For all the people saying they will use a trust to collect the winning anonymously you better hope you dont win in Georgia.

Can a Trust Claim Winnings of a Lottery in Georgia?



The only states where they wont disclose your name are Delaware, Kansas, Maryland, North Dakota, Ohio and South Carolina. So if you buy a ticket in the other 38 states that play the game they going to release your identity. Even if they dont release your name they will release the city, state, and location you bought the ticket from. So someone notices that you stopped working, you deleted your social media pages, changed phone numbers, and disappeared for a month. You also live in the area you bought the ticket. Come on, folks will figure it out.

It would be much easier to just take the money, move, change phone numbers, and just cut off everyone except immediate family and close friends.

CT will allow blind trusts as does NJ. Those are NOT public. Check the powerball site yourself.

NO
I know if I win I'd wait about 6 months to actually claim it. Definitely want to wait until after the fervor dies down.
That is, if you live in a state where your identity is confidential, and NC is not one of those states

I'm taking the lump sum
Live off interest
Not opening no damm business

Buy some small homes that cost no more than $170k
Flip em

Hook my parents up
Pay off my sister bills

Not tell anyone I won
Just lie and say an investment I made in a business just got sold and got a nice cut


I would not buy a home that cost more than 300k for myself

And not even purchase a new vehicle until 2 or more years later
And it would be just another pick up truck on a higher lift kit


I also would give my HBCU some cash
And donate to organizations that help black americans.

Sounds good. Until they put you on that Summer Jam screen. There's a rumor on teh innawebs that they'll trying to propose a new bill that promises anonymity for a price. So basically extortion.

Cash payout stands at 930 million at the moment :deadrose: My God. Could you imagine going from an average breh or brehette to a billionaire in an instant?

Winning that much money, your whole life changes. Every relationship you ever had changes instantly. Your family ain't safe. I'm not buying shyt here in NY cause you can't escape anything. The only way they would POSSIBLY nix the press conference is if you have a restraining order or some shyt like that, I'd put one on my own mama to avoid the conference :pachaha:
Right. There's no way in hell I would want to be publicly identified. I'd definitely use that six months I'm cooling off to orchestrate some shyt that would keep me from being outed.

People make investing sound real easy, lol. Most investors lose money you know that right?

I wouldn't take the lump sum. Losing 500 million, that's stupid. I rather 30 million a year over the next 20 years.
Agreed...
Who wants to be the guy who went broke after winning 800 mil...

I dont...

That's why I got the annual payments...
AND ANY woman I marry is gonna have to get that prenuptial which grants her a lump sum of $250,000 if she decides she wants a divorce.

That's real fair.

this is why i said my family wouldn't know i had the money. wouldn't buy apartments bc i wouldn't be needing money. and i've seen how stressful it can be to own them, though you could hire someone to manage it, but again, that assumes you need or want that income to begin with.

:usure:

Unless you live in a state where lottery winners can be completely anonymous, good luck with the theory thinking that no one in your family would know you had won millions/billions from a lottery prize.
