    The winner of this jackpot will net, after taxes, roughly half of the combined estimated family income of all of Laurens County, SC from last year.

    the median income of gray court is $31,000. the town has 800 people. this winner is going to be at least ten times richer than the entire town combined

    A friend of mine is saying he heard it was won by the wait staff at a Charleston restaurant. No idea how he would know that though.

    The restaurant he said was My Uncle's Moustache or something like that. This friend has no connection to Charleston though and is often the "I've got a scoop" guy even though he truly doesn't.

    Seriously - would you rather win this jackpot ($500 million - ish) publicly or just wake up tomorrow and have a cool $5 million deposited in your bank account (low-key, nobody knows but you)?

    SC allows you to claim anonymously so as long as the winner is smart enough to be discreet and hire an estate planning lawyer and create a trust to claim the money he should be able to stay relatively anonymous.

    Although it appears the person is not that smart because they are from rural upstate SC.

    $500,000,000 publically 100 times out of 100. Not even a question. It would suck to have people coming at you all the time but the difference in those numbers is monumental.

    Plus that's only around where you live. You can go 40 miles away from home and no one is going to know who you are. Its not like youre a celeb and will be recognized every where you go.

    I get it - The numbers I used are probably too far to the extreme. However, I think some people are overlooking the (documented) torment of being a non-anonymous lottery winner....

    Just one example:

    You’re now SIGNIFICANTLY more likely to be the victim of:

    • Drug overdose
    • Bankruptcy
    • Kidnapping
    • Convicted of drunk driving
    • A defendant in a civil lawsuit
    • A defendant in a felony criminal proceeding
    • Homicide (20x more likely than average)
    • Homicide at the hands of a family member (120x more likely than average)

    Also, the state government had already built the 61 million tax into the budget, so if he doesn't pop up to claim it, the budget will be short 61 million.
