I know all about Whitaker since my dad was a WVian. The trick, he told me, was to move to where that level of wealth isn't noticed. Whitaker's problem was that he stayed in WV. As my dad said, "Giving a WVian a hundred million dollars is like giving a monkey a shotgun; if he don't kill himself, he gonna kill someone."

I wouldn’t tell anyone. If it was made public, I’d try to hide it well and travel. Come back and pretend I pissed it all away.

If that seems to not be thought out, I’ll live like I’m in quarantine, but with tons of money.

Edit to add: I have a list of people in my life who have made the good days and bad richer, and charities that have made the world a much better place. Realistically, if I did win the lottery, I’d anonymously pay back and pay forward the kindness that has been shown to me. There have been days I’ve been in a bad place, where others have carried me. If you do win the lottery, or just have some investments come through,please consider helping out some of the worthy causes out there.

People do not understand money.

Lowest Powerball/Mega jackpot is 20 million. After taxes and everything that is a take home of about 8 million.

Put that in a safe but low return investment, like Federal Bonds, and you could probably manage 3% interest annually.

I don’t know about you, but I could live a VERY comfortable life on 240k a year.
