Tips for Joining the Next Billion-Dollar Race • Buy from a licensed retailer; online sales are limited to select states. • Add Power Play for $1 to multiply non-jackpot prizes up to 10X when jackpots are under $150 million (2X–5X otherwise). • Consider a lottery pool to increase ticket volume without overspending. Remember: pools must document rules and ticket ownership before the drawing. What to Do if You Hit Big 1. Sign the ticket and secure it in a fireproof safe. 2. Consult a tax attorney, financial planner, and estate specialist before claiming. 3. Remain anonymous if your state permits; otherwise, prepare for publicity. 4. Create a long-term investment and tax strategy; sudden wealth can vanish without proper planning. Lottery Odds Reality Check The odds of matching all six numbers are 1 in 292.2 million.
