They're to smart to play. Although Cuban did give advice to the winner on what to do .

I don't mind being on the FBI's watch list , it's like having free security !

We'd get a summer place on Canandaigua Lake, main home in TENN. ( no state tax , great deer hunting and family already there ) and spend the winter months in Hawaii , I always wanted to be surfer !

Wife would run a charity to help single moms, and Biz gets ten million, the rest of you a free t shirt .

don't the annual payments stop once the winner dies? I'd definitely opt for the one time payout..........I would take care of immediate family and disappear the best I could, as far as feeling the need to give a fortune to charity?? not to sure, think most of the wealthy do it for tax reasons, not because they really want to.

[The_Real_TCIII]

I was reading about it yesterday and it stated the payments do not stop, they are part of your estate. I agree about the wealthy and charities but I call it a win/win for the most part

Nope they become part of your estate

Which is why estate planning is one of the things to take care of as soon as possible .

Everyone one here should have will, Poa, and health care directive in place right now anyways . But things will have to be a little more advanced for the winner .

I have two attorneys in the family as well as friends who are and right now I'm working with one who specializes in elder law in regard to our mother. Re gifting assets ,setting up an annuity , Medicade apps. Prepaying funerals are just the tip of the iceberg .

Things can be done to protect assets and work around very complex laws , the sooner in place the better.

A ten foot high bronze statue for the front yard would be nice.

the sad reality is that many people will feel it's your obligation to take care of them / help them out......you'll probably have more enemies then friends if you won this kind of money.

Why first person hired would be the "no thank you,No person...that would probably be the only thing they had time for...

[Merlot]

confusing situation with all that wealth, but i wouldn't mind giving it a shot....

[growalot]

I hope NO one wins....It is such a ridiculous # now and I have tickets. I want to see how big the next one is...

 Have any of you thought about who is playing? Lots of Canadians driving down...and imagine ISIS playing,,,How about Coumo or Obama....imagine some people that could win....hhhmmm...

[Pygmy]

And that's plenty ok with me!

I'd like to see someone win and post a video of themselves ripping up the ticket and never cashing it in.

As a guy who BEAT cancer I am already rich.So much of my winnings would go to ST.Jude hospital as I cannot hold back tears when I see children suffer from this scourge on humanity. As crazy as it sounds if you have a healthy family you are already rich.
