You just won a huge lottery jackpot! Now what?Reply
Back in 2015 under Winners on Powerball Website There is a PDF you can view or download that shows a Anonymous winner or winners in Tennessee. I would love to know how the person or persons was able to set this up in Tennessee. If I ever won something like this, I would like to set up a trust to remain anonymous. Here was the winner(s) name. Avondale Revocable Trust Tennessee Nov. 4, 2015 Cash $144,100,000 annuity $89,795,622.27

Mega Millions lottery jackpot swells to $405 millionReply
I read about David Lee Edwards using the Search box. What I take away from all that is I will definitely talk with a Certified Financial Planner. I will get help making the choice of Annuity or Cash. I will start with www.financialengines.com Those CFPs are fiduciaries as well. I am planning on living on the earnings that my prize will get. I am thinking that when I win on Tuesday I will wait until the Wednesday before Thanksgiving to claim. My story will be buried with Holiday ne

Megamillions $303 millionReply
It puzzles me that people put so much planning and effort into something that probably isn't going to happen. If your wife tells you you have to do just one chore today and the rest can wait for as long as you want are you going to do the most difficult chore or the easiest chore. I'm guessing most will choose the easiest. And fantasizing about winning is a lot more fun than trying to win but losing over and over. Have you picked out the charity? In the real world most people have a

Mega Millions Tuesday 7/17/2018Reply
Coin Toss: We are bored and have nothing else to do. LOL. The balls have no senses. They do not feel, see, taste, hear, think so the rollovers and the winnings are completely fair and random. Be prepared. There will also be things that we have not thought about that we will encounter as new lottery winners. Although I think of randomness I do stop and think that God has an invisible hand in some of these jackpots. For example, the family in Illinois who lost a daughter than checked thei

MM Annuity for Tuesday 6/19/2018Reply
Thank You RJOh for your good luck wishes. I figured that the Total for the 30 years will be equal to $110,250,000 compared to only $66,150,000.00 for the Lump Sum. I use the fact that I am living in California and do not have to pay any taxes to the State. I believe that I can survive on the first year's check worth $1,659,315.90 I will learn from any mistakes and try not to repeat them in the succeeding years. My family will come first before friends and charities. I am at that age whe

Please Reveal Cash Value Formula for Illinois' "Lotto" GameReply
HaveABall, According to online rules at http://www.illinoislottery.com/content/dam/ill/documents/GameRules.pdf The lotto has a 30 year annuity option (page 22). The cash value, according to page 25 is: Grand Prize winners who select the Cash Option will receive the proceeds from the sale of the U.S. Government securities purchased to fund the annuitized Grand Prize, less bank handling charges incurred in the sale. As for a calculation, I would estimate it similar to the PB

Study: Neighbors of lottery winners are more likely to go bankruptReply
I am surprised to learn that a lottery win affects both middle class as well as upper-class neighbors. This news is a good argument for allowing all lottery winners to claim anonymously. The less your neighbors know about your sudden wealth the better for all. This will be one step in protecting your neighbor as well as yourself. Lottery winners must live somewhere so moving next to High Net Worth families will be the choice. These articles are also another voice to taking the thirt

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
There is definitely something strange going on, I hope it's an error. The top prize PDF is strange, it shows Tammy T Smith winning twice, from the same store... but here is where it gets weird, the first time she won she took the annuity on 4/30/2015 and it showed her living at palm beach gardens. The second time Tammy T Smith won on 5/15/2017 she took the cash option for 2.5 mil, this time it showed her as Tammy smith from Riviera beach. Here is what is even more strange, the
