Soooo....can us Swedes legit play this?
First time I've ever played the lotto and I purchased two tickets. I wonder if anyone will win.
Soooo....can us Swedes legit play this?
I'm glad I'm not close with my family or even know half of my family.
Sure, as long as you're careful about not giving cash. The money needs to have conditions, and it needs to have caps.You skipped Step 2b: Slice off a chunk of friends and family fun money.
Winners should invest most, but use a bit to just go hog wild. Get it out of the system and party.
Yes, absolutely.Disappearing is probably the most important step.
Which is why you disappear. Almost all of those issues are not really relevant if you're gone (even better, change your name).There's a reddit link on this page that details the history of big money winners. It basically dramatically increases your odds of having all manner of terrible things happen to you. You'd have to be very careful. The worst part is, it's people you know and trust who end up abusing you because of your money.
Yeah that would be legitimately fucking scary. Time to drop off the face of the planet. Go to the lottery office, claim your prize, and immediately get on the next plane out of the country.could you imagine if you lived in a very impoverished area and won that much money?
itd be a modern day lynching, shit id have to cut off my whole extended family, move to Japan or someshit lol
I see that I'm dating myself here. ;_;I'm not familiar with some modern vernacular.
What the hell does Step 4 mean?
Where is this simulator? I must try it!I bought a ticket. Even after running that simulator for 1500 years and not winning, lol. But hey, I won the 1 million prize at around the 400 year mark! ROI of over -50% then

Erase all social media accounts. Disseapear from the country for a year or 2.
Come back move to a city where no one has any idea who you are, and start over as a rich man.
Not that hard.
I would very much enjoy that. That's a month of rent and some extra money for my vacation.If I win, I'll give everyone in this thread 1K.

I ran it for 30 years and got -90% ROI lol
Don't you have months (or even a year?) to actually claim the winnings? More than enough time to, temporarily even, change your name to something else and throw off the scent.
Bonus points if you change your name to some douchebag's you know that lives in the same city you do, then they'll get all the heat and attention but none of the money.
The problem is, a lot of your info is public record if you cannot accept anonymously, and entire industries are built around robbing lotto winners of their cash. If it's at all possible to find you, they will.
The correct hing to do if you win is get a good lawyer, estate planner, and financial advisor, and have everything geared to protect yourself and the cash before you ever accept the winnings.
That looks to be the average ROI. Mine is at 10,000 years now and at -90%.
If I win the lottery, I would leave the United States. Seriously. The US is almost the only country on Earth where the names of lottery winners are made public. Fuck that. I'll vanish somewhere in Europe. No one will ever see me again in the US.
If I win I'll legit give everyone in this thread 100k.
I'm dead serious, Gaf is part of my fam.

Well, according to that reddit post, your fam is more likely to kill you, so good luck.
Is it possible to win publicly and retain a normal life? As in, avoiding mass attention from people who don't know you, harassing emails, phone calls, letters and visits to your address...
My goal if we win would be the following:
Pay off debts for ourselves and family
Help set up immediate family such as parents, grandparents and siblings so that they are in stable financially and self sustainable within their living situations based on their monthly income.
Find a nice piece of land within 30-45 minutes from where I was born. Possibly somewhere secluded and private. Draft plans for a dream home costing no more than 1-2 million, with extensive security features such as a padlock fence, etc.
Settle for new, reliable family vehicles. No sports cars, no classic cars, no collecting cars. Just an SUV that can fit a family of five comfortably for long trips, and a 4 door truck with high towing capacity for a decently sized boat.
Obviously we'd like to set aside money to travel the world extensively, without doing so lavishly and spending absurd amounts to eat, drink and sleep in expensive locations.
Lastly, I'd want to start a business in the town I was born. Locally, there is nothing left in this town for entertainment but the local movie theater. We once had a bowling alley and a skating rink, but they were both owned by the same family and mismanaged into closing. I'd like to think I could turn a decent profit by opening a new bowling alley, with top of the line equipment and staff. In addition to this bowling alley, I'd like to include a restaurant conjoined with it, as well as a small bar, pool table area and an arcade that has a heavy emphasis on retro games.
I believe I'd live very much like I do now, so I'm not sure how I'd manage to spend over 400 million and bankrupt myself. It looks like the odds are against everyone who wins, though.
So if you only win $1 I still get $1000? SWEET!If I win, I'll give everyone in this thread 1K.
