Truth is, winning a lottery of this size is likely to end up being a nightmare for the lucky ticket holder.
This is true, some people don't buy into the lottery until it hits the amount where if you won, you'd be sorry.
If you won at say $50m you'd probably not even be a blip on the radar, but when every entertainment (news) station in the country is running stories about the large amount and what they would do with the money it is going to be a nightmare for the winnter(s).
If I were a betting person
, I would say that there will be more than one ticket to share the pot with on this drawing, which might be a good thing.
If I won:
After doing my best to stay anonymous (and never telling anyone that we won the lottery),
Set up a trust for each kid that will supply them with a decent annual income.
Give the maximum taxfree gift to each extended family member with the explanation of we came into some money.
Repair, remodel, put in a pool, home renovation.
Fly first class, more vacations, etc. etc.
I find it kind of funny when Good Morning America is talking about the lottery and some of the big name entertainment is talking about getting a lottery ticket and I'm thinking you've already won the lottery with your current multi million dollar gig (i.e. Michael Strahan)
