Winning: Reality -vs- fantasy
Hello, I am a first time poster here...but have been looking at this site off and on for a week or two now.Thanks to the anonymous nature of the internet..I have to confess something. It's slighlty embarrasing:I feel like I am actually going to win the powerball drawing. I just started buying tickets for about one and a half months. no more than 3 dollars at a time per bi-weekly drawing.

so you've just won the lotteryReply
1. Would you tell anyone you just hit it big?If I won a huge amount that would put me in the papers and news, I would do the anonymous trust.

I don't want to get questions and begging until I'm ready. 2. What bank would you pic

possible to form a lottery club in mass?Reply

So you can't legally go the anonymous trust fund route.Second, only one person can claim the prize if you win. This doesn't mean only one person can own the ticket, just th

Still the way I would go2) Speaking only for myself I would not. It just doesn't make

For some lottery winners jackpot is a 'nightmare'Reply
I have always thought what I would do if I won. I think a lot of people assume that if they win the lottery that all their troubles are over. Not true. Winning the lottery should secure your financial future for retirement and a comfortable living. Pay a few bills and invest the rest. I know a couple that won $25,000.00 on a $2 scratch off. Within a few weeks, both were broke (from buying even more scratch offs and one was dead within 6 months. So winning is not always a good thing. If I
