I've been in for a couple of weeks. Need to get tickets at lunch. I would buy a place here in SE Wisconsin on a local country club
and then have a "winter home" somewhere else. Definitely do some travelling.

I would want to remain anonymous but I doubt that would be possible. My excitement for becoming almost a billionaire would probably turn into fear as I try to relocate everyone I care about the most to prevent them from becoming victims of violent crimes.

It's will only be 600-700 million after taxes, fwiw.

cant be anonymous in Illinois they will announce your name and picture

It would be impossible. Even if you could convince the lottery people to leave you anonymous which they are not required to do by law (some states forbid leaving lotto winners anonymous) someone would squeal.

It would be impossible to have a check for $1b in your pocket and be able to trust anyone.

Hence, move.

I don’t think I’ve ever played the lottery. Some vendor I bought something from gave me some scratchers or something as a gift, told him next time just knock off 20 bucks or give me a hat.

Had a friend play the last time it was super high and he texted me shortly before the numbers were announced kind of freaking out what it would do to his kids if he did win. I kind of laughed and told him I didn’t think he had anything to worry about, I was right.

There is a story of a farmer who played and won when he was like 60-70 years old. Several million, saved him from bankruptcy. When asked what he’d do he said he’d probably just farm till it was gone.

That's why it's better to win a smaller one of like $15m...no one cares about those winners.

It’s the mentality. I don’t get it. I heard guys talking if they won how they’d buy new equipment and expand and I’m like not me. I’d sell it all and retire They looked at me like I had three heads. Which isn’t all that different than they usually look at me.


How do you make a small fortune farming? Start out with a large fortune.

It's what they know. They don't know how to live any other way. I kind of get it. Even though I would drink my face off and travel to MANY places if I won, I'd still probably find a part time job at a golf course or an animal shelter just to have something to do.
