Re: My Webmaster won $70 million in Powerball lottery - $tevie - 03-26-2012 The trick is to immediately find a good lawyer and let him assist you in turning in the winning ticket and handling all the aftermath. Then find a good accountant. :-) BTW, it seems that people who plan to keep working after winning the lottery usually end up quitting anyhow because their co-workers either resent them for keeping a job that someone else could use, or they are too jealous to hide it, they simply think the lottery winner is out of his/her mind, or various combos of the three.

I always thought I would do that and tell people I made the money in music publishing or something they wouldn't understand. But, it would be very stressful keeping your secret, I think. Always wondering if someone was on to you and thinking you were actually a lucky SOB and lazy and shiftless now. Also, if you told ONE person, regardless of how close they are to you, the secret will get out. Re: My Webmaster won $70 million in Powerball lottery - Jimmypoo - 03-26-2012 Oh… I’d be real well known with the first $100k, but after that? I’d be so far away from where I won, I’d head out to California and wait for medical poppy and coca leaf farms to become legal. Until then… I’d have $69,900,000 to stare at, via my custom 16 core, A-15 iPad ZXi!!! And from it… I’d launch missiles.

Got one relative that I bet if I got them completely out of debt and then some it wouldn't be two years they would be asking for more.

Re: My Webmaster won $70 million in Powerball lottery - AllGold - 03-26-2012 I stopped putting a number on the money I want a while ago. I just want to have enough money to not ever have to worry about money. I want enough to make myself and my family comfortable and to donate a lot to those in need. I'd like to be able to hand a $100 bill to anyone I see on the street in need and not think anything of it. One problem I have is I'm a big believer in The Secret and I haven't figured out a good way to make "not ever having to worry about money" be a positive instead of a negative (worrying about money). |
