If you actually win the lottery, consider lawyering up and claiming the winnings through a trust.

Once people know you’re rich you’re either going to be hassled to help their sick family members, pay their bills, or worse be kidnapped or your family threatened and murdered.

You work for 2 more years like nothing happened while your team of lawyers and accountants help set up a trust that will claim the winnings anonymously while making sure your wealth can last forever through investments.

You don’t buy Lamborghinis or move into the hills. You eat the same grocery store brand lunch meat and wait to buy Nintendo games on a discount.

You quit one day for “health reasons”, you move out of state and travel the world. Delete social media and you sail off into the sunset. No one knows about your wealth and no one bothers you, your family, or extended family, all taken care of by said trust.

If you quit out of the blue after the Powerball numbers are out or you make a huge scene with your manager and HR, your coworkers will track you down and beg, sue, or murder you and your family for cash.

It’s not just coworkers. Lottery winners are public record in most states. Lots of crazy people with nothing to lose read those lists and will show up at your front door.

There’s a reason most winners go broke or dead and the answers in this thread are a good example.

It’s not just for lottery winnings either, no one needs to know your net worth.

Was about to say something like this as I myself wouldn't just quit my job and I would just save it or give most of it to a charity as I wouldn't know what to do with all that money.
