Wooow! You have a lot of great ideas what you would do after winning the lottery. Do you think it should be mandatory to have a moratorium on the money for at least 6 months and a counselling before receiving the prize? Do you think one would handle the money more wisely opposed to collecting it immediatelly?
I have a good idea, title the video 10 stories about what the video is actually about and don’t waste my time watching a video I thought was about something different.
@@eman3164 I believe it depends on where you live actually. Some states/countries it is public knowledge/announced if it is large enough... Even if you aren't actually put onto the news, people could look it up.

There’s only 9 states in the US that you can remain anonymous after winning the Mega Millions or Powerball. I’m not sure about other countries but ik that it’s a thing here. Most places publish your name whether you like it or not
@@AmiaRoseBolton that’s not entirely true. If you claim the prize via lawyer and LLC you can stay anonymous. Look up in NY how many people have LLC named “New Life”. It’ll blow your mind. For some reason so many winners choose to use that name lol. I would be a little more creative.
It's probably for accountability. They don't want people thinking that some insider working for the lottery commission somehow won. They want it to be random people. Which can also be problematic as this video talks about with other people suddenly wanting all that money for themselves. Maybe they should pass a law that if the lottery is over a certain amount, like say $150 million, then the winner can ask to be anonymous to avoid this "curse".
Winning a lottery isn’t destroying your life, it’s just revealing the monsters and predators in your area that has been hiding to find a target, and lottery is their target mark
Actually it's like this. Mom: Here is your lunch money. *She hands me a large amount* Me: Love you Mom. *Later* Uncle: Hey my favorite nephew! What's up? If you need anything, I'll give it to you. You got cash? Oh I know you do.
Killing someone because they won the lottery is so dumb, you're going to get caught and even if you don't you won't be able to spend the money because it's not yours.
In some states like Connecticut you are required to be publicly known in order to claim it. You would have to go through a lot of companies to try to be anonymous and even then most people won't know about it.

I’ve won the lottery 2 years ago. I won 2.4 million dollars. But I kept it a secret and I told no one. Not even my family or my girlfriend. But the funny thing is. Before I won the lottery I saw this video, it’s a blessing cause you never know what happens and you don’t know who can trust. I live a very happy life right now and no one really knows about it but my friends and family are getting very suspicious 😅
That just shows you aren't wise enough to handle that much money. Along with anyone who would first think about buying a huge house, expensive cars.. Such a waste.
1. Create a trust to avoid publishing your name. 2. Don't be one of those less than smart people who publicize their face and real name in the media. 3. Trust no one until all legal stuff is set in place. The trust, your will, and so on.
A video like this makes people think this is the norm, considering worldwide there are hundreds of lottery wins every week and you've gone back 25 years for some of these stories 10 bad ones isn't awful. For every tragic lottery win there are hundreds of amazing experiences
This is a mere fraction of destruction that the lottery have caused. The lottery preys on the week minded. Next time you’re in a gas station take a look around at the individuals that are playing the lottery or scratching the tickets.
Maybe not hundreds, since it is extremely common for major lottery winners to go bakrupt within a few years. The most conservative estimate is 30% given by the CPF board of standards and while they may not all be horror stories I doubt the stories from richest to bankruptcy are happy tales.
Even people who keep their money and their lives will say that winning the lottery was the worst thing that ever happened to them, because it ruins relationships. Most end up bankrupt within a few years.
@@Ty-on9mzThe term 'broke' is not relative. If you're broke, you literally have no money. So.. No, they didn't have the amount of money they had before winning, unless they were broke when they won.
But the problem is, that is always got announced publicly no matter who's win they always and must get annuoced publicly, it's already a rule in the lottery system
In some places, they will keep your name private. If I had to appear in public to claim my check, I would disguise myself with a wig, shaded glasses, makeup to make my features look different, and some padding to make my body different. I would consider changing my name so that past acquaintances couldn’t find me. I’d move, but only to get away, not to buy anything huge.
@@epg96 ik, i mean if you only win say like around 200k - 800k you still can atleast handle it but more than that and if you are not prepared for the huge incoming of cash you will feel anxiety, worry just like the people in the videos
If you want to be a private lottery winner from the public, you may be entitled to get a lawyer in your local. If so, you might not be able to get the full amount of the money from your winning lottery ticket and then donate about 3/4 amount of this money to charities if you want to keep your winning lottery private, according to the law.
How to win the lottery and not suffer these fates in 10 easy steps: Step 1 - tell NO ONE, not a soul, no bragging to friends. nothing. Mums the word. You can tell your spouse IF your spouse is a reasonable person. If they are not reasonable keep them out of the loop too. Step 2 - DO NOT SIGN your ticket. Instead quietly take it down to your local bank and get a safety deposit box. Put your ticket there and walk away. Do it properly at the bank. sign all the right papers, do everything in order. Step 3 - FIGHT the impulse to get your money right then and there. you have your whole life to spend. Step 4 - this is the most important step. Go see a LAWYER at a LARGE firm. Tell them you won some money (they don't need to know how much you won) and ask them set up/form a TRUST for the winning ticket. Tell the lawyer you want the winnings to go to the Trust and not to you as an individual. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP YOUR NAME OUT OF THE PAPERS. Step 5 - Once the trust is set up sign your ticket over to the Trust. Have the lawyers for the trust submit the ticket for validation. Step 6 - Once your trust has the winnings. MOVE AWAY from your home town - even if just for a year a two. Maybe rent a fancy house or something and buy a FEW things you've always wanted, go on a trip - whatever. Step 7 - If you want to spread the wealth with family members now you can. Since your name was never in the papers you can say to them "I won at blackjack or whatever in Vegas and I'll share some with you". This lets the family member know they won't be getting millions and a one time win in Vegas is not the sort of well they can keep dipping into. Step 8 - LIVE BELOW YOUR MEANS. Yes, get a nice house (house NOT a MANSION) and drive a nice car (NOT A FERRARI or whatever). Go to school/college and learn about money - you now have the time and money to do so. Step 9 - over the years tell NO ONE (except spouse) you won the lottery. Step 10 : see step 9.
@@xRisingEclipse Pretty sure that a savings account can do that.. But with a trust you have someone in charge. So to do that with your savings would only be wise *after* you saved a million or something.
I’d hate to win. Part of life is aspiring to something greater, and winning the lottery gives you “everything”. Obviously not everything, but how much higher can you go? Life becomes empty at that point.
Money brings comfort, dude. Nothing more. You're not gonna suddenly lose purpose just because you have wealth lol. What I'd give to win millions so that my hard-working parents can retire in the luxury they deserve. And if being rich bothers you that much, then donate to people in need, or to a humanitarian organization.
Yeah that's not true. You can find meaning in life...but you have to remember my friend...keep it simple, as the Bible says... Ecclesiasticus 12:8 [8]A friend cannot be known in prosperity: and an enemy cannot be hidden in adversity.
It's called financial education. If you don't know how to use money, money will use you. If I was them, I would request for my name not to be public and invest every penny into properties. Rent them out and live off the rental income. Your lifestyle would drastically improve and look for ways of improving every aspect of your life. PROGRESS = HAPPINESS!
BloodChains Yeah but you are only required to do an interview and have your name go public if I'm correct. Afterwards; you can legally change your names and live anonymously.
Man if I won the lottery I’d pay for college for my boys, pay my families houses off, and put a bit into retirement. I could survive being a streamer for the rest of my life 😂
Most people who win never had that much money before so they spend it like crazy. "With great power comes great responsibility" isn't just for superheroes
Meanwhile the other 98% of winners are loving life lol. Pay off debt, invest in many things that have a slow and steady ROI. go on vacation and work a job you enjoy.
Don't lie if you won't $50million you would take the money. I would take the money if my family disown me for giving them money oh well they already don't want me around so it wouldn't matter if they disowned me

Don't give your ticket to cashier person to check use check self machine or check online and don't claim prize immediately wait it out you have 180 days to claim your prize then move and tell no one change your name everything
@@cisco01real1 That's what makes it dangerous to even dream of winning. You can't remain anonymous in my state and it's easy to find peoples home addresses on the internet and work place for a small fee so until that changes I'm not suprised in people be murdered or killing themselves or blowing all the money as fast as possible to keep people off their backs
Why can't you be anonymous? You have the right for privacy. And if there were a lot of murders because of people hunting you down for your money, shouldn't it be allowed to hide your identity?
Perhaps it could be because the company operating the lottery need to announce to the public that a real person DID win the lottery. After all, if a lottery company rakes in tens of millions of dollars in lottery tickets but then announces that "We have a winner, but s/he has requested to remain anonymous so we're not revealing their identity." then the public would lose faith, with conspiracies on how the said company only created a fake winner, and kept all the money for themselves. It would potentially ruin their image and business.
@@parasyttez9306 Then the video should've been titled "top 10 lottery winners who lost it all" or something. I thought this was going to be an informative video instead of just some anecdotes
@@TheSemtis Yeah that´s literally what i just said. While keeping money is not spending money recklessly, it´s investing smart to get out the money you invested and a bonus. That´s how people become and stay rich.
I would just bank it and keep living the same. Use it in emergencys or to get a better house or car. You dont have to waste everything you get immidiatly
@@lukewhitsell942 yes, as most of them end up bankrupt or dead. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people that win the lottery are poor, or mid range income and that is ultimately what devestates them the most. The fact that they were never sure how to make the money grow initially. Often when hearing people talk about the lottery it's almost always: buy, buy, buy, buy, give, give, give. You seldom hear someone say the first thing they'll do is contact financial advisors, or lawyers. That they would immediately work on building a real estate port folio. That they would find ways to make the big buck bigger. It is unfortunate, but money begets money, and even more unfortunate that the poor will often stay poor.
Why invest? Thats too much like work and end up being too stressful worrying about losing it all. It happens. Thought the point of winning was to retire and not have anymore worries?
Winning the lottery isn't the main cause of these peoples troubles, its actually their ability of handling so much power. Money is everything in today's world, with money comes power, the reality is that most people aren't capable of handling so much power and tend to use the money in destructive ways. "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power" - Abraham Lincoln.
kojoe1995 Yes, but no. People get jealous and are easily tempted to kill off of greed. When your name is public anyone can search up you name, date of birth, social, and so on. They can stalk you and plan to rob you which can turn out into a bad situation.
kojoe1995 I completely agree look at mike Tyson, blew hundreds not just millions but hundreds of millions of dollars in just a decade one of my favorite boxers and people but man he was wild lol
You fail to understand how greed works. If you watched the video you’d see that friends and family can gang up on you no matter how well you handle your money. People will find out you have it, unless you become some kind of hermit.
I think in some places you can be anon. But, sometimes they want you to be publicly announced so it shows the rest of the world the lotto wasn't a scam and the money didn't all go to government.
Texas and South Carolina allow you to remain anon. There’s more states I just don’t know which. There’s like 8 states that allow you to hide your identity.
Thankfully here in NZ, there's no automatic naming of winners. Besides that, I've never told anyone would I do if I did win big. I was present when Dad and one of his workmates won $NZ340,000 between the two of them almost 25 years ago. Dad wanted to keep quiet about it. Mother was on the phone to all her friends / family within an hour. Other guy blew his half in 3-4 months, ended up worse off than he was before the win. A lesson was learned. Keep it all to myself. No one needs to know. I'd carry on working. Giving me time to get used to having all that money, while gaining a decent amount of interest. Spending on a little more than essentials only, so as not to draw attention to myself. Over time, slowly update/upgrade house, etc. No being flashy with it all.
@@greenberry5950 Yeah, but you should just tell that you want to be anonymous announced and just to be with your closest family members in contact. Plus you should not invest money in some shady shit. Just invent a company yourself or go travel for the rest of your life.
Even a financial advisor couldn't help the ones who were kidnapped... I guess it's best to keep quiet and not make a huge display of your wealth. Just enjoy the reduced financial pressure and spend time with friends/family.
I can guarantee you. there would be no friends after winning in a lottery. i wouldn't even go outside after claiming the money i would probably immigrate somewhere as far as possible from everybody i don't think i could trust anybody
Žanas Bondariovas this is what people don't understand. You can't go back to your regular life. You have to start a new life in high society and bring the people you trust with you.

Luke Faulkner id say personal security or army, no one can touch you when you live in a massive luxurious Villa with bunker and 4 tanks with state of the art locks
In Australia you have the option of total anonymity, and the total amount is paid out tax free after the (big) winners receive compulsory financial advice from the government agency running the lottery.
What I would do would depend on the winning amount. 1 million, I would buy a couple rental properties and live off the income. 1 BILLION. Yeah, pay off my brother's house, buy a cabin in the woods, move, change my phone number and tell nobody about my winnings.
Smart plan but don't live in the woods. Insiders at lottery commissions leak winners' name and some people will track you down. Live in the woods means they can get to you easily. Much better living in ultra rich neighborhoods or New York's super luxury apartments.
Win 10$million. Throw it onto a 10 year term deposit that pays 6% a year on interest. That's 600k a year paid monthly for doing nothing and you still get to keep your initial 10 mil deposit 👌
I know a friend that just won the lottery last week, the very next morning his father who went to buy milk 9 years ago came back. Must have been his lucky week.
If you ever win the lottery, •Change your name. •Move to a different country with your closest family members/friends. •Ignore everyone else who wants money. •Don’t openly be rich. Or just tear up the ticket.
Just move out of USSA shithole country full of criminals. Its absurd 2% of that countrys population are in prison at any given time. I bet at least 70% of population have been arrested or committed a crime at some point in their life.
It should be illegal to announce the winners names. Many states and countries don't allow individuals to remain anonymous. There has been too many tragedies for winners that were beyond their control and solely because they're forced to publically come forward.
I agree, but that makes the lottery thing shady. Who knows where the money goes in that case? That's why there are records on everything, just about. It's best if instead of revealing their names, they just keep their identity hidden and in the government's records so that there's no corruption and you also don't get stalked. Still, I have no interest in the lottery at all either way.
Basic advertising. They do it because they want to say 'This could be you! Make sure you spend money for the next Jackpot otherwise someone else will win!'
States that make it mandatory to reveal the names of lottery winners contribute to these problems. People won't hound you to death if they don't know you won.
It's the worst thing that can happen if you're very stupid. Clever people would invest the money into businesses and other investments and only leave about 10% money for them own.
There are thousands of different investment types, if you're lazy or you just want to enjoy your life without getting too much into business, you can choose a simple investment that requires much less time - buy a couple of houses and just rent them for people, buy 15 cars - rent them. Or just open few hotels :)

This is simple. I would change my number, deactivate all social media, get a lawyer, a financial advisor, and disappear. I'd just be a ghost in another state/ country
I think the problem with winning the lottery is that once you win big, the money you get there is all you will ever have, effectively. What you earn from normal work (if you continue to work) will be insignificant in comparison to the millions you just won, especially considering it is usually not rich people who play. So basically, we can ignore all further income and just assume that the winner will never earn money again. But that means that you have to budget differently. If you're used to being able to spend the money you have because that money comes from a regular, reliable source of income, you must change that mindset immediately, or your habit of spending what you have will lead to you spending all your money immediately for a lifestyle you can not sustain, leaving you back where you started after a few years. If you want to be provocative, you could say that winning the lottery doesn't make you rich, it removes your regular income for the rest of your life (or, less provocatively and more precisely, raises your expectation of lifestyle over what your income can support).
Not even true. You can make 10% on your money yearly pretty easily. For a $300 million jackpot after taxes that's 30 million dollars a year of income. Without even touching your 300 million principal.
Wooow! You have a lot of great ideas what you would do after winning the lottery.

Maybe not hundreds, since it is extremely common for major lottery winners to go bakrupt within a few years. The most conservative estimate is 30% given by the CPF board of standards and while they may not all be horror stories I doubt the stories from richest to bankruptcy are happy tales.
Even people who keep their money and their lives will say that winning the lottery was the worst thing that ever happened to them, because it ruins relationships. Most end up bankrupt within a few years.
@@AG-ng8gt yeah but why would I care if it ruins their (italics) relationship?

Wow you are an amazing person 🧒
I bet there are 10 or 100 great lottery winner stories for every bad one..
Try three bad ones for one good one. 70% of people go broke after 5 years.
STTNGfan15 I’m sure ‘broke’ is just the amount of money they had and earned before they one the lottery
I have money well my family has loads of money but not the lottery!?
@@Ty-on9mzThe term 'broke' is not relative. If you're broke, you literally have no money. So.. No, they didn't have the amount of money they had before winning, unless they were broke when they won.
Nope broke as in even less money than before
I think it's better not to publicly announce to mass media or public if u won lottery
But the problem is, that is always got announced publicly no matter who's win they always and must get annuoced publicly, it's already a rule in the lottery system
@@MichaMundy yeah it's so dangerous in my opinion
In some places, they will keep your name private. If I had to appear in public to claim my check, I would disguise myself with a wig, shaded glasses, makeup to make my features look different, and some padding to make my body different.
I would consider changing my name so that past acquaintances couldn’t find me. I’d move, but only to get away, not to buy anything huge.
@@epg96 ik, i mean if you only win say like around 200k - 800k you still can atleast handle it but more than that and if you are not prepared for the huge incoming of cash you will feel anxiety, worry just like the people in the videos
If you want to be a private lottery winner from the public, you may be entitled to get a lawyer in your local. If so, you might not be able to get the full amount of the money from your winning lottery ticket and then donate about 3/4 amount of this money to charities if you want to keep your winning lottery private, according to the law.

How to win the lottery and not suffer these fates in 10 easy steps:
Step 1 - tell NO ONE, not a soul, no bragging to friends. nothing. Mums the word. You can tell your spouse IF your spouse is a reasonable person. If they are not reasonable keep them out of the loop too.
Step 2 - DO NOT SIGN your ticket. Instead quietly take it down to your local bank and get a safety deposit box. Put your ticket there and walk away. Do it properly at the bank. sign all the right papers, do everything in order.
Step 3 - FIGHT the impulse to get your money right then and there. you have your whole life to spend.
Step 4 - this is the most important step. Go see a LAWYER at a LARGE firm. Tell them you won some money (they don't need to know how much you won) and ask them set up/form a TRUST for the winning ticket. Tell the lawyer you want the winnings to go to the Trust and not to you as an individual. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP YOUR NAME OUT OF THE PAPERS.
Step 5 - Once the trust is set up sign your ticket over to the Trust. Have the lawyers for the trust submit the ticket for validation.
Step 6 - Once your trust has the winnings. MOVE AWAY from your home town - even if just for a year a two. Maybe rent a fancy house or something and buy a FEW things you've always wanted, go on a trip - whatever.
Step 7 - If you want to spread the wealth with family members now you can. Since your name was never in the papers you can say to them "I won at blackjack or whatever in Vegas and I'll share some with you". This lets the family member know they won't be getting millions and a one time win in Vegas is not the sort of well they can keep dipping into.
Step 8 - LIVE BELOW YOUR MEANS. Yes, get a nice house (house NOT a MANSION) and drive a nice car (NOT A FERRARI or whatever). Go to school/college and learn about money - you now have the time and money to do so.
Step 9 - over the years tell NO ONE (except spouse) you won the lottery.
Step 10 : see step 9.
The ''TRUST'', is it only for winnings and/or lottery, or could it be used for just saving up money?
you did two step twos
In England you don’t have to have your name revealed and it can be kept a secret from everyone.
@@xRisingEclipse
Pretty sure that a savings account can do that..
But with a trust you have someone in charge.
So to do that with your savings would only be wise *after* you saved a million or something.
Step 10: use your savings to pay a psychologist to diagnose your paranoia
protecting the winner’s identity should have been easy but no they chose to reveal it
It is better for business
The minute you win the lottery. You can kiss your life goodbye.
Or change your name and go dark.
In Tennessee, you have the option not to be announced the winner.
In most countrys they need to reveal the winners name to avoid the lottery being called fraud and taking the money by themselves.
I see the strategy here. Scare everyone from playing to increase your chances of winning. Well played
There'll be less winnings if less people played..
@@youlostabetwithsatanandnow8592 Still a higher chance of winning though and the viewers here wont matter in money.
you...have no idea how the lottery actually works.
I'm impressed of ur genius brain :))))
smashonlamez that does nothing, it’s all about the numbers, not the people
I’d hate to win. Part of life is aspiring to something greater, and winning the lottery gives you “everything”. Obviously not everything, but how much higher can you go? Life becomes empty at that point.
Nice comment
get a better life kid, winning shouldn't do that to you
Money brings comfort, dude. Nothing more. You're not gonna suddenly lose purpose just because you have wealth lol.

Oppai wish it was like that.. in only 9 states you are allowed to remain anonymous..
@@cisco01real1 That's what makes it dangerous to even dream of winning. You can't remain anonymous in my state and it's easy to find peoples home addresses on the internet and work place for a small fee so until that changes I'm not suprised in people be murdered or killing themselves or blowing all the money as fast as possible to keep people off their backs
tittsntattoos4u Muah! That’s just sad. You manage to win and someone tracks you down then kills you..
Why can't you be anonymous? You have the right for privacy. And if there were a lot of murders because of people hunting you down for your money, shouldn't it be allowed to hide your identity?
Perhaps it could be because the company operating the lottery need to announce to the public that a real person DID win the lottery. After all, if a lottery company rakes in tens of millions of dollars in lottery tickets but then announces that "We have a winner, but s/he has requested to remain anonymous so we're not revealing their identity." then the public would lose faith, with conspiracies on how the said company only created a fake winner, and kept all the money for themselves.
It would potentially ruin their image and business.

@@lukewhitsell942 yes, as most of them end up bankrupt or dead. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people that win the lottery are poor, or mid range income and that is ultimately what devestates them the most. The fact that they were never sure how to make the money grow initially. Often when hearing people talk about the lottery it's almost always: buy, buy, buy, buy, give, give, give. You seldom hear someone say the first thing they'll do is contact financial advisors, or lawyers. That they would immediately work on building a real estate port folio. That they would find ways to make the big buck bigger. It is unfortunate, but money begets money, and even more unfortunate that the poor will often stay poor.
Its all about being smart with your money and not telling everyone that you are rich.

I think in some places you can be anon. But, sometimes they want you to be publicly announced so it shows the rest of the world the lotto wasn't a scam and the money didn't all go to government.
Texas and South Carolina allow you to remain anon. There’s more states I just don’t know which. There’s like 8 states that allow you to hide your identity.

A lesson was learned.
Keep it all to myself. No one needs to know. I'd carry on working. Giving me time to get used to having all that money, while gaining a decent amount of interest.
Spending on a little more than essentials only, so as not to draw attention to myself. Over time, slowly update/upgrade house, etc. No being flashy with it all.

@@sammy.l.8820 In Nepal There is 10%-12% intrest
I know a friend that just won the lottery last week, the very next morning his father who went to buy milk 9 years ago came back. Must have been his lucky week.
If you ever win the lottery,
•Change your name.
•Move to a different country with your closest family members/friends.
•Ignore everyone else who wants money.
•Don’t openly be rich.
Or just tear up the ticket.
Just move out of USSA shithole country full of criminals. Its absurd 2% of that countrys population are in prison at any given time. I bet at least 70% of population have been arrested or committed a crime at some point in their life.
Haha true
I would just make a giant fucking tank so they couldn't get me
And invest in business
Stooperz didnt you listen most of the time the friends were annoying
It should be illegal to announce the winners names. Many states and countries don't allow individuals to remain anonymous.
There has been too many tragedies for winners that were beyond their control and solely because they're forced to publically come forward.
I agree, but that makes the lottery thing shady. Who knows where the money goes in that case? That's why there are records on everything, just about. It's best if instead of revealing their names, they just keep their identity hidden and in the government's records so that there's no corruption and you also don't get stalked.
Still, I have no interest in the lottery at all either way.
@Greggory Private records??? Like honestly, the public announcement is stupid as hell
Then go under an aliases
You can get lawyers to accept it through a trust if you didn't sign the ticket yet
But here in the UK you can remain anonymous. There's no obligation to disclose who you are.
I hate how they have to put the winner all over the news
It is like they put a bounty on you
Basic advertising. They do it because they want to say 'This could be you! Make sure you spend money for the next Jackpot otherwise someone else will win!'
Shut up you 12 year old
Fortnite Dude,ikr,do they want us to die?or be blamed on?or something else?
me too thats probably how murderers find out about them
States that make it mandatory to reveal the names of lottery winners contribute to these problems. People won't hound you to death if they don't know you won.
It's the worst thing that can happen if you're very stupid. Clever people would invest the money into businesses and other investments and only leave about 10% money for them own.
OMG that's terrible advise.
There are thousands of different investment types, if you're lazy or you just want to enjoy your life without getting too much into business, you can choose a simple investment that requires much less time - buy a couple of houses and just rent them for people, buy 15 cars - rent them. Or just open few hotels :)
@Mike Fu - Hire an attorney to create a trust or LLC to collect the funds. The actual winner would then be anonymous.
CHREN BADIO Too true
Look man you cant know that while there is over 10K different things that cause someone to die and there is more than 100 dying styles so let me giv ya a example:You won the lottery YAY right? Now choose a thing A or B and continue reading from A if you selected it or from B ok? Thats the rule Now A:will you say it to just your family? B:say to no one if you said A well HAPPY OOF TO YOU u r gonna be OOFED oh if you dont wanna OOF or sont be OOFED more longer just be a good boi and dont threat others with your cash,try to keep your morale good with people and hide your cash into a money if you said A well you CANT after a sometime you WİLL say it to someone like the one who you trust a lot if you say that WTH i can keep it LOL you are wrong no one even done it for the all eternity so you also cant make it C:
This is simple. I would change my number, deactivate all social media, get a lawyer, a financial advisor, and disappear. I'd just be a ghost in another state/ country
Brooo that's what I will do also
Easier said then done:)
Plot twist: you're not really nick moorman
Nick Moorman So you’d leave all your family, friends relationships and home?
Guess what?the lawyer and the financial guy are going to take all your money 🤣😂🤣😂
Seems that most of these peoples mistakes were telling anyone they won.
Steve White that’s why you don’t tell anyone because than everyone will just like you for your money it sucks
That's what I was basically implying.
State/News do that for you
44 of the states require your name to be public when you claim your winnings here in Washington you can’t claim it anonymously
@@elibauer127 wtf? How come? That's bullshit
I think the problem with winning the lottery is that once you win big, the money you get there is all you will ever have, effectively. What you earn from normal work (if you continue to work) will be insignificant in comparison to the millions you just won, especially considering it is usually not rich people who play. So basically, we can ignore all further income and just assume that the winner will never earn money again. But that means that you have to budget differently. If you're used to being able to spend the money you have because that money comes from a regular, reliable source of income, you must change that mindset immediately, or your habit of spending what you have will lead to you spending all your money immediately for a lifestyle you can not sustain, leaving you back where you started after a few years.
If you want to be provocative, you could say that winning the lottery doesn't make you rich, it removes your regular income for the rest of your life (or, less provocatively and more precisely, raises your expectation of lifestyle over what your income can support).
Not even true. You can make 10% on your money yearly pretty easily. For a $300 million jackpot after taxes that's 30 million dollars a year of income. Without even touching your 300 million principal.
