The Five Things Experts Say You Should Do If You Win Powerball

Huge jackpot

Tonight's Powerball Jackpot is estimated to be over 1.2 BILLION dollars, your chances of winning it are roughly One in 3 Hundred Million, but still for two bucks, why not give it a shot?

Of course if you are the lucky winner of the entire Jackpot, you have decisions to make, a lot of decisions.

Do you take the lump sum or do you opt for the annuity?

That's a big decision because you can get it all at once but it will be a lot less than if you opt for the annuity of say, 19 Million a year for 2o plus years. I personally would love to know that at the end of the year I can expect a nice fat check.

Experts say there are Five things you need to do if you're the lucky winner.

Make sure to secure the winning ticket. Make photocopies of the ticket and keep it safe in a safety deposit box at a bank and keep it quiet.

It's going to be very important that you hire a top tier accounting firm, remember, now you can afford the very best!

Now that you're super rich, you'll want to protect your assets, which means hiring the very best law firm you can find, because you better believe that people will want a piece of your assets.

You want your Millions to continue to grow and that means hiring the best Investment firm you can find. Again, you can afford the very best now, so hire the best one you can find. They will be more than happy to have your business, trust us.

Every expert agrees that you have to keep your good fortune a secret from anyone outside your household (and that includes your kids). You need to get everything in order and buttoned up tight before you go public. In Massachusetts you don't even have to show your face, so you might consider keeping your luck on lock down.
