was wondering the same thing, i mean if we (my family and i) are insured for a hefty amount of money which i have from the winnings , and what put me in the situation, will collecting more money bring back the dead , ? i dont think so,,,,,i can only suggest that as soon as you know that you won the lottery, start getting your name changed, and the same day you collect your winnings move some place far away and dont flash it around, only way to be safe,, oh and get my forth cousins

You can get your money anonymously and that is the best way..Like the poster before me said,you do not tell anyone if you move to a new place..Your friends and the people around you will change...

I wouldn't publicize the winning in the new place I moved to.

Move to a place where no one knows you.

From the book:

Such a policy provides the money to pay the ransom in a kidnapping, extortion, or ransom case.

Make sure you obtain a 'numbered policy', that is a policy without your name appearing on it anywhere.

The vast majority of kidnap victims are killed by their kidnappers. Exactly what would a kidnap and ransom policy do to help you out

Consider what perils you would encounter if word got out that you had cracked the lotto and won almost all the time. Think about what some low life would be willing to do to you to get their hands on such a system.

Therefore, another reason to keep your system a secret.

The book Infinite Financial Freedom, What to Do Before and After You Hit thre Lottery - by Rob Sanford, actually suggests jackpot winners take out a Kidnap Ransom policy.

(There's other posts about that book in these forums.

I didnt answer the poll.

Instead its contigent on the amount of large winnings, the way its publicized, and how well I can change incognito.

I certainly dont beleive in drawing attention to ones self, no matter what the billfold contains.

My family is worthy of protection though if it did come down to it.

Interesting poll and opinions

Kidnapping, held on ransom, and mobs of people begging for money are some good reasons. Its not the money in your pocket people they are after, they want the money in your bank account.

What reason would you need one?? It's not like you would be carrying around millions of $$$'s in your pocket as cash

Rick, cmon...Da bears just had a bad day.

Happens to the best of them sometimes.( see 1985 Chicago vs. Miami..)

However, this is the reason I do not bet on football any more.

Who in their right mind had Miami ?

Or Detroit over the ATL ?

Does anyone know how much does a bodyguard cost? I'm thinking around $50-$75 grand....

I didn't vote because I wouldn't need a bodyguard to protect my $290, but I liked this answer.

No. I do not need bodyguards. I am not a flashy person. You would have to win a very large jackpot to need bodyguards. They are not cheap to maintain that level of protection all the time.-weshar75
