      I disagree with a lot of these steps....the very first thing you should do besides take a picture of the ticket and place it in a safe and protected place, is to create a trust and have the trust accept the winnings which will keep your name out of the newspapers and news and provide some level of protection of your identity.

Like he said, google your name, and it will show every single place you've live and phone numbers since the very first time you used a google app or service. Beyond that most apps want control of your entire phone before you can use them.

    I won substantial amount 6 years ago. I did most of theses steps.
    * organized team, tax attorney to start.
    * lump sum
    * won in October, claimed Jan of next year. This delayed paying taxes longer. Held principle longer, earned more.
    * kept investments lean and conservative. Worked out to about 7% annually.
    * once established. Over a year later, worked on blind trusts and other products related to giving money away. This was by far the most time consuming. It is a big job to give money away correctly.
    * fortunately I live in state with no state income tax.
    6 years later, the principal has grown substantially and the “the. Machine” as I call it hums along nicely. I have made over 20 friends and family millionaires in the last 6 years as well. All with the gains.
    Much needed to be learned. Be smart, be patient, be humble. Admit that you don’t know how to manage huge wealth. Most people do not.

      ​@Madvizion Stop worrying about "generational wealth." Just take care of your children & that's it. That's your only responsibility. If your children have children then that's their responsibility & not yours. Not to say you don't set them up nicely but it's not your responsibility. Teach your children to be responsible for their own & be smart. Just a little word to the wise. Too many people talk about "generational wealth" when most of the time, the generations after your children are out of your control. Please really contemplate what I shared. It makes a lot of sense.

    Why hide before you've even claimed the prize? #1 Find a financial lawyer. You can set up an LLC in Delaware and have it claim the prize. If you claim the prize through an LLC registered in Delaware the state does not require the release of information as to owns the LLC, so that protects you from being exposed as the winner. #2 Don't start immediately spending tons of money that people think you don't have. #3 don't even tell your relatives you won. If they didn't like you before you want they were like you after, they will pretend they do.

Well if you you are claiming it as your earnings and you paid the tax I don't see how they could double tax you. But if you couldn't, yeah just give them a card, I've never had a single place ever ask for ID, and you can purchase practically everything online now so box stores could be avoided for any store that might ask for ID. I'd definitely not want to pay Federal tax, State tax, then have that money I was just taxed on be taxed again because I gave some to a family member.

      They can get a low interest, short term loan from a private bank that specializes in UHNWI. Or they'll be given a high limit credit card. Banks are more than happy to do so in order to establish a positive relationship with a newly minted multimillionaire. So the cost of a burner phone & hotel room aren't a big deal. Compared to tax pitfalls & sudden wealth syndrome, they're practically trivial.

      CDAR or ICS. With CDARs you can have up to $50 million, all of which would be FDIC insured. ICS allow way more than $50 million but apparently, limits are determined by the bank with which it's set up. Both allow for FDIC on the total balance, managed by one banking institution and you're given one bank statement so management of funds is easy. You can also state which banks you want excluded from the CDAR or ICS account.
      Downside is that interest payments will be lower than a regular account. And whichever bank you originate the account with is who sets that rate. Since most don't advertise their rates for these accounts, you'd have to do your legwork.

      If you die immediately after putting the winning lottery ticket into a safety deposit box, your heirs get it. If you had the ticket hidden somewhere in you house and you die, it will never be claimed. It's like hitting save on a game. Generally, safety deposit boxes are safe. (But yes, if it's for long term storage of things that are very valuable, you'll want to buy insurance on those things, maybe. The bank is not responsible.)

Definitely however talk to a lawyer (don't tell them you got the big winning ticket but a sizeable one is ok, like all but 1 number off), see if its legal to create a trust or LLC or something to accept the money in your stead and the lawyer can accept the winnings on your behalf. You definitely want to possibly avoid having your name and face plastered all over the place.

I would take the lump sum and invest those monies in different currencies & countries. It won’t be long that the US dollar will not be the reserve currency.

Look up your state rules to remain anonymous (a few states don't allow it). In my state you have to send a request to remain anonymous in writing before claiming so something you'd want to know ahead of time.

It also increases in pay every year. But i dont know what the tax burden would be for them, or myself. Would it be considered a gift? It jiat seems like the hassle free way of providing for them in the long term, without having to constantly dole out cash, and being susceptible to the whim of the month creating animosity.
    Like, here is 10k per month income for the next 30 years. Go make something of yourself. With guaranteed income like that, they could take out a business loan, or a home loan. Or save up for what they need or want.

      There are accounts that go bigger than the FDIC insured amount. They use a combination of banks that they hold in custodial accounts. (This might get you to a few million in insurance. No idea how you'd insure hundreds of millions. Ask your lawyer.)

    I'm surprised that step #2 didn't include signing your winning ticket. That said, for those who are Single and successfully accomplish steps 1 thru 10, finding a future spouse is gonna be Way Too Easy once the world knows of your good fortune. Thats a problem, finding someone who loves You and not your money. However, I'd rather be single than married if I were to win money like that.
