What to do when you win the lottery!

[@rizingpho3nix]

When I was in the army there was a young soldier who won the lottery. I was the first person he told and he asked for advice. I asked him who else he had told besides me and there was no one else. I told him to keep his mouth shut and tell no one. Next, I told him not to sign his lottery ticket because he needed to stay anonymous. After that reach out to a nationally accredited lottery company that specializes in getting his money. He had less than a year left on his service contract. He listened to what I told him and he even invested about 25% of his winnings. He's doing great right now. I never asked for anything. I just wanted him to be happy and financially stable/free. He's said no one has a clue what he does because he lives in a nice but modest house and he keeps to himself. What a lucky guy.

I tried to stop X We tried to leave and the next things was that couple ,the girl leaped up from the couch , bashes into us and gets on the floor starts screaming crying saying she broke a bone .

We have won the million dollar lottery twice, three years apart about 10 years ago. What they didn’t tell us at the Lottery and I didn’t realize was about the taxes. They withheld 30% of the winnings for taxes. THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH!! This amount of money puts you in a higher tax bracket. You will be charged at a higher rate! A tax attorney may be able to figure out a way around it but I didn’t. The next year won’t be so bad because you paid so much in taxes the year you won. I’m talking about the Federal Income Taxes.

If your state doesn’t allow you to claim anonymously what you should do is open up an LLC and a S-Corp. You put that LLC into the S-Corp then create two blind trusts. Put that S-Corp into the first blind trust which then goes into the second blind trust. What this does is makes you pretty much invisible for anyone tryna to figure out who you are.

[@ChochiT0-ddd7fd]

That's ok, but that doesn't help you become anonymous. You are NEVER anonymous to any state's lottery, even to the anonymous ones.

You can claim with a trust, but you ALWAYS have to provide your name, address and SSN to claim your prize. There is no way around it.

[@ChochiT0-ddd7fd]

@@TheDanEdwards Actually it won't work in any of the non-anonymous states that it is played. You are never anonymous to lottery officials. Every state has to make sure each winner is legal in the country, check whether they owe child support and/or other debt to the government. If so, then they will deduct the debt from the winnings immediately. In states that are "NOT" anonymous, if you claim with a trust, that only shields your name temporarily from the public. By law the lottery has to answer the door, and provide all your info., when reporters come knocking. In states that are "anonymous", the lottery officials will tell the reporters to go away, but the lottery themselves have all your info.

In some countries the lottery companies actually have specialists to help you do these things. Once you tell them you won, they will teach you what to do and what not to do. Often they tell you to tell everyone you won some money and spent it all on your new car/paying for the house and not to live big, but continue your normal life for the time being. And of course invest a big chunk of it to have it if you need it or want to buy something.

If you sign the back then anyone can request your name and lotto has to provide it under the “ freedom of information act” since the ticket is considered a public document. You create an LLC so that the ticket can be signed to the LLC and put into a blind trust to protect your identity.
