So, I'm assuming YOU'VE won the Powerball jackpot.

Congratulations.

I was hoping it would be me, but as your new best friend, I want to do the right thing and give you some advice. We talked about some of these tips this morning on the radio, but if you're like a lot of my friends, something came up and you couldn't listen. I understand. I'm sure you'll make it up to me.

First, sign the ticket. If you lose it and somebody finds it and THEY sign it - it's theirs. And that would suck. So sign the ticket and put it in a safe. If you don't have a safe, go buy one. They sell them at Walmart you know.

Second, the experts all say - get a tax attorney. A good one - not some "Better Call Saul" type guy. Forbes Magazine has good advice about this.

Third - they say you shouldn't do anything drastic for six months, like making huge purchases or quitting your job. But, hey - you just won a billion dollars. I say, make a scene at work, storm out and I'll help you pick out a private jet this weekend.

And start shopping for your new jet by clicking here.

Call me.
