Well I see the lottery is up to 1.9 BILLION dollars. Whoever wins that prize had better schedule some therapy sessions. Most people can't even kmprehend what that amount of money means

I hear that the winner should get a safe deposit box,take pictures of the ticket but don’t sign it immediately, surround themselves with people they know and trust, get incorporated, find lawers and tax experts.

That depends where the ticket was sold Rip, some states have laws that don't allow you to stay anonymous.

You beat me to the punch Fred. In many states, you agree when you buy a ticket that they can use you for promoting the lottery and where it was bought. We had Powerball winners in WI and they were all over the local and national news.

I believe there is a class action suit challenging that as an invasion of privacy.

That is something that I will never have to worry about, I have never bought a ticket. Marion has bought a few, but not many. Needless to say, she has never won anything.

I always heard the first thing you should do is sign it. Who would you trust with that kind of money.

The only way to do that is to set up a trust

It's not set up for you to win like any other form of gambling. Most people know in their minds the mathematical odds of winning are ridiculous. They buy one for fun.
