I'd be shocked to find out that crap isn't rigged. I just don't believe the government would cut a check to some random asshole for a billion dollars.

Lotteries don't pay out a lump sum. They pay X amount per year over the course of your life. If you die before getting it all, which happens often, that's just too bad.

You absolutely can take the cash option for Megamillions and Powerball, which is roughly half the advertised jackpot. The annuity is something I personally would only go for if it is under 50 million. Otherwise take the money and run because no one would be sympathetic if the lottery stopped paying your installments.

The only way to make sure someone you love gets it all is to get a life insurance policy for the total amount of the winnings, with level lifetime premiums or paid up in 20 years or something like that, and make sure you pay the premium every year, and hire people to make sure you and the beneficiary don't get ruined by this money.

I think it would be a bad life choice to take out a life-insurance policy on a billion-plus dollars in the name of anyone, loved or otherwise. Putting that kind of temptation in front of anyone, even a saint, is asking for trouble.

You request the lump sum and get about half

it works out to $~400 million for the cash option. so the gubment beat them out of $800 million.

For anyone who doesn't already realize this, this is the worst day in the life of the person who won this money. He or she will have nothing but headaches, heartaches and trouble until they either die, or all the money is gone. You doubt me? Take a look at the record of big lottery winners, see what happened to them. Many will say winning the lottery was the worst thing that ever happened to them.

Na, I think it is because 90% of people are retards, therefore retards win the lottery 90% of the time.

Here's a hint... DON'T TELL ANYONE. My cousins friend won the lottery, millions... He literally fucked off and is probably retired, who knows. I have a huge family, and buying them all houses on a compound I built and living all in our own community would be completely badass ad doable with enough money.

Not telling anyone would be difficult when most lotteries publish your name, credentials and your face everywhere in case you happen to win (all by design), so you become this big spectacle and grow a large target mark behind your head. Also the gov usually immediately taxes like 40% of it, lmao.

It's pretty funny. Lottery run by government. Says you win $1.28 billion, here you go. Now, hand back half of that or we'll put you in prison.

You can opt for non published names and who cares if gov takes 40% you get 60% of millions which you didn't have before

Yup, Ive found most of the time people with any inkling of money rapidly evaporate friends who only try to use them for their own gains. On top of this, the IRS will happily destroy your life too

It would be nice if it was a white supremacist if any actually existed. Then they could actually do what sorrows did we just spread a million dollars here and there around to get DA's elected and all sorts of little cities and gets judges appointed and perhaps reverse some of the calamity that's happening to the United states. But of course white supremacists don't really exist. Only Jewish supremacists exist. Anyway we can all dream.

Waste of money. Best way to use it is to buy land and start Orania 2.0. There is no fixing the USA, only building the future.

Probably bought by Tony Soprano's nephew.
