    yeah. sucks that people get greedy... but imo if you don't invest it, you're bound for failure.

        I used to work for an accounting firm (head IT guy) and one of the partners showed me how people make the mistake of not getting it all at once and get it in payments. Even though you get less, after proper investments, etc. you come out way ahead.

          I would definitely wind up back to where I started if I won. I'd blow it all on whores, cars, coke, and gambling.

            The more money we come across, the more problems we see.

                      If I won 15 million after taxes this is how it would go down.

                      5 Million for expenditures immediately, family and stuff. The 10 million left would go into a locked interest bearing account, 5% minimum so I am seeing at least 500,000 a year. Pay the taxes on my 500k a year and live a comfortable life.

                        Problem is, I doubt many of them 'properly' invest it...and when they do try and hire advice for it, they get overcharged or ripped off.

                        Under an investment plan, the Nebraska Powerball winners' $15.5 million, after accepting the lump sum and paying taxes, could produce a yearly income of about $500,000 a year.
                        Even if you spent the first 5 million off the bat to get yourself acquainted and all, you could still get around $350K/year.

                        The big issue on all of this is self-control...not many have that willpower to not take all that money and then just start blowing and spending it, whether it's on good things or not...
