I won the freaking lottery!

I can't freaking believe it! I am at a loss for words right now, my head is spinning!

What are standard taxes on prize money? I need to find a lawyer, and an accountant... there is just too much to think about right now.

How much should I give to charity? Is there a fixed %?

This is just all coming at me too fast, I can't cope right now.

Has anyone else ever won the lottery? I could use some advice here.

Tell me your "winnings" story!

if it's a tidy sum - talk to a financial planner or tax attorney before doing anything...

and congratulations

I guess it all depends on how much you won.

Also, I know a great tax guy/financial planner in the area if it was a nice sum. PM me and I'll give you his name and info.

Congrats!

you go boy!!! congratz. i have absolutely no idea what i'd do in your situation...i guess i'd still be basking in the fact that i won the freaking lottery! don't worry...you don't have to know just yet. take some time to process it all and when you feel you are ready to dael with it, deal with it then, coz i imagine that you are still in shock and anyone would be. just take your time...and congratz again.

All in all it's about $15.00 So... $7.50 after taxes if I am doing my math right.

I couldn't believe it when I scratched off that last number. I was in tears, jumping about like a spider monkey on coke. It was like the culmination of my being.

I can finally afford those "socks" I always wanted... but I am not going to do that.

This might sound odd to everyone, but I am giving 100% of it to the TFP. The place I love. Hal, do with it as you will, I trust you. Use it for the greater good.

Take Visa?

You can be the meat in our Hal/Crack sandwich. All I ask is for some cuddle time afterwards. There shall be no TALKING! Maybe light whistling... (and a bit of crying...)

This is the best response that could have been given to the OP, considering Crack's rediculously long Nigerian post not-long-enough-ago!
