I disagree with a lot of these steps....the very first thing you should do besides take a picture of the ticket and place it in a safe and protected place, is to create a trust and have the trust accept the winnings which will keep your name out of the newspapers and news and provide some level of protection of your identity.

I won substantial amount 6 years ago. I did most of theses steps. * organized team, tax attorney to start. * lump sum * won in October, claimed Jan of next year. This delayed paying taxes longer. Held principle longer, earned more. * kept investments lean and conservative. Worked out to about 7% annually. * once established. Over a year later, worked on blind trusts and other products related to giving money away. This was by far the most time consuming. It is a big job to give money away correctly. * fortunately I live in state with no state income tax. 6 years later, the principal has grown substantially and the “the. Machine” as I call it hums along nicely. I have made over 20 friends and family millionaires in the last 6 years as well. All with the gains. Much needed to be learned.

I disagree. Don't tell your spouse until all your I's are dotted and your T's are crossed. I heard a story about a women winning the lottery. She immediately told her husband she wanted a divorce and she didn't tell him she won. She was going to keep all of it. If she knows you won and she was ready to leave you then once the money is in hand she will be off to the races. I thought it was funny but it could be true.

Why hide before you've even claimed the prize? #1 Find a financial lawyer. You can set up an LLC in Delaware and have it claim the prize. If you claim the prize through an LLC registered in Delaware the state does not require the release of information as to owns the LLC, so that protects you from being exposed as the winner. #2 Don't start immediately spending tons of money that people think you don't have. #3 don't even tell your relatives you won. If they didn't like you before you want they were like you after, they will pretend they do.

Compared to tax pitfalls & sudden wealth syndrome, they're practically trivial.

If you have a winning ticket and gotten a reputable set of advisor one of them would arrange a bridge loan or loan it from their firm simply to ensure you kept them retained. The cost of all this could be done for 10k or less. And you only need to move when you start telling people which shouldn't be done til the money is in the bank anyway.

I thought the very first thing to do is to sign your ticket on the back signature panel. Also, I gotta say, I'm not sure how I feel about a safety deposit box. There is just something about me separating myself from the ticket that just doesn't sit well.

Definitely putting the ticket somewhere safe is important. Some people might not trust keeping it away from them, but others might accidentally lose it too. Definitely however talk to a lawyer (don't tell them you got the big winning ticket but a sizeable one is ok, like all but 1 number off), see if its legal to create a trust or LLC or something to accept the money in your stead and the lawyer can accept the winnings on your behalf. You definitely want to possibly avoid having your name and face plastered all over the place.

Great info. Thanks so much 🙏

Great tips. Thank you.

The most important question he did not answer: do you sign the ticket in your name before you claim the ticket? Or wait till you form a living trust or an LLC or both? Very important questions that should have been answered. Otherwise these steps are spot on!!!!

Best advice is to use multiple sources of information, including this one, to determine your first key steps if you win. Write it down in a journal to use as a roadmap for your emotional, overwhelmed future self to follow.

Day 90 go off the grid , let media get tired of looking for the winner, and the hype goes away, then let attorney pick up check in your trust name.

screw tjhat when you get all the advisors hired and trust formed. winnings in the bank then pay the taxes hold back the federal taxes they dont take out right away-invest those in t-bills so you make 5% or so until those taxes come due. Now you take 10% of your net winnings and thats your blow it money and money you buy mom a house or pay off the place she wont leave. The remaining money you just travel on-those advisors have your number. Anyone needs to call you they leave a msg at the lawyer who passes it on to you.

The easiest way to get funds to your families is to process the money as s loan. No taxes on borrowed money.

Just came across your KZread pod cast … your 10 points are just pure common sense, that I’ve been recommending to my tax clients for 15 years. The 10 points is intended for situational awareness & start thinking about some sort of plan ( most of my customers have incomes ranging from $12,000 to $50,000 yearly … folks who have no clue how the rich got and keep their money ). 2 points I disagree with are a) Do not say anything until you have a plan in place with lawyer & finance planners. b) Do not say anything until 30-60 days after the lottery so some of the immediate excitement of the winning cools off in the media

I agree with almost everything except the rental of a safe deposit box. Since the bank has no idea what you put in your box they are not responsible for the contents of it. There have been a number of cases where fires or robberies in the vault cost those renters everything with no recourse.

@dbrennan1523

I think your house is more likely to be robbed or burn down than a bank... And in this scenario there would be no recourse either because your homeowners insurance isn't going to cover those hundreds of millions. Also I think he was saying a safe deposit account because he was saying to leave your home for a little bit till things die down, and live in a hotel or Air B&B, which you wouldn't want to go back to your house to get the ticket where the media could be hanging out front.

@fitybux4664

If you die immediately after putting the winning lottery ticket into a safety deposit box, your heirs get it. If you had the ticket hidden somewhere in you house and you die, it will never be claimed. It's like hitting save on a game. Generally, safety deposit boxes are safe. (But yes, if it's for long term storage of things that are very valuable, you'll want to buy insurance on those things, maybe. The bank is not responsible.)

I've dreamed of winning the lottery most of my adult life, and the taxes have always been a mystery. This video does the BEST job of explaining that I've ever seen 👏🏾

An important thing to know about taking the annuity, payments aren't simply total winnings divided by 30. When a winner opts for annuity payments, the organization running that lottery invest proceeds of that drawing into actual annuties (hence the name) and begins paying the winner, annually. In the beginning, payments are relatively small and grow over time, typically by 5%. For a payout of $1.9 billion, the first year payout would be in the neighborhood of $30 million, and the final year's somewhere near $120 million, pre-tax. As Mark points out, even a conservative (read safe) investment strategy offers better return on investment than taking the annuity.

Yeah, but you run the risk of the old adage of "putting all your eggs in one basket" should you take the lump sum and invest it yourself. You can try to diversify, but most people aren't savvy enough to do that. Over the past 25 years, it has become apparent that we are on repetitive bubble economies where you CAN make a lot of money at one point, but then that is typically followed by a very aggressive burst. Most people don't have the stomach for that. Taking the annuity also gives you the excuse to tell people that you don't have all of the money the moment they inevitably start to hit you up for cash. Plus, right now, the gap between the lump sum and the prize pool is so vast because bond rates are up. If rates go down, that gap begins to shrink. For instance, I live in California (which doesn't tax lottery winnings) and the Mega Millions Jack Pot is $187mil right now. The lump sum is $91mil, so you've already lost more than 50% of the prize taking the lump sum. Take into consideration that the $91mil will be taxed 37% at the federal level, and you're left with $57,330,000. Still a lot of money but a far cry from the $187,000,000 prize pool. Sure, maybe you could double that twice in 20 years and be ahead, but it's just so much worry, IMO. I don't want to win the lottery and be paranoid about a market crash or ill-advised investment. I'll gladly take the annuity payments.
