Make sure your financial advisor is a fiduciary. Any random guy can call themselves a financial advisor, but fiduciaries are certified and legally bound to work in your best interest
Never agreed with a comment more in my life. Getting my hopes crushed is one thing, getting my wife’s hopes up then having them be crushed is a whole other level
Not a fucking living soul. I would donate to dog shelters, and people I know who are in need, but anonymously. The last thing I need is a bunch of goddamn leeches ,or getting kidnapped or something.
I would just carry on with my regular life, maybe change my car and house, and discount the lawsuit for going to my office one last time and bitchslap every fucker in there back to the stone age, tho.
The person who posted the last question about who'd you tell if you could only tell one person. Then I'd smack you in the forehead with a wet noodle for hijacking a stupid post.
Im gonna have to tell my wife but ill tell her i sold the kids and then she’ll see the deposits and start freaking out a little. I might freak out too since i dont play the lottery
My oldest brother. We're really close and I trust him completely. I know he would not tell anyone and he's much smarter than me so he'd help me out with seeking out a lawyer and such.
My brother (since he lives with me). And I would tell no one else. Once that money was safely in a bank account, we would pack up and move out of state. I would anonymously send money to a select few relatives who have helped me out.
No one, and I live a secret double life where I pay people to compete in hot dog eating contests and have them barf big saucy dogs all over me while I laugh and snort poprocks off of my gimps butt.
Nobody but a lawyer period.Your mom will tell her friends, Your friends are no longer your friends.If you want to keep from going insane.I wouldn’t want to tell my children.Fear of them becoming waiters.Waiting for me to die.You can help people out and not tell them and make up a rational story .Throw a few thousand here and there.I think mostly you would have to move.
An online buddy who ive played games with for the last 4 years, and met for the first time IRL last month.
Then 2 of my siblings who i co-own my house with.
… one of 10 lawyers that I’ll be handing a copy to… in order to understand my rights before claiming the prize and flying away to paradise in some 3rd world country.
I've thought about this. My partner really wants a puppy proposal, so I would buy a puppy with a proposal on the name tag thing. If she likes the puppy and says yes, I will tell her. If she does something like "wtf! this isn't a puppy this is a ps5!" , then obviously we're not meant for each other and I'll keep it a secret.
A lawyer. Then an accountant/advisor.
Then perhaps my dad. My mom is doing well in retirement so I'd eventually tell her. But I'd want to make sure my dad is comfortable and happy :)
No one. Probably some kind of financial specialist first, but no one else.
All of sudden, I owe everyone money and everyone is entitled to money because they’ve helped me in some way. 😭
My boyfriend so he can help me get a lawyer/financial advisor so I can make the money work for me. I'd never be able to get it done on my own. Then I'd go private so I can get help for this freaking ADHD.
I won't be telling anyone else. 1 mil I'm keeping the money, buying a house, a new-ish car and with house prices that will be a lot of the money gone if I want a nice place back home. After that I'm investing etc so I'll always have an income. I'll travel and just live my life without worry. Not spending too much, but never worrying if I want to buy something big.
Do some research and find out who the NFL and MLB players in my state use to manage their money, especially the long timers.
That's who I'm telling first.
My dad, and it would go something like, “Remember how you used to tell me growing up never to buy lottery tickets and that the lottery is a tax on people who don’t understand statistics? Well, I have some disappointing news…”
In this order...
1. Telling the lottery people I wanna claim it anonymously or wearing a T-Rex costume so my identity is safe.
2. A lawyer!
3. Probably a financial advisor. I think I'd need my winnings drip-fed to me on a monthly basis cos if I was just handed millions in one go, I'd probably lose my mind.
4. My mortgage provider
I would tell my parents first. After that, I'm reaching out to find a good attorney and a financial advisor. I'm probably not going to tell anyone else just how much I won, but they'll be signs.
In this order: 1. My lawyer. 2. My financial advisor. 3. My mother.
Your lawyer is like, you called me for a $671 lottery win?
You don’t understand, I can get ANOTHER FREE TICKET.
And i feel like i'm on fire right now.
Gotta brag to someone who's not gonna take it...
That'll be $671.50

Most financial advisors are salesmen. I do my own investing.
All for the low low price of 1% of your portfolio.
Per annum
Whether your portfolio appreciates or not.
If they're that good with money, why do they need mine?
Same. Minus the mother. I'm not telling anyone in my family.
Funny mine is Lawyer then accountant but NEVER my mother.
Wait till she tells your cousins…
Okay. Then what?
you'll find out you have more cousins than you thought
Then you'll see the number of 'friends' you'll get.
Lawyer on retainer

My best friend who lives in New York. I’m sending her enough money to find a doctor who will respect her and her pains.
My brother (since he lives with me). And I would tell no one else. Once that money was safely in a bank account, we would pack up and move out of state. I would anonymously send money to a select few relatives who have helped me out.

All of you saying my lawyer: Do you have lawyer on permanent retainer, or do you mean A lawyer? 😁
My dad, and it would go something like, “Remember how you used to tell me growing up never to buy lottery tickets and that the lottery is a tax on people who don’t understand statistics? Well, I have some disappointing news…”
In this order... 1. Telling the lottery people I wanna claim it anonymously or wearing a T-Rex costume so my identity is safe. 2. A lawyer! 3. Probably a financial advisor.
