    If I win the lotto my only objectives is how to hide my money, how to not pay taxes.

    Congratulations, and on behalf of the IRS, welcome to the 37% tax bracket. If you haven’t been here before, please take a moment to realize you will get the patriotic joy of paying what politicians call “your fair share”. While we will go ahead and take 24% right off the top ($189,600) of your winnings, you will probably need to send us another $50K or so at tax time. We at the IRS love our lottery winners.
