Get a lawyer, finacial advisor, personal security.3. Live out of a hotel those 2 weeks and atleast a month after you win.4.

California lottery struggles with tepid salesReply
The California Lottery needs to be revamped because having a STR number in most would pay $500, STR/BX $250 and so on, that is not the case, it fluctuates which make people not want to play because of fear of having to turn it in for taxes. The system here gives people no incentive to play. I for one, spend a lot of money on this system and I am ready to give up because, as someone said earlier, the payback is terrible. I have personally talk to some of Cal Lottery employees and they have a f

Online lotteries in BrazilReply
I wouldn't advise playing third world lotteries whose language you don't understand, who's security, currency and banking is questionable, you might as well reply to those Nigerian scam letters. No offense to my friends in Brazil, but China just had a big lottery scandle and they regulate everything, Brazil - half the spam I recieve comes from there like a river of crime.At first those 25/50 and 50/99 games sound real interesting and easy to win, but you'll soon find them not only just as hard o

Can people still know that you won....
....even after you form a trust ???What if the trust is formed to claim a prize, but the IRS calls family members and relatives by mistake because they have the same last name. One time the bank got my father and my names confused because of name similarities (I am named after my father). Could that happen again???? Yeah I know that the social security numbers are always different, but human error is possible. What if you form the trust, and you spend money on a new car? Wouldn't people get

do u think u'd survive winning?Reply
*Smirk* I gave it alot of thought if I ever won it big... that I'd continue what I'm doing except in a grander scale ... milk the fame for all its 15 minutes worth ... and walk with some extra money in my pockets :)... as I know that it's already difficult for most 'normal' people to talk to goths anyway (especially one that would probably crossdress more often to make sure), my physical appearance would continue to be a semi-protection from some unscrupulous people in person... ... and in envir

quick pick is betterReply
Since I just play Powerball, I let the machine pick 3 sets of numbers for my Quick-Pick, and I choose the other two numbers, which by the way, I play faithfully. So, I just play $5.00 -- $10.00 because I always play Power Play. Why? Suppose I do not hit Powerball, but I hit the other numbers, I have multiplied my winnings. Last September, I had 3 of the numbers, including Powerball which was $100.00, but since I played Power Play (and the number was 5), I won $500.00.Although the Quick-Pick

Can You Remain a Virtual Unknown?Reply
I know im a bit paranoid but here is my plan. Before i turned the ticket in i would gain 20-25lbs, dye my hair and other various things. I would also buy a ticket for the next drawing using the same numbers that i won with for security reasons. My girlfriend lives in england so i would spend the following six months living there. Upon returning i would spend a month or so in canada and then return to england for another six months. Hopefully by a years time my name would be forgotten, i have
