What do you do?

You can answer on the poll, but then you can also propose other activities.

ASSUME THAT YOUR WIN IS 100% CERTAIN. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT TO CONFIRM ANYTHING. IT'S YOURS, ALL YOURS!

#6 Do you want to hold a news conference?

At the Lottery office, a member of the Lottery's communications staff will ask you questions about your win, such as how many tickets you bought, when you found out that you won and what you plan to do with your prize money. This information will be used for a news release.

You will also be asked, but are not required, to participate in a news conference, most likely at the store where you purchased your winning ticket. News conferences can also be held at a Lottery office. This provides the media with a single photo opportunity and a chance for them to ask you a few questions without having each of them contact you at home or at work.

A. You want to do a news conference.
News conferences normally only last about 15 minutes, and are held within a couple of days after your ticket validates. Your ticket is not considered validated until it passes confidential validation requirements at the Lottery's office in Jefferson City, normally the day after you place your claim. Keep in mind that your news conference should be a lot of fun, like weddings and other ceremonies.

B. You don't want to do a news conference.
It's your decision whether or not to participate in a news conference. However, your name and hometown are considered public information, and they will be released to the media. Not only is this information public by law, publishing it is necessary to ensure the integrity of the Lottery's games. If players were never provided with actual names, they may not believe the games are real or fair. If you choose not to do a news conference, the media may still attempt to contact you at home or your place of employment.

That sucks, but I do see their point.

So basically, I'd simply be ready to instantly relocate.

Why, that's not even "buy the worst MLB franchise" kind of money. I bet the Royals would sell for at least $90 million.

Correction suggestion Rain, for Quick surfer - it would be blow lines, not smoke bowls

Isn't that right next to Brokeback Mountain?

I still think you could create a system of shell entities whereby Frazod, LLC would hold and claim the winning ticket. Frazod, LLC's employee would claim the ticket on behalf of the company, whose sole member is the Frazod Revocable Trust, which exists for the sole benefit of Frazod Partners.... All you'd have to give is the address of Frazod, LLC.

I just had an idea. (no jokes, damnit)

Before you claim your winning Powerball ticket (you have 365 days) have your name changed. Something totally off the wall like, Clarence Cleophus Stubblepopper.

Claim said prize. Change name back to original name.

Change my name to John Smith. Move temporarily to New York. That ought to take care of it.

You're welcome. That advice will only cost you a meager 10% of your net winnings. Small, unmarked bills, please and thank you.

I'd obviously have you whacked for far less than that.....

You could have so much fun with donations. "I would be delighted to fund the symphony this year. The first show just has to be all nude."

Two chicks at the same time.

If I ever became filthy, ridiculously rich I would definitely try to buy the Royals.
