Do you think anyone in this group will take them up on the offer? I imagine so, especially if they have eaten at LJS, and I would venture to guess at least one of them has.

HAPPY WEDNESDAY 99

I am very pleased that the prize will indeed be shared among a group of people(working class) shall we say, who really need the money. It's nice to know that it's not just one single affluent indiviual, that's what concerned me, although, I feel that whoever wins, was intended to win, and deserves CONGRATS...But, it's just very nice to see people, who reallllllllyyyyyy need the funds get such an awesome opportunity.

I would never move out of Maryland, if I ever win anything. No Way....I would certainly purchase a couple of Summer Homes, and purchase Real Estate out of State, near the Beach, because I love the Water, but Maryland is my home, and it's my Foundation. I would certainly be able to call other places home ....but the 1ST HOME...will always be in Maryland. No matter where I lounge at the Beach, or take extended travel to.

HAPPY WEDNESDAY........

Actually, here in Maryland, the Attorney will happily create a Trust Fund for you and deposit the Prize winnings in there for you, and the winner never ever has to do a News Conference, if they don't care to. No one ever has to know who you are. The only info given to the public is the name of the Grocery Store or Liquor Store, where the ticket (s) were purchased. Your business relationship and rapor w/the Atty is what determines his fee. In other words, there is no... [ More ]

Whether or not the winner takes the offer, Long John Silver's has gotten publicity, maybe all they wanted in the first place.

Another company trying to jump on another bandwagon of someone who has lots of money. Perhaps they should also offer these endorsements to someone who could actually use the money. If I won even $30 million or more, the endorsement amount would mean nothing to me. Sure your name will be in the public for awhile, but endorsements such as these will make sure that you are MORE well known for a lot LONGER.

To some they may need, and crave the attention. Others simply do not care to create even

Actually, I live in Lincoln, where the winning ticket was sold, and the jackpot winners (the group of 7 employees from the nearby Cook's smoked-meat business) will hold a news conference tomorrow morning at 10:30 CST at the Cornhusker Marriott Hotel in downtown Lincoln.

I'm always amazed to see how brain-washed some republicans are. It's always republicans = good and Democrats = Bad . I'll never understand how anyone can just blindly follow ANY political party. Anyone that's willing to take a honest look at American politics will freely admit that there are some good republican lawmakers, but most are not, and there are some good democratic lawmakers, but most are not. And I can tell from this post that this particular republican has been brain-washed for a... [ More ]

I wonder how much a winner has to pay a lawyer to collect a lottery prize?

Any idea? anyone

The IRS doesn't care. They are going to get their their money no matter how it is divided. The guy with the smile will be the Lottery Director. The guy without the smile, will be the IRS Agent. The guy trying not to smile will be the Nebraska Tax Collector. The people waving their business cards? They are the vulltures wanting to help you spend the money.

LckyLary — Wed, 22 Feb 2006 02:15:09 GMT

I heard a rumor on the radio the winner may be a group of people. It's likely they are figuring out how to legally divide the prize and not get double-taxed.

Also.. I would love there to be some kind of meal named after a Powerball winner. I might even go the 100 miles to the nearest Long John Silver's (the last time I ate at one was in circa 1998!).. but it would be nice too if they had come out with a Jack Roll - a bacon biscuit like the ones they had only at the Super Serve that I never...

WRONG! The winner is a winner, and proud of it! Some one willing to step forward and take advantage of a situation. Not scared, no fear, doesn't need some one to speak for him. Get the money, have the money!! Tomorrow he begins being his own person, the first step shows he has what it takes to be rich! The timid, can continue hiding. Fear begets fear, only scardy cats want to perfect being fearfull.

Chewie — Tue, 21 Feb 2006 23:12:17 GMT

Doesn't matter any more. They are steping forward tomorow. No hesitating. Exactly how some one with money should act. Some one with BALLS! What a refreshing enlighment! NO burying of the head in the sand, only taking advantage of the moment! Now, we'll see who is right. Will the winner loose it all because they were capable of making a decision without waiting months? Or will the winner become a multi-millionaire immediately? An example of how to handle money is in the making

Hey! Beats being a spokes person for Preparation H or a Hygiene commercial! I get plum embarressed when I see the Lady in the charmin commercial who is rubbing the TP on her face to gesture how soft it is! Sorry but I think that product is to be used on other parts of the body!

I am plum eager to hear the winners story! I hope the winner is somewhat comical and ham's it up for the media! Why not be happy

There are many ways to not to expose yourself on a large scale. Time and patience is one thing. The rest I wouldn't expose. I might need it myself someday. From what I read in your posts its something you lack. It has been done before with very large jackpots.

the guy or wormen is probley too scared to come out of the house in fear that someone has found out. If i was him i would let the lawyer collect the money n try to keep a low profile.

petergrfn — Tue, 21 Feb 2006 20:21:11 GMT

Why not? As long as the commercial wasn't stupid and really cheesy I would do it. My reasons are that the media is going to make your face known no matter what so you might as well use that to your own advantage. Also since it will probably take at least 2 weeks to get money from the Powerball in your pocket, this would be a good chance to take a private jet to florida get away and make a few bucks. All no someone else's dime. If you didn't want to keep all the money use 50% while waiting... [ More ]

Why not ask the President or the VP, I hear they will do almost anything to make a buck. The VP's got his company all those no-bid contracts in Iraq and now the president allowing the Arabs to take over our nation's largest seaports.

I've hear it's the first million dollars that hard to get, the rest of 'em come easy and it must be true.

If you buy the concept of a soda machine playing football, or P-Diddly driving a Pepsi Truck, you'll buy into anything. I won't even go the Brittney or Paris Hilton route. It is what America is all about. Being stupid, and making money at it.

Yeah and then, the lottery winner can have a cameo appearance on an episode of Lost not to mention be one of the contestants on The Apprentice or maybe get a huge shoe contract from nike !!!!!

How do you hide three hundred sixty-five million dollars from the publice - when the world wants to know? Ever heard of leaks? The world will know your name! No doubt about it. How many commercial ad-people have you seen walking through the supermarket you shop at? You wouldn't recognize Jack if he was sitting at the end of the bar.

More money because you're known? Why not? You plan to invest your winnings don't you?

Sheesh

The winner also would be given VIP treatment and flown by private plane to Long John Silver's headquarters to meet Davis and other company executives.

If I just won about $125-130 million (cash option), I will buy my own private plane. Thanks but no thanks. I don't want more PR than I am already getting.

That would be a great endorsement for the winner. However, I don't want to see the winner have financial problems. Also, get an education while you can for the winner if it's a young person.

This is great news! Hopefully, the new winner has a business savvyness about them to undertsand they couldn't keep their name out of the media anyway with such a large jackpot win, so they should just strap in, and ride the wave. They are now in position to earn money even before they ink the deal.

Money has a way of earning more money. If they pitch this right and stay clean, there's more to come.

Long John Silver's asks unknown lottery winner to become national spokesperson for new meal

Although yet to be identified, the newest millionaire in the U.S. has already received a first commercial endorsement offer.

In an unprecedented move, Long John Silver's wants the winner of the largest-ever lottery to be the company's official spokesperson for its new Buttered Lobster Bites.
