True. My answer was based on the assumption that no one knew I won the lottery.
But, if a TV crew showed up at my house and put my face everywhere as the lottery winner…yeah, my cover’s blown because they basically just put a target on my back. Time to get out of dodge!
I would probably keep the security guard uniform as a souvenir.
I will save the money and try to invest it in a reliable business in the prospect of consistent profit even though it’s difficult.
I would not buy anything. I would hire people to give me really good advice on taxes, property, and health. Then I would eat a really great meal on the beach.
I have heard that you can protect yourself by having an attorney do the leg work. Most likely they would form a trust which also has tax advantages.
