Fuck the Powerball. Like it was said above, it's usually rich people that win it. Other than that it's white trash. It's never a hard working blue collar family, someone that's a little intelligent. This jackass will end up broke or dead within a couple years, maybe both. The best thing to do would be hire an attorney, find someone that could afford it to buy the ticket from you, and sell them the ticket at like 85% face value. In the agreement have a non-disclosure clause that if broken, they pay you back X amount of dollars. Basically, they make a few million while you keep your name out of the spotlight. Not these backwoods people, they want to see themselves on tv and in newspapers, not having the sense to see that everyone will be knocking on his front door or kicking in his back door. The kids will be potential targets for ransom.

Good story. Nothing pisses me off more than seeing a 99 year old fuck winning the jackpot. He's young, has kids....he'll enjoy the moolah. Not as much as I would though
The problem with this story is is this guy someone who has a personal friend who is a financial adviser? This guy's best friends are probably a mechanic, a plumber and a bum who buys thunderbird every other day.
There aren't any really good people in the world who will help this guy manage his fortune. We will see the story of him and how he lost all his money, just like all the recent NBA stars who are now penniless. :dunno: The act of publicizing this guy will only bring about misery for him.
He better set up that non-profit foundation in about 3 hours before the lawsuits arrive...:wave2:

Imagine how much more could be done if these massive pots were spread around to a few more people. Couldn't the geniuses figure out a way to spread these pots out a bit more to, say, maybe like a dozen (or more) people?
BTW tits, yes this guy is an airhead to have publicized this; probably the dumbest thing a person could do. If it was me I'd lock the ticket in the freezer, take a vacation for a few weeks and do some serious thinking about life. A good lawyer, a financial advisor and go from there.

Well I wish him the best, I'm not going to assume he is a moron that is going to blow everything.

Awrite. I'll slay the dragon in the room....
How the hell does this guy have kids?
Just askin'
I laughed at this but at least he can take care of his kids
I'm willing to bet that he will blow everything away within 7 years. A classic American rags to riches back to rags story with a little gluttony, infidelity, divorce, drug use and depression thrown in the mix.

Well, this would be a no-brainer to me.
You can have a 100%-proof and safe income and still keep the original money.
Here is my calculation, done conservative:
You see, you can have an income - after taxation - of 46071,4 US $ (based on an interest of 5%, which you will probably top) and a tax rate of 30% (which on such an income you can work around too, but let us accept this for the sake of the argument).
14 yearly rates of income, including 1 for the christmas holidays, and 1 for your summer holiday or somethign like that.
The concept I got from a feature the lottery over here offers - a life-long pension. This works like this: The lottery company puts a million o rtwo, in a life-long bank account in your name and the bank pays you the interest while the original money doesn't get touched. Because they know they can work with it forever, they pay extra special rates. And you can have a charity fund in your name behind when you die, and let your name live forever
Well, If we assume that we can push that interest by saving on taxation etc, I guess we could get 60 K per month but that would be great living either way.
