The lotteries are getting up there again. I know, I know -- the odds are pretty slim for someone winning the lotto.
However, someone always does. Why not us?
1. Protect the ticket. Stash original in safe deposit box.
2. Stay anonymous and move to a not so known town to avoid media.
3. Enlist help before claiming prize. Get an attorney, accountant, and planner.
4. Get the lump sum for tax reasons...
