Man, if he's not disciplined enough to take care of the only two front teeth God gave him, how in heaven's name is he going to be disciplined enough to manage over $100 million?

If he has any brains behind that toothless grin he will have a good attorney set up a trust that he only has restricted access to. No doubt this will be a huge learning experience for him and his multiple families.

He's seeking advice to figure out to take it over 30 years or loose half and take a lump sum?! Thats close to 10mill a year before tax, how much money do ya need?

Really, I guess either way, it's a lot of money.

That's for sure. He'll have so many cousins coming out of the woods wanting a piece of it.

Stupid for letting them identify him.

Good for him. Wish him the best of luck. Invest invest invest. Fortunes are made in recessions.

A Missouri man who won a $258 million Powerball jackpot and plans to use some of the money to pay bills and take his children to Disney World says he hasn't decided yet if he'll quit his job at the convenience store where he bought the winning ticket.
It's rigged... He figured out the system.. bought it where he works good for him...

But as you see...
If Shaw takes a lump-sum payment, the state income taxes due on the winnings would be about $6 million,
State's gotta get their cut too
