Now it is good to have a plan if you win the lottery, but as most financial consultants agree the lady who won one of the single largest pots in Powerball history started out by doing something wrong. She cashed it out and started spending the winnings.
Most who do this are broke within 5 years since they are blown through the winning. One of the best things to do is call your accountant and lawyer, so that they can inform you of all the legal ramifications. Now I am not says that someone who comes into lots of money can't have a little fun, but no one wants to end up worse then they started out in the long run.
