My Webmaster won $70 million in Powerball lottery
#21
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.

If my family could all pursue art and music and charitable work without having to worry about money it would be a blessing indeed. I don't get this Puritannical "work is good for you" stuff AT ALL.

Absolutely agree... Work is a four letter word indeed.

They say you can get a lawyer and incorporate and keep it secret unless the lottery has rules against it. 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.

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.

I'd pay off what little I owe, help my family out, save enough to not have to worry about things down the road
and give the rest away to people that need help then maybe people wouldn't be bugging the crap out me
for money, I hear that's what happens to everyone that wins big like this. 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.

$70 Million ... think of the hookers and booze.



My headstone will read "It seemed like a good idea at the time".

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).
