Look up Mainz investments and see what you find.

I'd pull a Fletch on them, telling everyone something different. I might tell one I sold shares in a mule train, tell someone really nosey - and didn't like them or cared what they thought of me - that I bilked old ladies out of their pensions, others that I directed porn videos or that I synthesized elbow grease. I might tell them I was a professional slacker, saying in my best Blanche DuBois voice I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.

Here's one for all you single people, buy your nice house, than rent an apartment for a year. Why you ask? For when you start dating. Don't let people know that you have a lot$$$$$. They should date you for you and not your money.

I hear that from stories I read too. It seems like lottery money is neither old or new money, somewhere in the netherworld.

If anyone asks me point blank what I did, I'll tell them I won the lottery. I suck at lying. If they ask me for money later on, I'll tell them to get lost.

Being a millionaire and living in a new city will mean you have new friends. Most likely you will meet them in yacht clubs, country clubs, etc. Money to them will be nothing new. Best answer would be to say you invest. But one thing I would like to do when I win is quit my job, once my financial situation is stablized, I would work part time in the mall, maybe 2 or 3 days a week, 4-5hrs a day and I will drive the train around in the mall for the kids.

So let's say you win the Powerball Jackpot tonight. Life is exciting, you claim your prize, spend the next couple months getting your finances together.

It's 4 years later you've moved to a new city. You have millions, no one knows you won.

What do you tell people you do for a living when they ask? What do you tell friends when they ask what you do?

To say none of your business invites suspicion. Do you say you own a business, invested well? Inherted money
