You are so right, I have heard recommendations that winners should find money managers first before they collect their winnings. But then if you don't know anything about money, how do you know you have someone honest?Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-6193489332577902902016-01-11T23:13:45.567-05:002016-01-11T23:13:45.567-05:00I have seen the Owl on Facebook-it is really neat....I have seen the Owl on Facebook-it is really neat.

If I was to win the Powerball, I would keep what our annual salaries are for the next 20 years (doubt we'll be alive that long) and put that into savings and then set up some type of foundation to help others with the rest of the money or just give the rest of the money to the various churches I've attended over the years. Definitely would be content with 1/100th or less of the winnings. <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-66934527584541094572016-01-11T08:26:48.723-05:002016-01-11T08:26:48.723-05:00That owl pic is sooooo awesome.

Guess I'll reinvest it in more tickets. I agree that at some point they need to split the pot into smaller pots.
