Plan is run it into a trust but if not available wife will change her name, then get a makeup artist change her look, mumble during the press conference, then change back name and run the money into a trust and create a foundation. Can't tell anyone, not even my adult kids. They are early 20's and will be told we had a nice windfall and will fund them to get thru law school and the other be a CPA. Then they have a purpose to which run the foundation and we gonna help a lot of people.

The purpose is not to let the money change you. Takes time to grow into it. Sudden money and fame does not make you smarter. Life needs a purpose.

Other than that its too scary to have the whole world focused on you with many seeing a person as a target for self gain.

I tried to explain this to my mom today and she would not believe me.

Buying more than one ticket also doesn't change the odds, just the number of chances at winning 1-in-293mil odds.

If you want anonymity, best not to buy tickets in NY: public disclosure of name and town is required. Can't used blind trust to collect.

So start thinking of funny names for your wife.

Only a few states allow it.

Then move there.

Im thinking the state you buy the ticket is the state you have to redeem it. Each state has their own Lottery complex and thus own rules.

For that money, I can buy my own state!!!

No, I know... but you can set up a LLC or non-profit organization to protect your identity.

I'll figure it out!!!

All I know is Im buying a swank mid century apartment in the city and getting season tix to the knicks!!!

MD allows you to remain anonymous - and I bought a months worth of mega & powerball on my trip through before new years.

watch the NYC address if you win, don't want to have to start paying NYC Income taxes!

The lines to buy tickets now must be amazing. There goes the mortgage money, food money, gas money.

If this keeps going, it's going to get really ugly for some, I would imagine.

I don't think people are that stupid--it makes no sense.

BRIGGS - at some point, you have to wonder if some hedge fund would think about buying every possible combination - I don't know how you would even do that unless maybe you crowd source.

Money rates at that level? You thinking inflation rises? Cash gets that tight

Correct, you have to redeem in the state you purchased the ticket. Ohio is the closest to NY that allows blind trust collection.
