re: That billion dollar mega-millions ticket was just claimed

The local newspaper says he bought 20 acres and it took 5 months to build the wall around it. He is living in a camper behind where his 2,200 sq. ft. house is being built. There will be a 25,000 sq. ft. barn/garage and two 1,400 sq. ft. guest houses. They will all sit on the 8 acre lake.
That would be a great article if they had a local paper to run it in. Since they don't, I made it all up.

Big dollars have big time value. Regardless of the relative percentage of net worth, I'd have a tough time bypassing 30 grand a day unless I had no other choice. Every day's delay is 30 grand you could have given to family / friends or St. Jude or a homeless shelter or your church, etc.
Maybe that was the case - the person had no choice, but 5 months seems like an awful lot of caution. it seems like you could assemble your team and complete the claim process via establishing trusts, etc. in much less time. Maybe there were legit reasons, like TheCatepillar listed. They'd have to be damn legit and specifically require me to delay claiming my prize to do it.

Send your story to CNN as an anonymous source. They'll run with it.

God bless this person. Going from every day joe to billionaire overnight is going to have quite an impact.

Did he give the ticket to a woman? Is that legal. Because a woman claimed it.
