Eastern Time (GMT-5:00) | You just won a huge lottery jackpot! Now what?
PA United States Member #66139 October 16, 2008 1998 Posts Offline | $2.2 Billion American dollars will revolutionize my life. I think that I will hire a CFP Certified Financial Planner first. He or She can then help me with hiring the rest of my team. There are certain questions I have for the CFP. How are you paid? What will I get for my money? Will you assist me in finding the other members of my team? Can you keep secrets? A "CFP" bankrupted my mother's life insurance policy by just ignoring it .................. He got fired and my mom has no life insurance at age 94 Be Careful dpoly1 - Playing the lottery to save the jobs of those that build, transport, sell & maintain luxury items! - Eschew Poverty ...........

Fresno, California United States Member #157849 August 2, 2014 3959 Posts Offline | A "CFP" bankrupted my mother's life insurance policy by just ignoring it .................. He got fired and my mom has no life insurance at age 94 Be Careful I might guess that there are ways to do background checks on CFPs. Could your Mom have been able to cash in her policy at this time? That is a loss. She might have been planning on leaving it to family members as an inheritance as well. A winner of these two jackpots will be able to hire enough detectives and financial help as he or she needs. "We are all in this together!" | | |

California United States Member #180563 March 13, 2017 5488 Posts Offline | Here in California, we will wait six to eight weeks to get the check. A good time for a vacation. I am sure that a bank or credit union will loan you enough to get you through your time on vacation. Problems? Refer them to your team. Need Security? Bodyguards? Ask your team for help.

Austin United States Member #191202 July 21, 2018 102 Posts Offline | I agree! I will plan once I have checked and recheck the ticket. I would send a copy to 1 sibling to verify that my eyes weren’t crossed. Don’t know where I would go for relaxation! | | |

White Shores- California United States Member #136471 December 12, 2012 6799 Posts Offline | I already have my plan All I need is the big jackpot Never share anything about your plan! 
 ..No one needs to know anything about you or your plans. I could always tell my attorneys to say that me, the winner is both shy and frail. Weighing less than 100lbs, l fear that going public, could get me bodyslammed.

$89,795,622.27 billybob1185, Are you saying that John and Lisa Robinson who won one-third of the former record jackpot could have claimed anonymously? They were ill-served by their lawyer. I know that a winner of this jackpot should interview three lawyers/attorneys, three financial planners, and three accountants. The winner will have the time and funds to do this. The California Lottery "Winners Handbook" has some good ideas and contact information. These are lottery dreams that we rarely have. Enjoy them! "We are all in this together!" | | |

$89,795,622.27 Billy, 2 things happened there. First and foremost, they kept quiet and second, they contacted an attorney who drew up the Trust paperwork for them. If you check the Tennessee Lottery website's FAQ, there is a subsection that is in purple that has " I WON, NOW WHAT", click on that and the 3rd question down says," Can a group of people share a prize?"...."Yes, Lottery prizes can be shared" It further states in that paragraph, " The check can be issued to an individual, corporation, organization, partnership,trust, or estate. Any non-individual claim must provide documentation of authority to the TEL before the prize is paid. The TEL will accept IRS Form 5754 if a group of individuals is claiming the prize." http://www.tnlottery.com/faq/i-won My suggestion is you contact a firm whose specialties are wills, trusts and estates. Perhaps near Nashville, Knoxville, or Memphis would be the best place to start. Also consider looking under Super Lawyers and type in "lotteries" when you search that site.

Music, that is correct. Why on earth they went public and did the interviews is beyond me. To each his own Integrity: There is no substitute.

To each his own They did that on the advice of their lawyer, one who had previously represented two other lottery winners. (he bills himself as "The Lottery Lawyer") I think his motive was clear. | | |

That is the first website of a Legal Firm, I have seen, that talks about being on national TV so much and a running blog about lottery results.  Integrity: There is no substitute.

Florida United States Member #167021 June 22, 2015 36 Posts Offline | Yes, great post, nice to have all the specifics in one place. Thank you so much. Just hope I get to use that advice some day  I'd have flights booked for right after the press conference and head off for at least 2 months, to Australia. Before then, I'd have outfitted my house with monitored security because I wouldn't be surprised if we got broken into by nefarious types. Maybe I'm cynical, but I wouldn't trust people much after such a huge win. Not even family. Too many stories of family members going feral at their lottery-winning family members, even plotting to kill them. | | |
