Job question: After winning a $100 Million jackpot, you would...Reply
Justxploring I think if you continue to work it would have to be doing something you really enjoy. I mean, George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg didn't stop directing just because they became millionaires. Jay Leno and David Letterman each make about $30 million a year and continue to work. Judge Judy makes about $29 million. What about Oprah Winfrey? Bob Barker just retired after 50 years of being the most popular game show host in history. (at least I think so!) Most of these celebriti

a poll about annuities and lump sumReply
thanks Rickg for your kind words Everyone there are a more than a few ways to skin the cat so to speak. if you accept the annuity you must remember.

I actually feel the better approach is to look at the chances as opposed to probability Perspective and semantics can turn it into a very long discussion, but they're (extremely close to) the same thing. Since the probability advantage of playing all of your chances on a single drawing is extremely small when the number of chances is extremely small relative to the possible combinations let's ignore it for a moment. Suppose you have the option to buy seven $1 tickets for a game with 70 mill

Tax Avoidance on Big Win - IRA, Multi-Split?
Wondered from time to time, the best way to keep the IRS out of a big hit, if ever so lucky. Common instruction tells you to sign the ticket, immediately... thus, setting you up solely for all the taxes. Rather, wouldn't it be better to see an attorney, pronto, prior to signing? Perhaps one who specializes in preserving family wealth? Would it not be better to have some group set up to split the ticket taxes - be it a family corporation, whatever? Having them on the win-front side might
