http://www.fox13news.com/consumer/hit-the-lottery-remain-anonymous-not-in-florida As a government-run entity, the lottery says state law requires it to disclose a jackpot winner's name, city of residence, game won, date won, and amount won to any third party that requests the information. It's a public record, essentially.
That's why before you cash the ticket, you create some corporation called "Not A Lottery Winner Inc." and have your lawyer put his name on it.
If I win, I pledge to turn TMB Island into a reality, cover the cost of operating the site, and (most importantly) make devine a moderator.
I wouldn't be comfortable getting that amount of money, I would give 85% of it to friends, family, and charity. I also might, in the great tradition of this country, buy myself a politician.
$369,648,000 in the commonwealth of Virginia after lump sum and taxes. https://www.usamega.com/mega-millions-jackpot.asp
Last thing I saw was they were estimating 1.4 by Friday now. That's a cool $650 million lump sum, after taxes here in TN.
Hey that extra 10 million (after my fee) could mean the difference between 1 Bugatti and 10 buggatis.
It is kind of crazy to look at those options and realize you'd lose almost 600 million from the jackpot.
You'd get it all back (and then some) if you invest it properly, even if you live well for the rest of your life.
Lump sum 100/100 times. I want to be able to do whatever I want from day 1. Not wait on payments every year.
Also you could invest half of it and blow the rest and still have more money in the end than you would with payments.
Been asking this hypothetical question of people so I'll open it up to TMB. If you won $300,000,000+ and your financial advisors said you should build your dream house somewhere, what interesting or uncommon feature and amenities would you design into your house? For instance, golfers would want a golf simulator, putting green, perhaps a driving range. I'm not a big bowler but I'd like to have a couple lanes in my basement or something that my friends and I could fuck around on when hanging out. What about you?
That's just normal wealthy person shit. With that kind of money you would have the "Japan" from Epcot in your back yard
Indoor and outdoor shooting ranges. Huge ass theater room but thats not really uncommon. I like your bowling alley idea. Maybe a mini version of top golf? Definitely some bad ass video games, like VR type ones .
An ice rink. My wife loves ice skating but all public skating spots around here are always packed when they have open skates so a private rink would be nice.
Think I'll also get an ice rink for my wife. I'll build it at her house bc I'm trading her in for a younger model and paying my kids to not be mad about it
