It is nice to see someone that you can identify with make it big. I like to see the average person win the lottery because then I think that maybe it can happen to me. I would like the chance to live the good life while I have air to breath in these lungs. Who cares what he does with his winnings any way. When you have the title Lottery winner you can be as stupid or smart with your winnings as humanly possible. Hence the title Lottery winner.-weshar75 | | |

I say congarts to this man. Yes he has had some loose lips but the fact that he wants to HELP others and do something to help build the kingdom of THE LORD is going to be a bigger blessing for him that the 66 million that is now in his bank account. He is educated in the LORD it appears. You can't get more educated than that. | | |

Ironically it doesn't seem that the educated/prepared lottery players are the ones winning big most of the time, if any. Education also comes in many forms, some might say it is actually very intelligent not to allow lawyers, advisors, and financial planners win the lottery every time you do, and control your destiny. It is bad enough the IRS does. They all want you to assume you can't live without them, so they can jump on for the ride. Most will be fine provided they have enough sense to handle the funds. It is also quite easy to assume you would not run to lottery headquarters when you do not have a $66million dollar ticket in your house. That much money and the life that it could provide may make you do things you would have never thought. But it is very easy to remain calm and rational when your outside looking in. Chalk up another for QP's. Three nonetheless, that is painful to lottery players who use systems and play up to $100.
You know  I really really do. Yeah I think that if you dont feel that your responsible enough to handle it then seek some advice... But I of course would not go to the office on a sunday lol but I would be there bright and early the next opened day.. I look at it this way, we waited long enough to finally be a winner, why wait longer? I would love to be in his shoes!! Hey I would have done the same thing... just would not have made any EARLY USSUMPTIONS of what I would be doing with the money. Shoot its in the paper..... now days people will sue you for that when ya hit the lotto. Just keep your mouth shut get your check and RUNNNNNNNN  | | |

Exactly. It is not so much what you do, as what you tell everyone you will do. Jackpot paranoia is what feeds many of these so called professional leeches. Some are legitimate, but many look to capitalize off your big win. I would not say anything to anyone until the money was in my bank account. It is just sad that there are so many potential obstacles involved after beating such high odds. It is best to give very little or false information for your own protection at the press conference. That way no one has any leads to follow. I would love to win a record jackpot, however winning the jackpot the very next drawing after somebody else won the record jackpot, would be about as anonymous as you could get. No one is going to care about my measly $5 million after taxes after that. They will all be busy watching the record jackpot winners on Good Morning America, while I am slipping out the back door at lottery headquarters with my $5 million.

When you use systems....you are actually handicapping your chances to win....don't ask me why....it is just the way it is. Working a group of numbers is guranteed to keep the grand prize running away from you like a plagued. In playing the Lotto it doesn't play to be smart....cause you will outsmart yourself. It is simply the game design. Enjoy Mr Carson!!!...........unfortunately I have that uneasy feeling that this guy is going to end up on the news....and not for good. | | |

Over-analyzing jackpot games seems to be detrimental. I hope Shane's uneasy feelings about Mr. Carson's future are incorrect. I like the guy. May your day be prosperous ~

If there were more educated/prepared people playing the lotteries there would be more of them winning the jackpots. Educated/prepared people think playing lotteries is a waste of money so they have nobody but themselves to blame if they aren't winning more, besides the stock markets need players too. As for those system players spending a $100 per drawing, if they have that kind of money to waste they already have more money than they can handle. Lotteries aren't designed to make smart or dumb, educated or uneducated, rich or needy people richer, they are designed to make that lucky guy or lady with a dollar to spend on a lottery ticket richer and that could be almost anybody even me a system player. * THat which happens most *
* is most likely to happen again *

Sirbrad
I am financially astue and could handle that part w/o hiring a financial planner. How ever would defintly need lawyer to set up a trust to own the ticket between me and the kids. Also a question I have always had, that would need answered is, for tax purposes when do you incur the liability. For example if I hit in Dec 06 and don't claim till Jan 07 which year is my tax liability. Also I live in AL. If I win in TN can I sell my house in AL, establish TN residence before I claim and not owe a State income tax? Also what if I take the annuity pay the 1st year of AL tax and then move to a non income tax state? I rememeber something several years ago about Calif trying to tax retirement of people that had left the state. Yes I need a lawyer!!!!!!!!!! And if anyone has insight in to my questions I realize you are not providing leagal advise if you answer. | | |
