well if you have ever seen the shows on the people that have hit the lotto more than once and are bankrupt I hope the first thing they do is put a good lawyer on retainer. The second would be to find a good financial planner.
Good luck to the young couple and I wish them nothing but happiness.
Congrats to him! What a blessing if he stays grounded.
He said he was going to use the jackpot to pay bills, LMAO, he has enough money to pay all of our bills. :) I couldn't even imagine, I wouldn't even go home and pack.:p
I don't begrudge the young couple but..........spending money on POWERBALL tickets when you have $27 in the bank is just assinine! That being said, I wish them much happiness.
I would generally agree with that, but in this case they now have $27 x 10,000,000 or so. For the rest that played with $27 in the bank - bad move. I dunno, though - I can count on both hands how many times I've played the lottery.Quote:

they havent even gotten the money yet and already have beggers comin outta the woodwork.
first thing to do is get the check and haul a$$! move somewhere new where nobody knows ya then hire a lawyer and financial advisor
Judging from the fact that they pulled the winning numbers Wed night and he claimed his prize as soon as the lottery office opened Thurs am, I'm guessing he didn't take the time to consult with a tax attorney beforehand, or set up a trust through which to claim the $, etc. Hopefully he pays his utility bills off, takes a deep breath, and then starts looking for some good advice.Quote:
