    What to do if you won.
    1. Don't tell anyone!
    2. Wait until the last minute of ticket validity deadline so the hype dies down. You don't want every media company knocking on your door to expose you as the winner.
    3. Be as anonymous as possible if you are the winner.
    4. Once you get the check. Hookers and cocaine.

    It is nice to hear lottery advice from a real financial advisor. I already knew from common sense that we should delay big decisions on what to do after we win the money, because that can make you go from fixed to broke again in one day. January 18, 2024, 6:34am

    Best to invest and live off the earnings. Most people who get rich quickly seem to lose it quickly. However, it seems like winning this much money would be both a blessing and a curse. I can imagine how many people, especially friends and family would be jealous and start to hate the winner, at no fault of the winner.

    change your name (preferably before you collect), takes a couple weeks and several hundred dollars, but nobody will know you got the money. I suggest John or Mary Smith. You do have to place a small ad in the newsaper about the name change (along with a court appearance and a few other details), but how many John Smiths are out there? You're good to go. If you want to help people bigly like buying homes, buy then lease, never give anything away. High-quality cylindrical NBC bunker with grow ops, other items you can imagine. Good to go.

    First rule: Shut the $&@! Up!
    Second: lawyer(s), CPA’s Account managers.
    Third;Live off the interest.
    Donations will kill you. Church’s, family, foundations w/e. If you choose to do so, donate AFTER you have established financial placement. Donate with your Interest, which will be budget. NEVER give money to people who already DONT KNOW how to MANAGE money!
    The poor spend, the middle class saves and the rich invest!
    Giving money to BROKE people will KILL them or ruin their lives.
    Move to a state with less taxes.
