Is it worth going to an anonymous state?Reply
trust parties can remain anonymous, it's not a matter of public record.a personal property trust (the one best suited to claiming a lottery win) is an asset protection document. The IRS knows who you are for tax purposes, they don't post that info anywhere. The trust is a cleverly worded document that needs no further action than the stamp of a notary to execute. Grantor/Trustee/Beneficiary info is not a matter of public record either.Owners of multiple rental properties utilize the personal pro

Lottery winner cries foulReply

Should criminals collect jackpots?Reply
Litebets - I never injected my opinion. Once again, let me explain to you that I merely listed a point that would be an arguement for not allowing felons to play lotto. Jamal Lewis is in the NFL, he is not a lotto winner and I have no problem staring my opinion that Jamal Lewis does not belong in the NFL. I NEVER stated an opinion one way or the other on this subject, I listed Jamal Lewis as a point to start the topic. For example, pros and cons. The best way to start a topic is with examples. I

A must read and Cash didn't write itReply
I think you have to think of the lump sum as THE jackpot; the annuity is a bit of an illusion to make the real jackpot seem bigger and sell more tickets. The annuity is the state investing the jackpot for you. If you took the lump sum, presumably you would be investing a lot of it too, but after having paid 40+% in taxes and expenses. It's actually hard to know what to take, because having the state invest the money for you may pay better, but you never know what the future may hold and 25 yea

Forming a Trust... any links to info?Reply
I believe I found the answer...A Personal Property Trust . It is of the intravivos revocable type. It is similar to the Land Trust that Real Estate investors who own multiple rental properties use to limit their liability in a tennant lawsuit to just the one property.You can form the trust well in advance of winning, for $1 if you want and add assets as they are acquired. With this type of trust, you can make yourself the Grantor, the Trustee AND the Beneficiary. Name a spouse as Successor Tr

Really messed up things that News Anchors have done to Lottery Winners? :/Reply
Smells fishy. If the property belonged to them its trespassing, and B E if he entered the house. Being a newsperson doesn't give him any special rights. Owning the property would also allow them to use the old address in the lawsuit which has to be filed in the county where the grievance occurred. Or they could file in federal court claiming a violation of civil rights. But who tipped the newsperson off to who they were and where they lived?

If you won big - would you take the cash option or annuity?Reply
Cash without any doubts. Lawyer up to protect your new found wealth from every frivolous lawsuit or frivolous friend or family member that suddenly realizes you exist. Lawyer up to protect you from yourself with rules about never dipping into principal for example. Don't go for lotto lawyers, obviously. Two well established estate law firms with a double blind trust is what I understand is your best bet.
