I mentioned in another thread, that he is still living in a hotel, and never goes outside. Afraid for his life. Him and his brother locked ina suite, smoking cigarette after cigarette. He was aloser before he won, and appears to still be a loser - just a rich loser! He wife took half the money and left the country, and he is afraid to pee! Sheeesh! He was better off on welfare.

I don't know what your definition of really big jackpots is, but I think most of the 2005 MM payouts qualify:

December 2005 88 million in California

November 2005 315 million in California

November 2005 35 million in California Michigan

September 2005 250 million in New Jersey

July 2005 170 million in Ohio

April 2005 205 million in Michigan

March 2005 112 million in Texas

January 2005 130 million in Georgia

We have to go all the way back to Novembe... [ More ]

It seems to me the really big jackpots are won in either Ohio, or Illinois. I live in NY, I notice at least one a week someone in the state will win second prize. NY state has never had a winner in a big jackpot. Has anyone else notice this trend

That may be true for that particular winner, but it's not engraved in concrete for everyone or in every state. You should check w/your personal attys, as well as the lottery office in your State.

One more thing, all five attorney's that the lottery recommended told them that they would have to charge the winner Two-Hundred thousand plus to handle the documents and for filing charges.( to tell me how to spend my money ).

Do you mind telling us what documents and services would have been included for this $200,000? More than one trust? How much money management? I've read that hiring a personal money manager can often range from 1 - 1 3/4% of estate assets pe... [ More ]

I agee with most of you about taking the money and run.Don't hang around too long, you will have people knocking on your door you don't even know.I won the lottery June 26, 2004, and i had my bags packed a week before.The only people that knew was my immediate family and the farmer i gave my farm to. My family knows if they talk, then they go back to work.It's not too hard and real easy to understand.One more thing, all five attorney's that the lottery recommended told them that they would have...

I've got no reason to think the info in the article is accurate, but if somebody called the lottery office to ask about a blind trust and that person really is the winner's lawyer, I think we may have our first clue that the winner isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, or at least they're not good at picking lawyers or financial advisors. The "questions about setting up a blind trust" might really just be questions about the rules for a prize being claimed by a trust, but why would they want it... [ More ]

I am convinced, the date of the actual transfer doesn't matter. I firmly believe I can use the publicity to get an advance from any bank in America! One hundred million dollars may not be their biggest deposit, but it would get their attention. A couple of million advance, with a signed contract to let them manage my money. Knowing the greed of the banking industry, they will be willing to negotiate! That sould take about an hour - then I get into my Shadow costume and slink away into the d... [ More ]

Just an (fyi)....in some States, the only records revealing the winner, is the Internal Revenue Service....In those states the ticket holder is never obligated to do anything, with their $$$$$$$ outside of paying 'UNCLE SAM'.....

As ususal I concurr w/most of your statement here.. Chewie If I should ever be so fortunate, I want fst to know, when the $$$$$$$$$$$$$ will be electronically deposited to my account, so that my Atty can arrange everything w/my Banks....I don't mind going public as long as the $$$$$$$ is deposited the morning I am to go public...If I have to wait 30dys for the prize, then everyone can wait 30dys for me to go public.... if I decide not to go public at all, my wonderful blood sucking leeches...

HAPPY SATURDAY.....TO EVERYONE....3/4/2006

I needed to come into the Library today....to do some work related research and as ususal I am having fun just reading the postings....llololololololololol....

I can believe that whoever the winner is they probably read our postings as well, and have learned a great deal from all of us. Just reading our opinions is a lesson. It would appear that for some people, or perhaps most, winning BIG PRIZES is 'bittersweet because they are well known in th... [ More ]

Win the lottery. ohhhhh.... I forgot to do that first.

my quote to anyone who came around after I won would be:

Where were you when I was poor?

They might answer I would have shared with you if I hd won. Answer back with Well I guess I'm not as nice a person as you thought I was. You're a better (man, woman) than me.

People who are your real friends will still be there for you whether or not you gave them money. Only help those who were there for you and within reasonable lim... [ More ]

You can find a temporary house in ten seconds on the internet - they're call hotels. Doesn't your bank offer a non-fee credit card? Get one, buy something every year under $50.00 that you would normally have paid cash for - to keep it active. Pay it off! Put the card in the third level underwear drawer, where you keep the underwear you KNOW you should have thrown away years ago. Win lottery. Use card to hide for a few weeks in the middle of Little Rock AR! No one would be looking in Littl... [ More ]

Every time there is another article printed it just brings more attention to the winner, so I guess the best thing is to get it over with as soon as possible, but many people want to make plans before claiming the money. All jokes aside, I certainly would find it difficult to sleep at night in my place once my name and picture were in the news so I'd first find temporary housing if I couldn't buy a home right away. I know I've often written that people shouldn't be so paranoid about having so mu... [ More ]

Oh where, oh where can my lotto ticket be?

Oh where, Oh where can it be!?

Oh where, oh where can my lotto ticket?

Maybe under my bed, or in the closet, let's see,

Oh where, oh where can it be?

Only in Louisiana will a lotto ticket be under bed,

In Ohio ,it is in the sea.

That is where the little lotto ticket might very well be.

In the sea, the deep, deep sea, will the finder of the lotto ticket be led.

I say the dog ate the ticket, just for spite!

All jesting aside, The ticket holder is obligated to go public its not a given to keep this news from ever being recorded. Somewhere records have to show the claimant. The question is: To what extent and what form of media will this first be announced, the radio, tv, or the internet. Whatever the outcome is, I pray the person (s) are getting proper financial counseling and taking measures to secure their families.

Weeellllll. we now no one thing. It was NOT a pool that won!. You could never find two or more people who could keep their mouths shut for a week! Hell, that recent family winner couldn't even keep a family secret, no way you can keep a pool quite. The little brat was on the internet in just three days, and the lawn keeper didn't last that long.

Now we stand around and discover the sole winners decision making capabilities. Unless, of course, they lost the ticket. That would be the ulti... [ More ]

i work in the hospital across the street from this bar and even the people in the hospital are asking for money and things.its wasn't a whole lot of money but still it shows you what some people are about.so i guess a long trip would be instore for me.i still don't know wye in the world would anyone want to go on tv to tell the world you just won big bucks.i would like to hear some ideas on this from the members on here.

i would get a lawyer and a financial planner together and then go into hiding from everone.i won some money in this years superbowl pool in the final and i have so many people asking for money or drinks in the bar that the football pool was held.some people i dont even know are asking for me to buy them lunch.so maybe this was a training excersise for when i hit the big one.

Good for them, if they can pull it off and not be public. Its worth a shot. If they can't I would hold one press conference and vanish in thin air

Mega Millions Jackpot Winner Still Unknown

Lottery Post — Fri, 03 Mar 2006 21:07:21 GMT

There's a mega mystery surrounding the Mega Millions jackpot.

There is still no word from northwest Ohio town of Lyons. Everyone has been waiting to find out who is the winner of this week's Mega Millions Jackpot, but that person may not want their identity revealed.

Whoever won is obviously a very private person and is smart about it, said Annie Barden, a Lyons resident. I completely would do the same thing. You'd have friends you never knew; people would be knocking on your door.... [ More ]
