We’d just quietly pay off our bills and have a new house built. Certainly nothing extreme or extravagant.
