Monitor all social media for other "winners"

Quickly destroy evidence that they had a winning ticket before its verified by the gambling commission.

$200 million ain't bad. Even after what, 40% in gift taxes, that's $120 million.

Stagger that poo poo into low risk capital preservation income yielding stuff and just live off the interest. 1% yearly ain't gonna be hard to hit and that's 1.2 million, annually. Even with the maximum tax exposure you're still taking home tens of thousands of dollars every month.

200mil would be the annuity, you only get about half that for the lump sum option.

In a more ideal world, the wannabe totalitarians of the left and right who want to restrict free speech got that way not because of a toxic rejection of the values they claim to uphold, but because Larry Flynt debauched their mothers.

One of the best parts about winning the lottery would be just gloating to people with fancy jobs or decent stock investments that they are dumb and you are smart, because you have more money and made better choices in life and then acting like this:

Not possible in MN, and I'd be on the front cover of the Star Tribune.

It's moot, since the odds of winning are roughly the same as Trump resigning in disgrace, but its something to think about.
