yup, you don't have to go public, you can choose to remain anonymous. I wouldn't tell a soul and I'm 100% serious.

That's exactly what I mean. But I think you're over-simplifying things.

Do you know how many people would come out of the woodwork to ask you for money? Family, friend, old friends, people you don't even know. The hassle would be enormous. Plus your friends and family would have difficulty seeing you as the same person. Even if they don't ask you for money the "Triumph won the lottery and that selfish SOB won't even toss a N 100K" thoughts will be eating away at them. None of the people in your personal life will be the same.

Don't get me wrong, I would get money to my family/close friends as well, but it would be over time and I would find someway to do it (make them buy shares in some BS corporation then just give them ridiculous dividends or something) so they wouldn't figure out it was from the lottery.

Now come the scam artists. Lottery winners are typically such easy targets for investment scams it isn't funny. Even if you are savvy enough to sniff them out (and trust me, you don't know as much as you think you do, these people are slick), it'll still be a huge hassle if people know who you are.

And regarding "Plus, its not easy to hide being rich if you plan on enjoying your wealth.", that's a lot easier than you think. If you start enjoying your wealth and people don't know where the money comes from, they won't ask questions and they won't ask for money. They'll gossip behind your back about it, but they won't do a whole lot more than that because the don't really know how much money you have. Buy a boat? Could be credit for all they know. 2M house? Could be zero down and a huge mortgage. They don't know.

Anyway, trust me, you're better off keeping it quiet.

Now throw a N 100K for this advice when you win.

I bet if you hit it she would magically transform into a hot 19 yr old. The numbers are out and I lost.

Actually, what I would do is form a charitable remainder trust. That way, I won't pay any taxes on it. There are many estate planning tools out there, so I would advise the winner to consult with some good counsel before going public.

Good luck, BBV!

Just head over to your local grocery store and buy some quick picks. Each quick pick is $1, and you can check your numbers at calottery.com (it's the official site)

I have probably like 5-10 tickets lying around ranging from $1-$10.

-EV ftw! It gives you something to hope for. At least you have a one in a 3405834554345349 chance of winning $150 mil which most people don't have.

I'd recommend that people buy a $1 ticket. Just for the random luck sack ness.

Re: how many mega millions tickets do you have bbv4l
 
I've heard of companies that somehow buy every single number in a lottery once it becomes +EV to do so. I'm not sure if the annuity is +EV at the moment (~ 1:175,000,000) on a $325,000,000 jackpot before taxes, or if it would be worthwhile to buy out a lottery for an annuity payment, but I'd like to know if these companies exist.

It seems like it would have to be like a trillion dollars to offset taxes plus the possibility of splitting the prize 67 ways.

woah i gotta get a ticket. Whenever the jackpot gets to like 250 million i buy 5 bucks worth.

I was so confused at first, because there was a powerball winner like 2 days ago for 314 million. thought you were all behind a bit.

I sincerely doubt these companies exist. You have to factor in the chance of splitting the jackpot with someone.

quick picks are rigged. I always pick my own numbers

as far as not telling anyone if you won, impossible. I'm pretty sure the lottory corp will make you sign something saying they can use your name for promotional use before paying you.

not true

Edit: I think it varies from state to state. I remember reading that you had the option to remain anonymous in GA, but I found this on the mega millions FAQ,

[ QUOTE ]
If I should win the jackpot, do I have the option of remaining anonymous as far as the public and the media are concerned?
In most states, lottery winner information is public domain, therefore it is public information. Publicized information normally includes the jackpot winner's name, city, county, game in which they won, date won, and the amount of the prize.

[/ QUOTE ]

That does suck, but I would just keep as low a profile as possible. No press conferences, interviews, Larry King, none of that [censored].

Interesting article

[/ QUOTE ] You'd think people would have to sign that before they bought the ticket. "Oh yeah you won $150mill. That's cool. Now just sign here that you are fine with us pimping you out to big black men 10 times a day for the next 40 years, and the money is yours."
