Too many lottery winners become a cautionary tale
Winning the lottery is a different circumstance than, say selling off a company. I've read a ton of stories of ducking fumbasses literally winning hundreds of millions and squandering it all in under a decade, and in everyone of those stories, they always do absolutely stupid shyt. Here's the things that most notably stood out;
-continuing to work at your blue-collar/middle class white collar job thinking things can just continue the way they've always been.
-not keeping your money in the bank or investing it wisely. There was a fukktard that carried his money around with him in a brief case and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars
per night "making it rain" at strip clubs. He didn't trust banks and people kept breaking into his home and stealing shyt and he was too stubborn to move so he always carried his money with him.
-buying an onslaught of depreciating assets with no steady income to pay for any of it. dumbasses that buy entire car lots full of supercars and monster mansions in cash not realizing that you have to register those cars and have them insured and even if you pay for a $30million dollar home in cash you still get raped in property taxes as well as buying shyt to fill up the house. Plus with a house that big you'd have to hire a butler or maid to maintain upkeep.

Personally, I have a plan in the event I win the lottery;
-I wouldn't tell a god damn soul.
-I wouldn't quit my job outright because that would raise suspicion. I'd put in my 2-weeks notice and continue working as if my life hasn't changed. Yeah, it would be the longest 2 weeks of my life, but after those two weeks, i'd never be obligated to work another day in my life.
-during those two weeks i'd spend any and all free time searching for an investment advisor that can help me manage my money. To make sure he's legit i'd have to find this individual out of state so that there's no vested interest and very little chance to get swindled.
-i'd get a new phone and number because as soon as people start finding out I won, my text messages, and sob story phone calls would explode.If I want to get in contact with someone, i'll call them, they won't call me.
-I'd move out of the state. So, i'd make sure all of my "ducks are in a row" and on the day I get the lottery winnings I'd do it first thing in the morning, do that mandatory PR-interview and by the time that shyt airs on the local news I would be long gone out of the state.
-I'd set aside a "fukk-It" fund which is a specific amount of money from my lump sum that i'd blow on absolute frivolous shyt....you know, just to get it out of my system.
-afterwards i'd talk to my close friends and family individually and give them amounts based on their debts and their points in life (whether they're new home owners about to retire have a baby on the way etc)....and if they think there's some second cousin twice removed that deserves some of my money then they can take it out of the sum of money that I give them.
