I'm not in Altadena anymore but close enough being in Pasadena and I'm in Altadena every couple of weeks to do grocery shopping and hit my favorite thrift shop. Plus I hardly ever buy lottery tickets but I should have given that massive amount ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 The crazy thing is after payout and taxes I think is is like 700 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 The $2 billion is if you take the thirty year annuity which earns about 5% annually (which no one has picked in years). The cash value is about half, then 34% or so in federal taxes, your state taxes (zero in Texas), and any lotto specific taxes (NY has the highest).

Even if you take the 30 year annuity, after taxes you're getting something like $20 million per year, which is overwhelming on its own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Older Americans spend more on lottery tickets so it could be assumed they win more often. Anyone over 50 might not live long enough to connect that last check. Although it does go to their estate. But that's one hell of a direct deposit each year. Imagine living pay check to pay check with that as your check lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pettie4sox Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Yeah you take the 20 mil a year and build generational wealth every time. Do you want 100K now or a penny doubled every day for 30 days? I'm sure I'm butchering it but yall get the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should probably take care of a few generations lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I live past 80, then Social Security it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could instantly invest like $500 million of it, and still live off of the returns, even after blowing the last $100 million on absolute nonsense or something.

Not going to tell anyone how to spend their hundreds of millions, lol...but the idea of "not" having generational wealth by taking the lump sum is pretty funny.

It is patently absurd. With any discipline at all, this is multi-generational wealth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwritecode Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I've always figured that for me, $10 million free and clear would do me just fine for the rest of my life. Even if I live another 50 years that's $200,000/year. Once all my debt is gone, that would be more than enough every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Was bummed I lost this. Absolutely was planning on buying a media blitz pressuring JR to sell team, forming acquisition group, showing them my annual spreadsheet to convince them I should be chairman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Hurtin Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Since this thread is still active, something I often wonder about. Say you win a huge jackpot like this, where do you keep / put the money? You wouldn't just deposit it at Bank of America, or something. (talking about the money you receive, not investments done with it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(talking about the money you receive, not investments done with it) You invest most of it if I'm correct. Holding f*** you money like that in a bank is dumb as it won't make any money at all.

(talking about the money you receive, not investments done with it) I think you absolutely go to a high-end firm, meet with some people and figure out a plan, where things are held, how to set certain things up. I wouldn't know exactly what to do either. It's easy to just say "invest" but obviously it's more complicated than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(talking about the money you receive, not investments done with it) I think there are special bank accounts for the ultra-wealthy that you can put it in. First step would be to hire some lawyers/accountants/financial advisors/etc that know how to deal with that kind of stuff.

bmags Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I read his question as being about like, where do you tell them to put the lump sum first, and yeah I think there are special accounts that exist for that and you'd first want to get your house in order with a wealth management lawyer and accountant before even claiming it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I've also always thought about how you handle that with family/friends. In a case like this, I would guess you really run the risk of creating weird situations with people that are hitting you up for things, expect something from you because of all this new wealth. I would very much want to help those around me, but at the same time, those awkward situations would suck with people asking for handouts. I've always thought I'd sit down and determine how much I would give someone, be generous but explain that "This is it. I'm giving you $500,000 but this is it."
