After Uncle Sam takes his cut, your winnings will not be so lucrative, Nonetheless, congratulations on your windfall.

Funny you should say that.
Back in 2004, I hit the Pick-4 straight and boxed TWICE for close to $8000. Bought a snow-blower for the Hubby, paid bills, did something anonymously for someone, and not-so-anonymously for a few other peeps.
Knowing I had to pay taxes on the winnings, I started collecting as many "dead" lottery tickets as I could and enlisted help from my friends with bribes of these pecans I make. In the end, I collected more than enough to cover my winnings, sorted and totaled all the dead tickets in case of an audit - they're still in the basement in nice, neat bundles. Didn't have to pay a dime in taxes, and was never audited.
Word to the wise.
And scratch offs are even better since you can hold them over a year end - they don't know when you bought them, if they didn't win.

We already have a bunch of 'dead' tickets. But we have rolled over our winnings to the MN lottery tonight!
