Is this one of these lotteries where your name gets published when you hit the jackpot?

Worst thing about these jackpots are when people that are so poor that cant even afford clothes or food for their kids but yet they will spend $100 on lotto tickets

In my state I can remain anonymous. There is also no state tax on lottery winnings. I'd be like Elmer J. Fudd. I'll own a mansion and a yacht! Or two.

The smart thing is to set up trust funds before claiming the prize.  Keep working until the finances are properly set.

Or...

Just take the money and let it ride!!!!

I saw on TV that the odds were 1 in 302 million, or the same as rolling eleven 1s in a row with a six sided dice.  :O

That depends on the state you can claim anonymity in Georgia and I plan to do just that with my 1.6 Billion.
