I'd start my own charity around niche causes I feel passionate about.

A number of states have laws specifically disallowing lottery winnings to be claimed by more than 1-4 people and require that their full names be disclosed. A name change later on is an option though.

I've got to think that if you can hire the right team of lawyers, you can come up with a way to claim it without revealing your identity. If not, I'd be changing my name right after.

"high stable income" in this case being 10s of millions a year. It's kind of crazy.

She bought the ticket as a nod to the plane, not the jackpot amount was 747 million as a nod to the plane.

Oh, so that's the way it works. Makes perfect sense.

“lost”
that’s a weird way to spell “throw away”

Don’t forget: no one else is allowed to buy a ticket.

You mean those are the odds if the 747 jackpot amount prompted all Boeing employees to buy a ticket?
Forgive me if this is repetitive but I’m just trying to understand the sentence.

Well, time to bring back this gem of a comment advising what to do in this situation.

Where’s that one re-linked Reddit comment about the step-by-step on what to do when you win the lottery when I need it….
Edit: Found it.

I always wondered if anyone won from those lottery vending machines. Now I kinda feel like they aren't a scam

The state of Washington prohibits winners from being anonymous. Note however that the winner didn't have any publicity photos taken, which is something, but there are likely photos of them out there somewhere.

I'm in the middle of moving out. I do buy premium stuff but once I do, I'm very happy with the stuff that I have. In the long run I save a lot of money. I do plan on putting everything that I don't use in managed stocks for the next couple of years because the way how things are going I have little to no faith in having a pension fund when I retire.

Lottery of course. With money being invested at least in theory they would last longer. With large sums it is logical to make money work for you instead of just directly spending it.

Assuming you’re talking about ops 5k. 5k in stocks isn’t going to earn an income that will allow them to retire…
If you’re talking about the lotto winner, they don’t need to invest in anything and the money should last a few generations

Invest all of it into stable stocks, you would have quite high stable income for the rest of your life. You basically could spend the rest of of your life doing whatever you want instead of spending larger part of it at work.

>Azov Assault Brigade (Ukrainian: Штурмова бригада «Азов», romanized: Shturmova bryhada "Azov") is a formation of the National Guard of Ukraine formerly based in Mariupol, in the coastal region of the Sea of Azov, from which it derives its name. It was founded in May 2014 as Azov Battalion (Ukrainian: батальйон «Азов», romanized: Batalion "Azov"), a volunteer paramilitary militia under the command of Andriy Biletsky to fight pro-Russian forces in the Donbas War.

It doesn't tell the whole story though, especially that 'you're fucked' segment.
If you're a generally sensible person in your normal life, you have nothing to fear from winning a lot of money.
There's a lot of confirmation bias in the research in regards to lottery winners, because many don't go public with their win and are not studyable (is that a word?).
The ones that do go public, and are therefore able to be researched, generally tend to be the more stupid winners.
Because no one sane or clever, would tell the world they just won 700m dollars.
