First, I'd make them pay me with coins. None of this "check" stuff. All quarters and nickels (dimes are too easy to lose).

I remember the time that a bunch of us went to Couch Freaks. Early in the morning, we took pics of ourselves naked on the front lawn of a local jumper because they were was out of town. Then, once a month, we mailed them a pic.

That's what I would do. Drive all over the country in a 16-yd dump truck full of quarters and nickels. Wait for people to go to work, then take pictures in their front yards.

I'd also drive a lot of toll roads. "Why yes, I do have correct change." :ph34r:

I'd do everything possible to not tell a soul. If my name was made public, I'd petition for a name change and relocate. I would want nobody knowing that I am a multimillionaire lotto winner. My mom would have no idea why her house was paid off and she was receiving $20k per month from an anonymous benefactor.

The same would happen with oher members of my family.

1. I'd hire a lawyer & a CPA.
2. I'd make a long list of the people who can kiss my ass.
3. I'd live off the interest and never touch the $294M.



294M @ 4% Annual interest = 11.8M

I could live on that.

4% Annual interest



Uhhh.. I would be looking for a new CPA and Broker.
4% sucks.



I was just throwing a figure out there . . . I didn't look up the current interest rates.

But, 4% w/minimal risk to the principle is better IMHO to 20% with a murderously high risk of principle.

And take into account that w/$294M as the prize, you'd be lucky to see $140M after taxes
Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

My first move would be out of Lousyana....er....I mean Louisiana. Either way, I would so leave this cesspool in the rearview.



with 294M

You could start your own country.

Maybe I could use the 294 mil to pay France to take this piece of crap back. As a matter of fact we ought to just make them take it back. Wait a minute, getting close to SC territory. Oh well, there's a lot of other things I'd do too, but that would definitely be the first move.

If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

That's the deal breaker. I just couldn't live on $140M. ;)



Tax shelters would be needed.:)
