Depending on the state you have up to a full year in which to step forward and claim your prize. More than enough time to assemble a team of advisers----lawyer, financial, philanthropy, etc.----to decide whether to take the lump sum or annual payments.

Scary amount of money.

Most of us common folk wouldn't have a clue where to go or whom to speak to about assembling this "team".
It would only take one shrewd team member to skip the country with that massive amount of wealth.
Any suggestions?

Honesty helping.

Bitcoin

Nope.....don't think so.
It's too late in the game for this old feedah driver to lose his rear in fantasy land bitcoin.

You got any idea how much interest is earned on this kind of money in a savings account?

I'm sure some preload multi millionaire investors could offer some advice.

The Illinois Lottery allows winners to request anonymity if the prize is greater than $250,000, which certainly applies in this case. You may request to keep your name and municipality of residence confidential at the time of claiming your prize.

Hmmm moles everywhere

I hope it was won by some POS getto rat. I love those stories about how idiots burn through millions of dollars only to die of an overdose.
