Kelsey Zachow bought the ticket on Friday the 13th last month, but didn't even know she had the winning slip until 11 days later. The mom of a 7-month-old, Zachow will take home $27 million in the lump sum payment after taxes, and plans to quit her jobs.

I’d add a third professional to financial planner and accountant, too - get a good lawyer to help you get things set up the way you want or need them.
Unfortunately bump.
See my 37. People have been creating LLCs and Trusts to collect winnings for years. Look up past winners of megabucks or powerball, and you will see that a good portion of them do not have anything other than the name of the trust/LLC and if there is a picture it’s of the lawyer/agent collecting the symbolic check.
I'd bet it's practically a requirement that winners participate in the publicity because that's advertising to sell more lottery tickets in the future.
She’s pretty cute!

Not always the best of decisions when one is the beneficiary of the lottery.
vtinx or vwinx or 50/50 each and kick back
I think it would fit for a lottery winner;
10. You never know when it will strike but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
Probably immediately after clocking in, is my guess.
So she can win 66mil.
2 jobs, its her money,not like she bought a dollar ticket with an EBT card.
How do you know she has one?
hey- don’t talk about my future wife like that...
Saw a show once about a guy who won a big lottery and did things right. He took the lump sum and hired financial planners to help him invest most of it. After everything was said and done, including blowing a few million for fun, he arrived at the point where after taxes he was earning $3000 a day for the rest of his life. That was his rule: Don’t spend more than $3000 a day.
Think about that- every day you wake up with $3000 added to your bank account. Any you have left over at the end of the day is added to tomorrow’s $3000 and it never stops.
I think I could live like that.
"Her beau of three years has been unemployed for nearly a year."

I would demand spiritual counseling/direction ...
It’s called present value. There is even a function in excel to calculate it.
Have never seen that in PA. Even in cases where ten co-workers go in together on a Powerball ticket the state holds a press conference with all ten.
I’ve always had the thought that I would notify my employer that “my circumstances have changed and I’d prefer to stay on as a ‘contract staffing employee’ for the short term to assist in any transition efforts”.
Slow transition is better than telling your boss (i) to pound sand, (ii) to piss up a rope and (iii) your wife is lousy in bed.
Yes! LOL
