In my pocket there's a folded square paper potentially worth six hundred and seventy five million (you know how Donald Trump says the word "million"....) dollars.....

In that league it's handled by your personal banker, secretary, accountant...
so you don't have to know.

Suspicious that anonymous states have more winnings.

Passaic also won a big jackpot 2 years ago. Unfortunately, the winner most definitely was not a yid.

I WON!

$1.06 after splitting it with the group.

Anyone have a good wealth manager to recommend?

I read a few newspaper articles a few years ago (sorry, don't have links) that most lottery winners would go back in time and rip up the ticket if it was possible. Many high profile lottery winners have had their relatives kidnapped and other such stories (if I remember the articles correctly). It also stated that most of them lost their friends, because everyone tried to butter them up, and they no longer knew who was genuine and who wasn't so they ended up as depressed hermits. I may be wrong. Maybe someone could find a link?

The zman?
They should write "based on a true story" on the front cover.

My intention of the report was to answer Baruch who asked for a link and someone else who asked why he would lose friends and not gain friends. And no, it was not the Zman. The main article that I remember was actually in a newspaper that read over the shoulder of the guy sitting next to me on the train.
