    Shiiiiiiiiiit if I have $400m overnight, it'd be pointless to try to keep it a huge secret. There'd be so many signs that I'd just be lying all the time.

    Probably not possible to keep from someone you’re paying child support to.

    Yes, people would question all the shoes and Jeeps you'd buy.

    But honestly it wouldn't really be that hard, especially if you moved. Just say you're in real estate or something.

    I don't think I'd move tbh. All of our friends and my parents are here. I'd have a couple "small" places in like Asheville and Colorado, like $1m a piece max, and we'd travel a lot. I'd probably hire my kid's teacher to travel with us, she's awesome. I just don't see the point in keeping it a huge secret. My close friends would know either way and I couldn't care less what people I barely know think. Hell I'd have a thread on TMB within 12 hours of winning. I know I'd have people asking for shit but I'm an adult, I can say no. Most of that would be from people that aren't even close friends so it's easy to tell them to buzz off.

    Dude got $400m and he's suing her for a large amount. Fuck that guy.

    "He is also seeking compensatory damages “in an amount to be determined at trial, but no less than $100,000 per unauthorized disclosure,” according to the lawsuit."

    Definitely not legal. Not possible because lottery reports to IRS so court will see it as income if they ever look at it. I guess you can try to bribe people to ignore it.

    Easy thing to say is you hit it big in crypto.

    Most people have no clue what it means. The ones who do know it’s possible and you probably won’t tell them how anyways.

    I think you’re underestimating what a terrible father could do with hundreds of millions of dollars. Dip out to Mexico and never return. Voila - no child support payments.

    26 year old me and 46 year old me have way different lists of "things i'd do if i won powerball." Now I'd build a dope school or some shit and then just start giving money away left and right.

    Played the $94M Powerball instead because there will be fewer people playing and obviously that makes my odds better because that's how it works.

    Also I'm not greedy. $27M cash is enough where I can almost retire

    I usually buy a ticket for the one of the first 3 draws after someone wins the big pot. You and I are in the same mindset. However anything below $50 million, I would take the annuity payments.

    Trying to stay under the radar so I'm not hounded by old "friends", "cousins", and whatnot

    Once I get my LLC set up I'll make my claim and quietly make the move to my winter home in the South Pacific. I won't say exactly where because you people can't be trusted.
