You don’t need Saul to handle legitimate money. You call him when you need to launder your ill gotten gains.

Sounds good... since I’m in Alabama, somebody please go buy me a ticket with the numbers 19, 21, 27, 55, 57... red ball 12. I’m good for the $2 if I win.

After the draw date? Having never had to deal with that issue, I have wondered about that. Must be how those people that do a pool do it. Don’t think the lottery commission will deal with more than one claimant.

I'd buy hookers and drugs.

No wait, not that.

I'd buy guns and bodyguards.

No, wait.

I'd buy actors and set-creators to live out my own Fallout 4 in real life.

THAT ONE.

You can give gifts annually up to $14,000.00 tax free. Since that wouldn’t touch this payout even if you gave $14K a year to 20 family members, you would want to do some estate planning to minimize your estate taxes.

Then MOVE first you dim whit!

Unfortunately, it has to be claimed in the state where the ticket was purchased. If you were a resident of the state at the time it was purchased, it doesn't matter if you moved prior to claiming.

It would be much less than $350 million after taxes if you took it all in a lump sum.

Them hookers would not be the usual toothless wonder that lives in the fourth trailer on the right.
No sir... these classy hookers. They smell good, wear matching drawers.
