Things You Should Do If You Win Tonight’s Powerball Jackpot

Tonight's Powerball jackpot is $450 million dollars. And yes, even though the odds of winning are 290 million to one, it's always fun to think about what you'd do if you won! I don't mean the first thing you'd buy like a house or a car. There are some things that if you WERE to win you need to do immediately!

First of all, sign the back of your ticket. That way no one can steal it from you and claim the prize. If you win, don't tell anyone! I know, it will be really tough NOT to call and tell your parents, in-laws and others you just hit the mother load. You don't want everyone hitting you up for money right away.

If you win you'll also need to hire a money management team. We're talking an estate planner, financial planner and an accountant. Do it BEFORE you go claim your prize. They can explain why you should take the lump sum instead of the yearly payments. Don't start spending it right away! 44% of lottery winners blow through their money in the first five years! Granted, if you win tonight, it will be tough to blow through $450 million. And finally, QUIT YOUR JOB! We all know people who say they love their job so much they'd do it for free! Not me. If I win tonight you'll never hear my voice on the radio again! Good luck!
