    How can you advertise 500 mil when you're only able to cash out 350 of it?

    I think like 60% of lottery winners end up broke

    They had a show on it

    I do not think about it because it is not happening

    I live in the real world with real people in it

    Let me win it just once and I'll put that theory to the test. My risk of ruin would be somewhere in between 1 and 0.

    a lot of people do go broke after winning like 5 million or even 7 million. but to win over 100 million and go broke...you would have to be the dumbest person alive.

    I'd open up a few bars and nightclubs. Even if they weren't profitable, I wouldn't be in the red anywhere close to the 10M+ I'd earn in interest from my money anyway. Free jobs for a couple hundred people, give a ton to diabetes research, so I'd have done my good deeds. Build a house with an outside, second story hot tub overlooking a basketball and sand volleyball court. To top it off, I'd find a select few people from my past and shove my wealth down their throats. That would probably make me feel the best.

    I would live my life the same. Nothing would change. I would give it all to the Catholic Church. Money is not important to me , being healthy and a being a compassionate human being is worth more than any amount of money.

    The Mega Millions' $540 million jackpot will be worth around $230 million in cold, hard, after-tax cash.

    I've been thinking about what I'm gonna do if I win and these are a few of the things.

    1.) Donate to Obamas campaign for re-election
    2.) Donate to Trayvons momma so she can afford to get a decent lawyer
    3.) Buy season tickets to the Knicks games, courtside of course

    4.) Buy a few hundred acres of land somewhere and build about a 5,000 sqft home. Probably somewhere in the Caribbean.
    5.) Buy a loft in NYC overlooking Central Park
    6.) Go pro for the perks

    7.) Start up a few businesses. Probably a home security business and a car dealership and a donut shop
    8.) Buy 1000 lottery tickets for the next lottery
    9.) Split it 50/50 with my wife and sign a pre-nup

    I bet some of you sick fukks would go broke in a year but have fun doing it.
    What Ive been doing all my life. Blow it all on PWA.

    Read a news story that said 9 in 10 lottery winners have spent all their winning in 5 years (lump sum option).

    The average person who wins the lotto are trailer trash who have no concept in how to invest their winnings. That is why lottery is tax for stupid.

    I think I'd take the annuity payments over 26 years. I'm young and don't plan on dying in the next 26 years. I'm not sure how the payments work but if they're 26 equal payments that would be around $21 million/year. Everything from year 19 on would be money that would have been otherwise lost by taking the lump sum. That ain't chump change.

    A lot of them do, same with people that get inheritances from their families. If they are dumb, uneducated and have no financial structure or common sense they usually blow it in 4-6 years....I am basing this on someone that is left 2-3 million and just starts blowing money and acting like irrational with the money. You have to be smart JJ. With my inheritance, I bough things but I have a big chunk where I just receive the interest, I never have to touch the principle whatsoever...Growing up in Santa Barbara, I have seen it all... some of the richest kids I know that were left tens of millions blew it all and others with a lot less that had a good head on their shoulders are still rolling today... You just can't be a dumbfuk... realize what you have and be thankful!

    I know people personally just like you speak of...a couple of them blew millions in 2-4 years and have nothing to show for it....but the really sick part of it is they seem happier broke than when they had money...almost like they're relieved they don't have to worry about it. Sick but true.

    there was a study done , saying its better to take the lump sum.. for the fact that you can invest it and live off the interest


    thing about the interest on 100 million... 2 or 3 % a year depending on where you put it

    One of my good friends I grew up with was left 10 Million and both houses.....blew all the money and had to sell a house, all he has is a house in Montecito that is paid for... He blew 10 million in 8 years....He still is set but a dumb ass but he is happy as can be.....I was left a good amount of money and I haven't touched a penny of it, really don't think I ever will...
