He did win life’s lottery.

No he hasn't, he has lost all of his friends and family. Anything he does from now out will just piss off everybody in his life. Lottery winnings are are sad for the people that win them, in most cases.

Well, he has to give up taxes first. So, he will stay here.

By taking the lump sum payment, and after federal and state income taxes, he’ll probably have about $120 million. Not to shabby.

“I heard on the radio it will be around 183 million dollars.”

If I were him I would put that money in an offshore account that the Feds or the Europeons can’t “tax.” Otherwise he won’t have much afterward.

Well, that is a good win after taxes. Wish I had that after the tax man calls.

If I only had his problems. LOL

While money does not buy happiness, it does buy freedom. Like all things, it’s up to the individual in what he/she makes of life’s blessings.

With a one-time buy out, after taxes he ends up with $120M. I’d take it with nary a complaint.

If he goes back to the DR, imagine how he and his family could life!

"If I ever won that much money, my first order of business would be to make myself as anonymous and inaccessible to the general public as possible."

Lottery Winners' Rule #1:
Call all friends and relatives and tell them you are in a bind and need to borrow $10,000 for just a few weeks. - Do this BEFORE announcing what you have won. It's a good way to determine who to keep on your gift list afterward.

I never won any money. And I have the same first order of business. Got to go to work, and run errands. Sometimes visit friends and family.

He has achieved the American Dream.

You may call it "the American dream" but I call it my retirement plan!
