I thought I got it before anyone could see I am a dumbass.

I guess some grammar lessons could be towards the top of my initial purchases.

I just don't have anything else to be a **** about at the moment, so it's got to be grammar and spelling

You'll need $450M to purchase one (plus luck finding one in stock).

  • Take the lump sum
  • Invest 4/5 of it
  • Buy a new truck
  • Help my parents build their dream ranch house on our farm that they've talked about for 20 years
  • See if my job would be cool with me taking unpaid leave. If so, probably work more than half the year and spend the rest of my time traveling/climbing around the world

So definitely take the lump sum? Asking for a friend.

Yes but with that kind of money your friend can afford to buy newer better friends than you. Best not to tell them.

Honestly I'd probably be dead within 5 years if I won.

You always hear about the perils of a large portion of lottery winners; I don't buy it. The sample set is not your average person. It is a lower class person who likely has past addictions and demons, and has family and friends are similar to him, and with the windfall these problems come out of the closet.

A middle to upper class winner surely is not near as likely to have these problems/weaknesses, or have family and friends with thee problems.

If I win the lottery, I wouldn't have parents, aunts and uncles, cousins and friends knocking down my door, because they are all comfortable and successful in their lives.

That's my take anyway. I'd like to see a breakdown of the future of lottery winners that already had successful careers or were upper class. I don't think they are going bankrupt in 2 years and getting kidnapped or murdered, because they didn't associate with that lifestyle beforehand.

If I won the lottery I'd have cousins trying to have more babies just that could have another person to send to ask me for money (which I would not give)

You people that would keep working at your job, even part time, are weird or workaholics.

I'm also curious. I'd like to think that my friends wouldn't come knocking down my door for money. All of them have jobs and careers. My parent's and relatives all have successful careers and families coupled with the fact that most of them are hitting the retirement age anyways and already have the money they need to travel and what not.

I think you're dead on, except for the part I bolded. Unfortunately, I bet the sample set is absolutely reflective of the "average person", as sad as that may be.

Is it possible to claim the prize anonymously? I'd be calling a lawyer and setting it up immediately if so. I wouldn't want anyone to know I had won it. Then I could distribute it as I saw fit. I shouldn't have any beggars at my door anyway, but I wouldn't want to deal with the hassle of a distant family member, friend, or acquaintance to contact me for the first time in a long time (or ever).

I remember back in 2011, a couple of hedge fund guys won some big lottery

The reaction of the lolpoors and libtards was hysterical

Isn't it in the fine print that you give whoever is running the lottery the rights to certain info about you? Basically giving them the rights to user your name and likeness in advertising.

But I agree, I would want to keep it on the low.

Yes poor wording on my part. The winners are absolutely the average American. I meant not the average texagger. A college educated person with a career.

Some states you have to disclose who wins, others you don't. And some may have restrictions in place preventing an LLC or a trust to claim the prize, forcing the purchaser to claim it. This all varies by state I'm sure. So do the taxes of course.

I'm not sure which would result in the more spectacular train wreck, an "average American" winning, or an average TexAgser winning. :-)
