Read the full story → https://bit.ly/JackpotJackass A New Hampshire woman won a $559.7 million Powerball jackpot in January 2018, signed her ticket exactly as the lottery’s website instructed, and then had to fight in court to keep her identity private. This documentary follows the 10 make-or-break decisions lottery winners face after the numbers match: how to claim the ticket, whether their name becomes public, how to choose between a lump sum and an annuity, and what happens when the first requests for money arrive. We examine the tax bill that can follow the initial payout, the advisers winners put in the room, the money they give relatives, the pace of their spending, and the people they let get close. Through Brad Duke, Jack Whittaker, Sharon Tirabassi, Michael Carroll, and other winners, we also explore the repeated claim that most lottery winners go broke and what sudden wealth can actually change about a person’s life. Brad Duke chose his team in those first quiet weeks. Sharon Tirabassi set money aside in a trust for her children, preserving part of the prize even after much of her fortune was spent. Their stories show how decisions made early can shape what survives years later. 💬 If you woke up tomorrow with a winning ticket, which decision would you get wrong first: telling people, spending, or choosing whom to trust?
