I'd say congrats and ask what's the first thing you did when the check cleared or wire came thru

The first thing I would ask is Can I have a thousand bucks, bro?

Dang, you took my reply!

I'd want to ask how the whole process went so I could know what to expect, but I think I'd instead ask what they know now that they wish they would have known while they were going through the claiming/waiting/collecting process.

Actually I'd just want to know if I could have a thousand dollars.. I will even walk the dogs.

The second thing I will ask later, when I am feeling much more controversial.

Thats was very generous of you. The rich sister needs to know that all the wealth is left on earth upon death. Its better to use it to help loved ones...

They are elderly women in their 70's, one is a multimillionaire, the sisters are scraping by on Social security, which isn't much, I bought them a bag of bread crumbed Cod, they were extremely grateful.

Its tough to witness such indifference among siblings. It must crush their mother's soul

haha do you know of one who won and abandoned her younger sisters? you sound like you know a story

Anyways I think my question would be how long they played and how they motivated themselves during the stormy days.

maybe I'd ask how long they have been playing, and will they continue to play ?

If they won w/ a QP I'd pull out the racing form and ask them to point out 3 horses in each race.

At the risk of bringing down the wrath of those who think/believe differently... If I were sitting down witha big winner, with the express purpose known that I was going to ask them a question... I would ask them if they are at peace with life now that they have won - and then Christ and Christ resurrected if they responded that they were not at peace...

then after that brief 'info session' i would (if they were people i knew) ask if they needed anything that i could help with (just cuz they... [ More ]

Don't care.....those are a dime a dozen and that doesnt mean their method would work for you...Either they picked numbers or the computer did...LOL....but as far as privacy goes I dont mean you just walk up at start asking a complete strangers about their finances....LOL You wouldnt do to anyone whether they won or not.....but if you saw them and said hey your that big winner from such and such..then get into specifics IF they were willing to discuss them with you....What would you ask them........

I would never work under the presumption a big jackpot winner has found someone trustworthy to handle their money. Jackpot winners are capable of choosing the wrong people just like anyone else. Just because a person won a big jackpot doesn't mean they have a better ability to pick financial advisors than you or me.

I agree DCBF...some people might get offended if you start asking personal questions about their money, especially if they don't know you from Adam's housecat.....

dallascowboyfan — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:19:35 GMT

I would respect their privacy. As far as finding someone trustworthy I would just go to the Powerball website click on the Powerball Jackpot winners contact the attorney's that represented the winners in Oklahoma.

C'mon B2B!! You mean you wouldn't ask them HOW (or if) they came about choosing the winning numbers first?? lol

I'd like to ask them how they went about finding someone trustworthy to handle their money....and how they broke it up etc....etc...
