If I win, I will buy a mansion and a yacht.
If I win I will cure world hunger.
I’d take that chance.
If I win, the Nation wins
Selected political and charitable organizations.
But at least I’ll screw up my life in style.
That’s a lot of Ramen noodles and Beanie Weenies.
We do an office pool each week when the take is over 75 mil. 20-30 players most weeks.
Barely enough to retire on!
I got zero numbers does that win anything?
If a Freeper wins, please donate to FR so they can end the fundraisers for good.
If i win il put an end to those freepathons
Ill spend most of it on booze, horses, and women.
The rest of it Ill probably just waste.
Two chicks at once.
What? I’d only get 494 million of it? That tears it - I won’t buy a ticket then!!!!
The jackpots have never been this high... its proof of global warming.
274 million * 4% diversified dividend and bond stream = $11m/year and growing to live off without ever toughing principal. Yeah, I could make that work I think.
I get tired thinking of managing that kind of wealth, not to mention protecting oneself from all the creeps who’ll be interested in getting their hands on some of it.
I’m not sure what I’d do if I won. Maybe have someone (or a team) come in and clean the house, do the laundry and do some yard work. That would be nice.
I’d probably keep working......LOL!
WHEN I win! I will be able to pay the minimums on ALL my credits cards each month, instead of picking and choosing who gets paid this month
The best thing a winner can do is stay anonymous, financial adviser and CPA Kurt Panouses, who helped a Florida couple that won a portion of the largest jackpot ever, said.
“The initial concern of the ticket is probably the most important part of the planning aspect,” Panouses said. “What the individual should do is protect the ticket, keep it safe, put it in a safe place, but do not sign the back of the ticket.”
“Whoever signs the back of the ticket is the individual that has to claim the ticket and the proceeds,” Panouses explained.
Panouses also suggested making a copy of the ticket and getting a tax professional and an attorney to help manage the funds and offer investment advice.
A little dated but the article has good pointers just in case you win.
