When I win the Power Ball (note: I said "WHEN" not "IF") , I intend to first take care of kids and grandkids colleges, charity, then blow the rest on me.
From what I have read, sharing, even with family only causes resentment. If you buy someone a house, they think you could have done better or bigger.
Nobody won the powerball last night and now it is up to $170 million ($92 million for cash value).

I would hire a lawyer to claim the money and not disclose my identity, and donate anonymously.

When I win the lotto, I will have nothing in common with anyone I know.

The naked greed of these leeches looking to suck off of this man's good fortune just doesn't cease to amaze me.
I'm ashamed to think of them as 'Americans'. Freakin' pitiful.

They always say the first thing you should do if you win the lottery, before even turning in the ticket, is get a new unlisted phone number, find somewhere to stay away from your home for a while (weeks if at all possible), and hire an assistant to start screening your incoming mail, because thousands upon thousands of people will start hitting you up for money within hours of your name getting out. A lot of financial planners even recommend freezing out your extended family temporarily, because they'll be the first ones knocking at your door.
And for the love of God, don't be stupid enough to announce on national television that you intend to give any of it away, even if you truly intend to do so.

Is this the guy who got ripped off at the strip joint? No wonder he's getting letters. He's a mark.

His being found out at the strip clubs didn't help. Especially with the other members of his church! But he was just there spreading it around, to the down and out.
This is the same guy whose donation to the Salvation Army was refused.

Nearly everyone who wins the lottery has no clue what that kind of wealth means. Once one enters the realm of super wealth, the assests should no longer be considered money because it is now a business. Most people cannot handle that kind of responsibility all at once.

I'd just say something like, "F- the poor. I'm buying an Island in the South Pacific with women and booze and guns. C-ya losers."

I don't play. I don't want to win. I only want what I earn. This man has put his family at risk out of greed and pride. He can't undo it but perhaps if he really did give away the money it might decrease the risk.

This guy's got enough money to disappear. Which is exactly what I would do if I won. The guy where I buy my tickets always says (rather than asks), "So, you want the cash option, right? So you can pay off the old lady and get outta town?"
