I wonder if I could cash it and bury it? hmm. you wouldn’t gain interest
but taxes combined with inflation take a big hit.

Here’s my list if I were to win:
1.Have a big party.
2.Tell people who “coincidentally” appear in my life suddenly, “Funny how
you’re showing up now. Where were you before I were rich?”
3.Have a custom built gaming chair with a titanium alloy frame and thick
and sturdy memory foam so it would be way firmer than a memory foam pillow
to account for body weight while lasting forever and being super
comfortable.
4.Buy a carbon fiber bike.
5.Donate to endangered species charities like ones for lions, elephants,
koalas, and such while also giving to preserve national parks.
6.Franchise for a stable consistent income so yeah buying assets is
important while keeping my liabilities in check.
7.Start my own animation studio with professional writers to weed out some
flaws I don’t even recognize as such out of my scripts and cartoonists
talented enough to consistently replicate the style of animation I’m going
for. It’s a simple style and maybe it’s even better done with something
like Flash but it needs to be unique enough to avoid criticisms of being
trite and unoriginal but not so unique it gets criticized as weird or
trying too hard (like Future Worm and Regular Show may even cross the line
in places like the talking gumball machine head guy).
8.Buy pets, like a golden retriever, llama, and iguana.
9.Buy a reasonably sized house for my new income bracket so the house
itself isn’t a liability. I’d deck it out with solar panels, have a gaming
room, and walk in closet though but not a pool or bar.
10.Moot since I’m not bad enough at math to play the lottery in the first
place. Seriously if I play the lottery everyday that’s $365 worth of
tickets, which obviously adds up and could be a nice chair or piece of
hardware.

I heard this story once of someone who won a 312 million jackpot, but
refused the money due to fear of getting killed for the money and his life
getting ruined. At some point, one needs to ask themselves if its worth it.
Also I think that it is really ridiculous that the winner gets their name,
age and location announced upon winning.

In the state of Washington, they hold your winnings for up to 180 days.
This means you have roughly six months to claim your prize before they keep
it. I hope this helps.

(1) Do not tell ANYONE. {Agree 110%}
(2) Wait? Ummm, No. {If i win tonight, i am driving down to the place where
they give me the winning check tomorrow morning.}
(3) You can act different, its ok. If your friends or alike start pondering
why you are acting different. Just tell them you met a girl and your in
love. If your already married, tell them you met a hooker and fell in love.
(4) Safety Deposit Box. Ummm, no. Once again, no. You win today, you go get
your cash tomorrow. Worst case scenario, you keep you ticket safe at home
with you and call off work. Say your sick and cannot come to work for a few
days. Stay at home with your ticket and then go cash in. You do not need to
do all this 007 James Bond spy shit.
(5) Lawyer? Get a lawyer when someone takes your ass to court on some BS
lawsuit. Till that happens, just get a decent lawyer by paying $1000
thousand up front as a retainer fee and you have a lawyer when you need
him. Dont tell lawyer that your a winner.
(6)# 5 from the vid list I agree.
Contact Financial Planner?? Not going to pay someone to tell me how to
spend my money. If I want to blow my cash on bunch of stupid material
things till i go broke, so be it. Just saying. Also, when you win millions,
no need to invest it in some businesses to make more money? Are you fucking
that greedy. Just spend your cash and enjoy life.
#3 from the list of paying off debt. Correct. Pay of all debt you own and
be debt free. pay off and cancel all credit cards etc. you pay with cash
and bank card from now on. No more monthly payments and owing anyone.
MOVE AWAY. You got that correct. My ass is moving to a whole different
country . Goodbye USA, we shall meet again when I have spent every penny of
my lottery and then I shall return.
