So you won the lottery What Next?

5. and think of having family members as part winners from the start-you will save much in taxes

If you are planning on giving the kids/etc. a big share later, do it now.

Instead of one winner, say four winners each with a 25% share. The technicality will save if not millions hundreds of thousands in taxes per person and make each of them have their own plan now, not later(for those with older family of course.) Younger kids you will want to put it in trust for when they are older(the older the better).

So someone can get a little piece that would have just gone to the government

and remember, more people have rotten stories to tell after winning big. Don't become something you are not, that is the most important.
Nobody needs all that money.

and be careful health wise, don't get so hyper you get a heart attack. It's only money
and money can't buy you love

and I think if someone asks for some of it? Don't give that person. Give to the person least likely to ask.(Remember that person in a favorite restaurant, or a supermarket cashier, or some person where you live who deserves a little break)
