The 800 mill is what you get from the 1.6 billion jackpot.
Reality is the thousands of old friends and relatives you haven't heard from in years that suddenly show up at your door :rofl:
I heard that the 800 million would still be taxed, but that must be just state taxed..

Depends on if you take the cash option or annuity.
Take the lump sum around 27% then another 10%

When you file income taxes . Higher tax racket, I' mean bracket:realcrazy: That's just federal.

This is why you claim it via a trust. And then make damn sure your wife understands to keep her mouth shut. Then you move to a new state or country and disappear

Depends. That the lump sum at 800-1 billion, lose 40 percent of that in taxes. So that leaves you what, 500 million, take 5 to 10 million in cash, put the rest into a Roth IRA spread out over multiple ETFs like the Dow Jones or S&P500 that pay dividends, live off the 5-10 million in cash for the first 5 years . After 5 years, all those dividends would be tax free.

Depends on the state. Some allow it some dont.

Right but in the meantime while you’re waiting, shop the private islands for sale off the Florida coast. And set up an LLC holding corp for 100 bucks , use it to buy the island and to be the holder of the trust you use to claim the lottery.
 
If you can’t tell, this has been a topic at the work water cooler for YEARS. We used to chip in and buy lotto tickets every month or so. And being we had engineers and even lawyers on our team, this discussion of what to do if we ever won, came up all the dang time
 
Need to ask about handing 50 million to each of my two sons, if thats a down fall for them and me..

Simple. Do NOT give it to them. If you “give” it to them, it’s a gift in the IRS eyes, which is taxed at 36 percent or higher . Plus then the state gets involved.

However, setting up a trust fund with them each as a beneficiary, completely avoids the gift tax and is 100 percent legal under the tax code. Hence why all your rich people set that up for their kids. From Bezos, to Trump, to most any Hollywood actor, the trust fund is the key to legally moving the money and avoiding taxes.
