Good choice.

Gives me an idea of something to do if I won 50 million (or even the $16m to $22m from either of the next two drawings)... buy a keg of Shiner Bock and invite some friends over for a barbque, haha. I think I'd have to get one of Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse as well though, have grown into more of a wheat beer drinker, but still enjoy some Shiner.

If anybody has personal knowledge of a financial adviser with an excellent record of handling multi-million dollar portfolios, it's only because they handle their accounts.

Win first, worry about it later. Besides, I only play Fantasy 5, the one with much lower jackpot but with much higher odd of winning. Fantasy 5 jackpot ranges from 50K to 200K. I don't think I am going to be too concerned about hiring financial adviser for 200K. I would just tell the amount to my CPA for taxes, save the money in a saving account and be done with it.

Like whether you would want to trust a financial adviser to handle all your money. What if he steals your money and disappears? How do you keep it secret from everybody but your most trusted people. How do you prepare yourself from possible constant harassment if ever the news is leaked
