Powerball winner pitfalls: After you hit the jackpot, 'Don't do this,' says Philadelphia lawyer
Fox News
The Powerball jackpot is at $1.9 billion — and Philadelphia attorney Andrew Santana, who is with Fox Rothschild LLC, reveals what not to do after winning the lottery.
The drawing takes place on Monday, November 7, at 10:59 p.m. ET. In most cases of lottery winnings, it’s easy to make "too many commitments and spend too much money quickly." You could even tip off others about your big win by making extravagant purchases, said Santana. Deirdre Reilly is a senior editor in lifestyle with Fox News Digital.
The cash option would net a lucky winner $929.1 million — minus 37% federal taxes and all applicable state income taxes, as FOX Business has reported.
