as far as taxes it reads they have 60 days to choose 101 million or the 30 payments over 30 years. so its already infering that the taxes w.e amount maybe to be taking out. and that gives them almost a full year for irs to decide to keep all of taxes or one big refund check

Andrew Weber is just the attorney/trustee. Like in Houston, when attorney Manfred Sternberg was the trustee for two different winners. One for a $24m Lotto Texas win and another for a $10m Lotto Texas win.

I mean, it's possible he's the winner, his firm does have an office in Fort Worth, but I'd be willing to be that once the money is paid out and the trust has done it's job, it will be dissolved and all ties he has with the lottery winner are gone.

Is there y convenient trust/corp/llc online registry?

When I googled TL Trust Management I found an australian company, it can't possibly that complicated a net

Congratulations, TL Management Trust/Andrew Weber, Trustee of Austin ... on your exciting jackpot win.

Does anyone know if most/all of the 3 jackpot winning tickets were full quick picks

Well, ttech10, every 6 months or so, keep browsing the info provided in this article: Andrew Weber, Trustee of Austin claimed the $127,046,150.05 Cash Value Option prize from the $564.1 million jackpot at Texas Lottery headquarters in Austin Friday. and you shall see how Andrew (the jackpot winner?) has fared.

Proud whenever I see smart winners. The trust method works almost the same as anonymity, so I'm surprised so many people who live in states that allow it don't take advantage. Look at all the other trusts/LLCs that have claimed in Texas and I don't ever recall hearing about them later down the road.

- However I have no idea whether Churches play the lottery or not.Until they pull it off, EVERY winner will have 25% Fed Taxes taken out TGG.

Danged straight! Some stranger starts stalking me, and I fear for my life...

Congrats to this Texas winner!! And thank you to the Texas winner for showing us how to collect this the right way.

This is good to know these details here in Texas.. trust, trustee showing up, limited publicity. I knew about the limited publicity and claiming in a trust, but was unaware how initially anonymous it could be here. Anyone can search public records to come up with the beneficiaries of... [ More ]

501 (c) in the tax law allows fed exemption. ie, churches would be an example.

May this winner and its family enjoy the prosperity gained.

l don't know if one has permission to use deadly Force because of being stalked RJ- l can just picture Paparazzi bodies littered on sidewalks from Actors/ Actresses who would claim to having a valid reason for using DF because of being stalked. .

RJOh — Sun, 08 Mar 2015 05:32:57 GMT

That good because if someone shows up at your door asking for a share of your lottery winnings you know they have stalked you and you may have the right to use deadly force to defend yourself.

Choosing to claim the prize through a Trust does NOT mean that people will not/ cannot find out who the winner is.Freedom of information is alive and well in Texas out here in CA. If people want to dig- they will come up with the name of the winner.

noise-gate — Sun, 08 Mar 2015 05:03:56 GMT

Every lottery jackpot winner has the 25% Fed tax taken out before they see any of their money .There is absolutely NO WAY to avoid not paying it.

Yes you can use an Trustee , that's another way you don't have to show your face .

Something to think about

How about this smart winner, choosing to set up a trust in Texas.

This winner is already starting out on the right track.

I wonder why you are bringing up a subject that is not mentioned anywhere in this story.

Very smart move having a Trust claim the money. And they even kept quiet about it until the ticket was turned in. Are you reading this North Carolina girl, mother of four? (probably not; too busy giving interviews

No mention of taxes though

http://www.ibtimes.com/powerball-puerto-rico-why-its-legal-win-there-1814786 This issue of Puerto Rico winning a 3rd. of the PB jackpot, has generated a lot of hysteria on twitter and elsewhere. Some members of the dept. of revenue in PR, are not even sure if they are supposed to withhold fed. income tax on this windfall, since PR is exempt from fed income tax. The beat goes on and on.

mypiemaster — Sat, 07 Mar 2015 20:06:16 GMT

Can you please show us where it says that they claimed anonymously since I totally missed it. Did they avoid the initial 25% fed tax withholding?.

Wonder how fast the money will get eaten up from either the healthcare fine, or health insurance.

I agree it was a good move on their part. Congratulations to the members of the trust enjoy your wealth.

So only the NC winner came forth both before validating the ticket as well as afterward. I hope she has moved from her previous residence

Final share? Has the winner from Puerto Rico claimed as well? I must have missed that story.

$127 million paid out to Austin trust to avoid publicity. Looks like winners really don't want the media to plaster their face and name and everything every where.
