The Mega Millions® jackpot has been revised for the next drawing on Friday, July 29. The big prize is now estimated at $1.1 billion, with a cash value of $648.2 million.
If won, it will be the second largest prize in the 20-year history of Mega Millions, behind only the record $1.537 billion won on October 23, 2018. That winning ticket was sold in South Carolina, and it remains the world’s largest lottery prize ever won on a single ticket

Nope. Priced me out when they went to $2

I’d only accept the winnings if they guaranteed I could be only Lottery Dream Home. I’d blow those $250k McMansions out the water

Will I be able to afford gas then if I win?

I know taking the lump sum is always the way to go. But, does there become a point where the jackpot is so large that the 20 year payout makes sense? At 700 million your getting 35/year and you collect the entire sum. Is there a tipping point or lump sum no matter what?

Lump sum and hide most of it in 55 gallon drums underground with armed guards watching it.
But for real, this economy is fricked and about to crumble. You absolutely take the money while it's there. Normally you wouldn't try to liquidate it all and literally bury it, but it's probably worth it.

I forgot to go get tickets

I don't carry cash so therefore I am out

I wonder if you could get a tax and accounting law firm to anonymize you if you won in exchange for taking a $10m cut or something like that?
Posted on 7/16/22 at 2:26 am to BeepNode
Sure, plenty of people have won and stayed anonymous, many were part of an LLC or had a lawyer claim in their place
Posted on 7/16/22 at 2:27 am to BeepNode
Probably need a hedge fund or private equity group. I'm guessing it would take more than 10mm but it would be worth it to keep the crazies away if you could truly stay anonymous. I don't know if you could unless you told no one, not even your closest family, and didn't change your lifestyle at all.
Your best bet would be to move someplace like Switzerland or Dubai where that kind of wealth is commonplace and nobody gives a shite. Some people would be content uprooting themselves like that. Most wouldn't.

Even if the numbers worked, you’d have to factor in default risk.
