Just checked my 5 lines. I got the Mega Ball once. That's it. Is that 2 bucks?

That is a tremendous amount of money to be dropped on you in one shot.

Does Mega let you stay unknown if you wish. That should be a must now. Your life could be in danger

Hopefully a big office pool hit

Depends on your state

The Illinois Lottery allows winners to request anonymity if the prize is greater than $250,000, which certainly applies in this case. You may request to keep your name and municipality of residence confidential at the time of claiming your prize.

This is the peculiar drawback of winning such amounts of money.

For me, I'd lay low with how I express my money publcily, but, I wouldn't hide. You can't hide anywhere on earth with a billion dollars (or even half after taxes). You will always be found, be it by criminals, former and even foreign spies, who knows? I have a responsible disposition as it refers money so I would probably put it to use in a business but definitely not splash it around.

Bottom line "don't hide from life, just be prepared to deal with the onslaught". I'd do it with a smile.

You need to learn to say……NO!

What if I was only visiting and happened to get my ticket at Speedway? Still entitled to anonymity?

You cash in at the state you bought the ticket in
So the rules apply to everyone who bought a ticket regardless of residence

Glad to see it go to one singular winner. Nothing takes the cherry off the top of such a huge win, like having it split multiple ways. It just isn’t the same…

It actually amounts to less than 400 million lump sum.

Then you will still fit right in at the Trailer Park

Even if you have to share with other people, it is still money that you didn't already have at least in my own opinion anyway. In other words, I can live without the cherry. It is the ice cream and hot fudge that I want most of all.

God bless you always!!!

That’ll buy a full tank of gas.

If I wasn't retired and still working and had won big money I'd march down to work, grab a bottle of Jameson, sit in a lawn chair, and harass the management. Dream come true.

The first person you should see after hitting is a lawyer that will arrange a trust fund thus guaranteeing your anonymity. Nobody has to know no matter who you are if you do it right.
