I’ve read the famous lottery post enough times to know the major bullet points to follow after winning (not that I’ll ever win, because I don’t play the lottery):
- Don’t tell anyone.
- Go to your nearest big city and hire a partnered lawyer in trust & estates from one of the big national law firms. Look them up on martindale.com, apparently.
- Decide how you want to split your winnings and have your new lawyer handle the distribution.
- Yada yada, typical personal finance investing advice (good to follow even without a lottery).
- Live off the returns/interests earned.
