Less than 1% of the money donated to Haiti actually made it to Haiti. That's bullshit
Money: Mark Cuban advice for whoever wins the $1.4 billion Powerball lottery

A $6.1-million lottery prize is in limbo after a court injunction prevented an Ontario man from cashing in a Lotto 6/49 ticket that his former live-in girlfriend claims is half hers.
Maurice Thibeault showed up at OLG’s Toronto prize centre recently with one of the two winning tickets in the Sept. 20 jackpot worth $12.2 million.
But before the Chatham resident could collect the money, Denise Robertson, 46, obtained an emergency court injunction and alerted OLG not to hand over the disputed millions.
Sources close to Robertson say she had asked Thibeault days earlier if the ticket — with the numbers 6, 17, 29, 37, 45, and 47 — had won and he responded it hadn’t.
Friends say she thought nothing of it until he moved out of her house five days after the draw.
Over their two years and one month of living together in her house — along with her teenage daughter from a previous marriage — the couple frequently played the lottery, alternating each week who would buy the tickets, said a source close to the long-time federal public servant.
Thibeault’s associates dispute that there was any such arrangement, pointing out he purchased the ticket at a Chatham convenience store using a debit card linked to his personal bank account.
Sources said the surveillance footage of him buying the winning ticket has been erased, but there is a bank receipt of the transaction.
They also said she texted him to ask only if he had bought a ticket, not whether their numbers had come up.
His friends also maintain he had been planning to separate from her for months and only managed to do so when he “got lucky” and won the lottery.
On Sept. 25, Robertson arrived home from work to find Thibeault, a 46-year-old father of three, had cleared out all his belongings from their shared home, according to three people who know the couple.
She then learned from mutual friends he had also quit his job at a local granite and glass supply company. A colleague had emailed the entire office that Thibeault had won, which is how she learned of the windfall.
“She couldn’t believe it,” said a person close to her, who, like others interviewed for this story, spoke on condition of anonymity.
Robertson contacted Windsor lawyer Anita Landry, who immediately phoned OLG headquarters in Toronto and obtained an injunction in a Windsor courtroom on Sept. 28.
“This motion, made without notice, by the plaintiff for an order that the defendant Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation not distribute the proceeds of the winning 6/49 lottery ticket from Wednesday, Sept. 20, 2017 in the amount of $6,146,722.60 until the ownership issue can be disposed of ,” the court document reads.
But the legal injunction wasn’t necessary — everything was put on hold as soon as the Crown gaming agency was aware there was a dispute surrounding the ownership of the ticket.
That means Robertson, who declined to comment through her lawyer, could be entitled to more than $3 million of the prize.
Thibeault — who is “laying low” in an undisclosed location until the matter is resolved, according to a friend — also declined to comment.
The other half of the $12.2 million bonanza was won by a ticket holder in Quebec.
OLG’s senior manager of media relations Tony Bitonti said there are very strict procedures surrounding the awarding ofprizes.
“The prize claim process is a process OLG would have followed regardless of whether there was an injunction or not,” said Bitonti.
“Anyone or group presenting a ticket worth $1,000 or more is subject to the prize claim review process to determine ownership of the specific ticket. For prizes of $10,000 or more, this review process includes a mandatory in-person interview of the claimant conducted by an OLG prize claims investigator,” the spokesperson said.
“While OLG has key information about the ticket — where and when it was purchased, was it purchased with other lottery products, etc. — in addition, we ask the claimant certain questions about the ticket and the circumstances surrounding its purchase in order to confirm ownership,” he said.
“If, for any reason, our prize claim review team cannot confidently determine the ownership of the ticket from the answers to the questions from the interview, then the claim is sent to OLG general investigations for further review. This further review can include interviewing other individuals with relevant information surrounding the prize claim.”
A prize is awarded only after OLG — which has revamped its procedures after ascandalsurrounding questionable insider wins a decade ago — completes its investigation.
OLG investigators sometimes examine months-old surveillance video from variety stores and gas stations where tickets are sold to determine buying patterns.
They use computerized “data analysis and retrieval technology” to analyze billions of transactions per second and can identify ticket purchase characteristics to thwart fraudsters.

People don't plan. I've been planning for this moment for fucking years. I haven't decided whether my check out day is 2 months 2 weeks and 2 days from the drawing or 3 months 3 weeks and 3 days.
I'm not immediately quitting my job, but I'm not doing much work while I'm there. If I'm in dire straits, I walk into my bank and ask to speak to the highest ranking person there, and then ask to speak to their boss.
"Look, I'm going to tell you something and and hear any mention of it you're going to lose your job and everything you own, capiche?
I I just hit the lottery for $500,000 and until I cash it in I need a loan for $10,000 right now today.
Now, if this gets out to anybody but you, not your boss, not your friends, not your wife, not your freaking dog... I'm going to your boss and tell him that I told you and then tell him I'm pulling all of my money out of his bank...then going on the news saying "You can't trust SuchAndSuch Bank."
$10k, right now."
Now, this would be if I'm desperate which I'm not, but if I needed money that's what I do.
Since I don't, two weeks before I leave my job I would go in a Decked Out suit. Walking to my boss's office and tell him I need to leave at noon for a job interview. Two weeks later I leave, everybody assumes I got the job. None of them see me again.
During that time I will have worked, strategize, got financial planners, lawyers and all that good shit. My whole shit will be planned out and I sit in my cubicle for 7 hours a day doing my own thing.
Since I have a government job I'm taking early retirement (18 years including my military time)

It's because financial literacy is not taught encouraged or shared
Most people don't understand how a TRUST works
Hell most people don't have a will
Or even life insurance.
Also why MANY who win large lottery numbers...
Lose it all in 10 years
Or die.
You’re Correct and I understand but damn, this that shit ye was talking about, generational wealth.
Every race does it but black folks, most of us don’t even think we can pass money on after death.
Niggas wanna blow it all at Gucci, Mercedes etc before they die.
sad

DON'T TELL A SOUL THAT

The Powerball lottery has reached a record high of $1.4 billion.
On Wednesday night, someone might win the jackpot and — even if they don’t actually take home $1.4 billion — become incredibly rich in a matter of moments.
Billionaire Mark Cuban has some idea of what that’s like.
Cuban recounted the moment he became a billionaire on an episode of James Altucher’s podcast: “I was sitting in front of a computer, naked, hitting the refresh because we were close — waiting until my net worth hit that billion when the stock price got to a certain point, and then I kinda screamed and jumped around and then got dressed."
Years later, what would he advise a newly minted multimillionaire or billionaire?
Business Insider reached out to Cuban to ask about his tips for potential lottery winners, and he shared the advice he gave his local paper, the Dallas Morning News:
He also shared one last bonus tip with Business Insider: "Be nice. No one likes a mean billionaire.

Yeah but couldn t you make more investing the billionsYou get
$43,333,333.33 A YEAR FOR 30 YEARS.... LESS TAXES
Not bad
The one thing Cuban was right about if you are getting 43 mil GUARANTEED for 30 years, why even bother with investing.
Legacy... most wealth is lost after one or two generations.
You can set up trust funds and other investments that can be working for those you leave behind.
