yikes...I would not want the whole city/state possibly nation knowing I had that much $$$

in some states you have no choice tho but to have your face plastered everywhere

That's why my first move would be to disappear... Fast. I'd relocate, reinvent myself and help the people I care about without them knowing where I am lol.

Most states require you to show your face. :francis:

They require you to reveal your identity...and that's an important legal difference. Laws vary from state to state, but essentially you may have to provide a name, hometown and amount won. That's it. Anything else may be up to interpretation and even legal petition. From 2018:


She Won The $560 Million Powerball -- And Immediately Regretted This

Typically, the choice to remain anonymous after you win the lottery may not be yours.

The rules regarding anonymity vary by state, with some states requiring all lottery winners to disclose their identity. Why?

Some lottery officials say they want transparency and to ensure that the winner is not related to a lottery official. Therefore, lottery commissions strive for transparency, and typically want winners to disclose their name, city and prize amount.

Remaining anonymous when you win the lottery can only be done in six U.S. states: Delaware, Kansas, Maryland, North Dakota, Ohio and South Carolina. The remaining states where Powerball is sold, including Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, require that winners publicly disclose their identity.

In New Hampshire, a lottery winner's name, town and prize amount are publicly disclosed as part of the state's "Right To Know" law.

However, Doe asked a state judge to grant her anonymity even though she signed her name on the back of the ticket and lives in a state that does not permit anonymity for lottery winners.

On Monday, Judge Charles Temple granted her request - to the objection of New Hampshire lottery officials who argued that revealing her identity increases transparency and trust in the lottery system in accordance with state rules. The judge ruled that revealing her name would constitute an invasion of privacy since lottery winners can face - according to Temple's order - “repeated solicitation, harassment, and even violence.” The judge ruled, however, the winner had to reveal her town (Merrimack).

...

The question then is what name do you sign on the back of the ticket - particularly if you want to remain anonymous.

You can accept a lottery prize through legal structures such as a blind trust that can protect your identity. In this case, the winner created the Good Karma Family 2018 Nominee Trust. Her lawyer, William Shaheen, accepted the lump sum prize of $352 million (approximately $264 million after taxes) on her behalf.



Granted, not everywhere will have a friendly judge willing to work with you like New Hampshire, but closed mouths don't get fed so you might as well ask and find out.

It’s funnh because most of the financial planners say take the lump sum. But I saw a documentary on lottery winners and the only ones that didn’t go broke was the people that took the yearly payments. I wonder if taking the lump sum only works out if you are financially literate
Or have a plan. Im frugal with financials and id probably sniff/fukk it all away if i went lump sum. And i dont even drink or trick at all. With 300 mil in my account tomorrow, nothing would stop me from acting a fool. Thats fukk you money.

Just live off the interest rate of a High Yield account and be a legit force of nature.

Plus, anyone that's saying anything BUT investments in stocks, pay for tuition, and save for retirement holds an L


With that money, stocks are low risk high reward as you can fail many times and still have a chance at making it back :wow:


Buy a decent car, a big home and enjoy life.
