Stock Market to invest 300m? Are you crazy. Have fun with all that.

No you can’t. You winning the lotto is public information. You expect anything less from NY?
> NEW YORK CODES, RULES AND REGULATIONS
> TITLE 21
> CHAPTER XLIV.
> NEW YORK STATE DIVISION OF THE LOTTERY
> § 2803.12 Publicity release
> (a) Each prizewinner grants to the Director the right to use his or her name,
> city of residence, any photograph, image, and video or audio recording in order to
> publicize his or her winnings for marketing, advertising or other purposes of the
> Division. At the discretion of the Director, photographs or images of winners may be
> taken and used for publicity or to compile a photographic or other visual record of

Winning in NY is more of a curse than a blessing.
You solve all your old financial problems and get a life full of new ones.
So unless your lawyer wins the jackpot, you can’t have your lawyer collect.

when they family member I eluded to above won, it wasnt in the papers, it wasnt on TV, all it was was his name on a list of about 100 people who won something on that lotterys website, under a results tab. Granted it was much smaller winnings but still, i assume the same holds true… winning is winning.
BUT, you know news people would be all over it to get the story and your screwed.

I’d see how much it would cost to get Wayne to drive a Prius and only a Prius for an entire year.

Flawed. You’d essentially be paying him to Detroit swap a Prius and drive it for a year.

first thing i am sure i would have to do is pay a huge tax.
but after they take more than 50% of my winnings i would invest it into the future like the rockerfeller family did years ago. ensure the well being of my family that lies ahead.
plus i would buy a shit load of cars, garages, guns, women, and anything else i find fun. because at the end of the day i enjoy having fun. fun to me is just about the best feeling one can have. i hope the future can enjoy having fun

is that federal, state and local taxes considered? i know people who won millions and had to pay over 45% and they live in same town as me
took this from forbes site… According to Powerball’s home page, the $320 million was run by a Michigan resident. The state has a flat 4.35% income tax, as well as a local option income tax. The highest local tax is Detroit’s 2.5%, with Highland park charging 2%. If the winner is a Detroit resident, he or she will pay a total tax bill on a $213 million lump of about $84 million, leaving about $129 million. Not bad, but not exactly $320 million
this numbers dont add up to me
