Anyone know if a ncp wins lottery. How does the BM factor in? What is her cut? I am sure there is a % that goes to her just because.
Just curious. I know I have a better chance of being struck by lightning 3x or something like that but for $1 I'll take those odds.

Go AliceP. That is my idea exactly. I would have a lawyer claim it for me, then that lawyer would go after BM! I am determined that if I win, BM will not see one red cent of that money! }:) I know BM would just spend the money on herself, not on SS4.

You can register a corporation and make yourself the President & CEO. Leave your spouse with the crazy ex off of all of the paperwork and then claim the winnings under the corporation name. The ex will not be able to get their greedy harpy claws on it. I don't know if this will work in a community property state (AZ, CA, ID, LA NV, NM, TX, WA, WI).

Yes...I've put some thought into this already. Smile

Also, if you win make sure you get a recommendation for a financial planner and treat your winnings as an investment for your future. There have been too many winners that have filed bankruptcy because they blew all of their winnings.

WOW....you have put a lot of thought into it...so do you register a corporation before you win then?

The funny thing is that as much thought as I've put into this, we very rarely buy tickets! Smile

Since you have a period of time to claim the prize, you can register the corporation first once you find out if you've won. Then I would get meet with a recommended financial planner to discuss a strategy. And then I would claim the prize (or have an attorney or representative claim it).

Even a million dollar prize is a huge amount of money and I would want to be smart with it in order to get as much out of it as possible.

There's also the burning desire to keep Uberskank's harpy claws out of the money. I don't mind DH putting a certain amount aside for his child, in fact I insist on it. Especially to help with college or a fund for after she graduates.

But I absolutely do not want Uberskank to benefit once again from someone's gain.

i haven't bought a lotto ticket in years! but it's high and i'm considering it. Smile

anywho i agree...i would definitely set aside a college/wedding ect fund for them. but i don't what the money going to her...she might not spend it all on herself, but she wouldn't use it to better her child's future either. she's just quit working.

The BM in your life occasionally works?? What's that like?

Uberskank went to school for two years, after losing a great job (showing up to work is apparently too much to ask of her). She graduated in a good field that needs workers. Got a job at a nice place and then.......DH's kid is still pretending Uberskank has a job. But we've already figured out she either quit or got fired before Christmas.

yeah...she works 10 hrs a week. to meet the minimum state requirement a woman must claim for child support! she's a nurse...

i could go on and on...she also claims that her mom charges her to watch sd10 and 8 $120/week while she's at work but her mom doesn't charge for her 18month old son from a different man at all!

did i mention she works 10/hrs a week while skids are in school?

she's a real piece of work!

oh...did i mention dh paid her way through school...all 8 years for a 2 year degree...stupid cow!

I would share with her just to get her to move far away, but I wouldn't want to be told to share. My husband thinks that if you take lump sum and don't advance your lifestyle drastically then there is no claim. I would consider not advancing my lifestyle for a few years so that her grubby paws wouldn't have a take on the $

DH and I talked about this when we bought our tickets (didn't win anything) but our plan was that if we win, I claim the winnings as SM- then BM has no rights to the money bc it's not DH's it's mine- but she's stupid enough to think now she's going to get more CS when I get my teaching job too bc it's our money not just his or mine-

SS will get a college fund set up, we file again for full custody and get it this time- already have more than BM- must say something about her bc the courts gave DH more custody than BM.

Pay BM x amt of dollars to get the f out of our lives and move far far away!
