Top Lottery Attorney: How to Handle a Billion-Dollar Win — The Good, Bad & Chaotic

What actually happens behind the scenes when someone wins a billion dollars?

In this interview, the nation’s top lottery lawyer Kurt Panouses explains how a winner should handle the chaos of a massive jackpot, including the family blow-ups, the dangerous missteps, and the must-know moves that protect your life before claiming.

Panouses represented one of the largest lottery prizes in U.S. history ($1.05 BILLION Mega Millions in 2021) and has guided dozens of multimillion-dollar winners through the good, the bad, and the extremely chaotic moments that come with sudden wealth.

From divorce landmines,
to vanishing quietly out of your hometown,
to the one mistake that destroys anonymity,
to the psychology of going from average income to extreme wealth overnight,
Kurt explains what a winner must be prepared for and how to properly handle a billion-dollar lottery win.
