Honestly I wouldn’t trust any advisors as I’m sure a plethora of them out there take advantage of the average person who comes into big money. We don’t know the “good” ones that major businessmen do.

Either ask a reputable wealthy businessman for a recommendation or take the annuity and manage it over time yourself.

My uncle has had his money with Goldman Sachs for about 20 years, I think it avg about 13%/yr over that span.

Do that math on the lump sum of $900M.



I'm good with no risk with govt t bills. With 900 million I already have money for many generations. I'll take 3.5% all day and with 700 million in it and my family will be more than provided for.

If you win the lottery and chose to hire a financial advisor which one are you calling?


First, you find one of the top ten law firms in the country with an office near you, walk in and hire them. Then, you make that guy find a top 20 or a top 10 investment firm (NOT one of the ones who advertise wanting your 401k business) and contact them. You've got hundreds of millions of dollars to put under management.

Once they see that ninth figure, both the law firm and the investment banker WILL take your call. Hell, depending on how many tickets they sell, we might be talking a THIRD comma.



Or, just start an eTrade account. Who knows?

The $1.6B annuity guarantees 5% annually - in case you win!!!! Good Luck!

Would be funny to see how a site like that would handle a quick $900 million transfer. Ha.

No joke but you can set up investments very conservatively that are simply enough. I'd take a third of the amount for long term investments that I cannot physically get the money out before maturation in case I do somehow blow all the money.

Hell, if you only got 3% return per year on $550M (40% of the lump sum after taxes), it would be $16.5M a year, every year for the rest of your life, kids life, etc.

My buddy at Edward Jones would get 50 million or so to manage if I were to win.

He manages that now collectively, and he does pretty well.

But he isn't getting a billion.

There are certain ventures I would pursue, but I would stay fairly conservative.

With a billion, there is zero need for real risk.

Annuity. You can always call JG Wentworth if you need cash now.

And less than the annuity

I'm not in private banking so I don't know exactly how they'd handle it, but I'm guessing at this wealth level it's more about PE than stocks and bonds.

I would go to a lawyer first to hopefully reveal to the public that I won. A financial advisor can come later.

I am not saying that is what you strive to get. I am just saying that is being the most conservative investing I've ever heard of and walking away with 8 figures every year forever.

More than half the battle with anyone who wins this money is the discipline it would take to manage it appropriately.

This won't be a self-made ultra high net worth individual. They're going to go from a basic job to a near billionaire overnight. That's not exactly the typical client at the firms that cater to that kind of money. In practice it would be an interesting relationship.

Doesn't have to be, earning just 2% annually on the after tax lump sum would be more than adequate.

And, again, less than the annuity. If all youre going to do is buy a bunch of T Bonds you'd be better off not taking the lump sum at all.

You don’t give all your money to one person. It would be well worth your time to split it between 2-4 people. More the better. You will get the same help from someone with $100 mil of your money as $500 mil.

I’d hire 2 lawyers too.

Small mistakes cost you $10 mil. A couple extra hours of billable time is worth it.
