If I won the lottery...

I would move the funds to an offshore account on say...the island of Nevius...invest the money in stable emerging market debt getting a slightly better return.

I would order up one Debit card for the account and not pay a single dime in taxes...

By the way...you could withdraw 66k a year from 3 million and it would last you 45.45 years to consume...

My lottery fantasy, and I do have $1 "invested" in tonight's drawing, involve claiming the prize.

How to do it with anonymously and avoiding the most taxes. Then investing the settlement to avoid the most taxes.

I'd want my lawyer to have some Helen Thomas lookalike to be the "face" to claim it. That sure would insure less media scrutiny.

A media statement denouncing the evils of gambling and lotteries would be nice too.

That fantasy is worth $1 every now and then but not twice a week. I fall in the camp of playing $1 when it gets to $150M or so.
