$2 billion winning is over 29 years = $997.6 million cash value lump sum today and pay the taxes = $600 million take home?
Still a lot of money. Winning a lottery can be a curse.
You will all of the sudden have a lot of “best” friends, a lot of family and extended family, you are the goldmine for charities and fraudsters, and everyone wants a piece of it.
Money will be spent for your personal security, life will not be the same. Do you want to be that visible? Can you even hide under the radar?
Is it a bless or a curse?
Life and natural always find a balance, are lottery winners using up their 🍀 luck and the opposite soon to come? Seems to be the case for many.
I think I would be up to this challenge - though I would be a round at the pub ;)
For me, no - I want to be anonymous or at most, normal. Hard to do for sure, when there is a billion dollars in the bank. However, moving somewhere warm and away from most others, it might be possible. Tahiti?
