Here's Mark Cuban's advice for whoever wins the $1.4 billion Powerball lottery

[The Devil's Advocate]

Lol u feel me

I mean I knew these nikkas on here was miserable but this is crazy lol

i know right... i mean i get not handing out million dollar checks... but DAMN


but these dudes have always been all about money... doesn't matter if you got 80 million and spend 50k a year.... go out there and kill yourself for another 10 breh... cause what if you spend it all suddenly



i'm pretty sure i could live off 5 million forever..... and yet dudes talking bout having 800 million FREE dollars... and not even helping their cousins that they pissed in the bed with, with a home or nothing


i'm pretty sure you can take 400 milliion after taxes.... and live the same damn life as a man who got 350 million.... but the man who spent 50 million making sure his family and friends was straight, is definitely going to be the happier person, with many more actual friends and loved ones around him...





"if every nikka in your click ain't rich, your click ain't rugged"

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Indeed

All I'm saying is you might as well tell your "best friend" to go fukk himself before you offer him 75k out of 500 mil you just won

That's like me and my boy walking down the street and I find $100 on the floor and offer him a penny

"I'm good"

sorry bro... i'm gonna pay you back that $25 you lent me last week... but i only got 799 million in my account... i can't be giving you 500k and shyt... hit me up when you get off work tho, i'll be in paris

 

[AAKing23]

Honestly I'd probably have a damn heart attack and die If I won that shyt

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

how long is the wait time between turning in your ticket and receiving your money?

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

my family wouldn't even know i won that shyt. would probably just put the shyt in the bank and live off of 40k or less per year after buying a couple of things.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

He's right about the investments. People kill me talking about if they win $1,000,000,000 they're going to invest in shyt. nikkas talking about investing in stocks and starting business after winning 1 billion dollars nikka for what?
With that kind of money you don't need to invest shyt. Just live the rest of your life doing whatever the fucc you want to do.

This young nikka gets it....

how long is the wait time between turning in your ticket and receiving your money?

few key questions answered straight from powerball.com


CAN I REMAIN ANONYMOUS WHEN I HIT THE JACKPOT?

All but a handful of states (DE, KS, MD, ND, OH for now) have laws that require the lottery to release the name and city of residence to anyone who asks. Some states are considering anonymous claims. Some states are considering a one-year period of anonymity to give the winners time to get used to their new lifestyle. Other states may offer to assist you in some way, including such things as the creation of trusts. But generally, you will want to hire an attorney to review the laws in your state to see what options you might have. Photos and press conferences are up to you for most part, though some states add a requiremment for photos on their tickets. Check with your state lottery to see if photos or more are required. Most of the time, it is advisable to get it over with the press so that you don't have one or more reporters following you around to get that "exclusive" interview. Even if the you can keep your identity secret from the press and the public, you will have to be known to the lottery - so they can confirm that you are eligible to play and win.



WHAT HAPPENS TO UNCLAIMED PRIZES?
Unclaimed prizes, including a state's share of jackpot sales, are kept by the lottery jursidiction. About half of the lotteries are required to put the money back into a game. The other half is required by law to turn the money over to the state's general fund. If a jackpot is unclaimed, The money must be returned back to all lotteries, in proportion to their sales for the draw run. The lotteries then distribute the money as they are required by law - back into other lottery games or back to the state's general fund.



WHAT HAPPENS IF AN ANNUITY PRIZE WINNER DIES?
The estate will handle the lottery prize. A lottery annuity prize is just like any other asset. You can pass any remaining annuity payments on to your heirs or to anyone else. The Powerball game will even cash out an annuity prize for an estate. This may make it easier for the estate to distribute the prize. It also may be necessary to cash out the annuity to pay Federal estate taxes. We will sell some or all of the securities at competitive bid or will even just transfer the securities to the estate. We do not charge a fee of any kind. We often hear people complain that the jackpot should not go back to "the state" when a winner dies. It does not. I think that this misunderstanding may come from the response that the prize "goes to the Estate" and some people hear "goes to the State."



HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET MY MONEY? It takes up to two weeks to collect the cash from the stores around the nation. If you go to the lottery to claim your prize after that two weeks, then, in many states, you can generally have the jackpot money (all cash or the first of the annual payments) hit your bank account the next day - maybe the following day if you come to the lottery office very late in the day. Some lotteries must work through the state system and that can delay the payment. That said, Powerball jackpot winners genneraly don't have trouble getting a little credit if you wish to buy something before the money arrives. Just mention my name - and that you are the Powerball winner.

why would you hide from people who don't know you


you're exactly right... only people who would remember are people like friends, family, coworkers.... the exact people you'd be trying to hide from in the first place




i think y'all missed my original point


people are saying they'd never tell anyone... they'd go to school, or work, or not tell friends, or not tell family



once people who already know your ass, see your ass collecting a big ass check on tv, you are not going to be able to be around these same people and act like you didn't win


that was my point

You coked up fam? What does bold have to do with anything I said. As far as coworkers who cares you won't see them anymore. With family you just gotta handle that

breh... i started a post... didn't quote anyone

it clearly said TO THOSE TALKING ABOUT THEY'D STILL GO TO WORK, SCHOOL, HIDE FROM FRIENDS, FAMILY.............................


so you quoting me and asking me to name a random winner made zero sense

it's not about finding a random winner.. or hiding from a random person....

it's about how the hell you gonna hide it and go about normal life when you on fukking tv holding up a check... everybody gonna know who knows you already

I asked you to name a random winner because you said you'd be remembered. If you talking about friends and family my nikka you ain't making no sense cause them cats would remember you anyway. Then after that you prove my point again by saying the last sentence. If you can't go about your normal life name someone who won since we should know them cause they on fukking tv holding up a check. Don't see how,you can't see that makes no sense what your saying.

 

[Darealtwo1]

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.

What bout if you went to a PWI

It's not about just your family, but the millions and millions of other people who might cause you harm also.

"Poor Urooj Khan should've kept his promise to himself. A lottery-ticket-buying addict, he'd sworn off buying lottery tickets. But the 46-year-old Chicagoan couldn't fight the urge; he had to buy one more. Bam! His ticket hits the million dollar jackpot. Lucky son of a gun.

Deciding to cash out the ticket in one lump sum instead of installments, Khan waited with much anticipation for that first check of $425,000.00. Tragically, he never saw a dime of it. He suddenly dropped dead the day after his winnings were publicly announced. The coroner said it was natural causes. But a close family member wasn't buying it. Sure enough, another autopsy revealed that Khan died of cyanide poisoning. And after he was dead, his estate quickly cashed the check. Naturally, the local police department is treating his death now as a homicide."

"Another big winner, Abraham Shakespeare hit it large in the Florida state lotto for $31 million. Shakespeare lived it up for a couple of years, almost having spent all his money until he suddenly disappeared in 2006. His body was found under a concrete slab in 2010. Suspicions turned to a woman Shakespeare was associated with who had apparently bilked him out of over a million dollars. She was eventually charged in connection to his murder."
