I feel like I'd have a heart attack if I won a lottery that big.

[QUOTE=Sgt. Khorn;49526955]I feel like I'd have a heart attack if I won a lottery that big.[/QUOTE] I'd have a heart attack just getting a Milly, to be fair

what would you even do with that much money? realistically, itd be nothing but trouble. if it was a $500,000 or even $1 million jackpot, you could at least reasonably spend it/invest it/pay off debts/etc. with incredible money like that, tons of family members and friends would start crawling out of the woodwork. everyone's attitudes towards you would change, and any hope of you living a normal life goes right out the window. you're also now a big target for scammers, especially if you choose to go public. how could you possibly hide your identity amongst the powerball craze? of course, this all assumes you'd want a normal generic satisfactory life in the first place. maybe some people whod rather overdose to shit on cocaine and party until their heart stops wouldn't care so much.

Can you ask to stay anonymous?

Most of them suggest to remain Anonymous and claim it anonymously or through more private means. In states where you are required to give your name and take a picture, grow a beard, wear sunglasses, anything to make you more unidentifiable and (on the big fancy check) have your name displayed with initials. The most important thing to do is to not tell anyone, change your phone numbers, and maybe even go on vacation somewhere for a month or two.

So if you somehow manage to blow everything else on hookers and blow, you'll still be drinking champagne from the taps.

[QUOTE=ballads;49527084]yeah I realized that too :|[/QUOTE] "The world is my toilet" and they have guys giving out his phone number, I hope this guy isn't dead within the month.

i mean good for him, ideally he'll get a very skilled financial consultant/lawyer/bodyguard team to help him sort out whatever problems he might currently have. i'm willing to bet this guy ends up in the news <5 years from now either dead or blew most of his winnings, however. i'd like to hope he goes on to live a good life though

Wellp, with the last two drawings, that's $40 I'll never see again. :/ It sucks too, because on this set of 10 I got tons of duplicate powerball numbers (three 17s and 2 2s).

[QUOTE=No Party Hats;49527101]Ye, you end up losing a dickton of munny going for cash[/QUOTE] you end up losing a shitton going for annuity too, though?

[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;49527130]you end up losing a shitton going for annuity too, though?[/QUOTE] depends on state in florida is worth it to go that route than doing it in lump sum

[QUOTE=ballads;49527106]I hate it when people do this shit because they didn't win.[/QUOTE] jealousy's never to be underestimated.

The 7-11 where the dude bought the ticket is where I would get cashback because I always go to the barber shop right across the street. I keep forgetting the bring cash whenever I needed a haircut.

[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;49527130]you end up losing a shitton going for annuity too, though?[/QUOTE] Way less than if you go for a lump sum. Set it up so your kids carry on the earnings and so forth. If you blow over 30 mill yearly you probably shouldn't be allowed to have a bill anyway lol

nevermind he's skateboard satan [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/x9iqUU2.png[/IMG]

This guys the limit Fuckin [I]excellent[/I], not even mad.

Isn't it a bit risky to wave around with that much money? I would keep it a low profile until all is set in, at least I would try to.

Guys, I didn't win? What the heck?

[QUOTE=Mitsuma;49527165]Isn't it a bit risky to wave around with that much money?

Maybe he just doesn't care about the repercussions and wants to tell the whole world he won.
