Way back when the Ohio Lottery just started- my brother was working at an auto parts store in Cleveland. One of the regular customer's son hit. He had to move to Florida, because everyone he knew (or 1\2 knew) was trying to hit him up for money.....  

My kids both know they'd have to find me in the Caribbean somewhere. LOL!

EDIT: Some place where I can snorkel all day and get Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva easily.

There was a show awhile back on "how the lottery ruined my life"...... stuff just like that. One guy hit, a former coworker came over and wanted money (public notice on the win), he said no the guy burned his garage down, many stories like that.

MHO, it's why it would be way more cool to just hit on a nice mundane $80 million jackpot and slip away to the Bahamas...   Whoever won might need the FBI witness protection program to keep the leeches away....

I saw today where FLA winners can NOT remain anonymous like Ohio and some other states, talk about ruining your day! And they can NOT verify the winning ticket until Monday that sucks too.

According to Forbes they're worth around 1.95 Billion dollars now.  

And when you're talking about after tax disposable money that's a LOT! What kind of net worth would you need? $8 billion? $10 billion? More?

And All that would still not be nearly enough to buy the Browns.

Not anymore that's a multibillionaire or conglomerate game, don't you miss the old simpler times when millionaires were people too?
