WORCESTER, MASS.-Ryan Kittredge, President of ClearPath Financial Partners, offers some guidance if you’re lucky enough to win Mega Millions or Power Ball. Kittredge advises to be patient, create a plan, and avoid major changes in the initial months after the win. The first step should be to assemble a team of three key professionals: a qualified financial advisor, a CPA, and an attorney experienced in creating blind trusts to maintain the winner’s anonymity. Ryan says even if you have won millions there is no need to take on “undue risk” with investments; instead, basic, tried-and-true strategies like high-yield savings, CDs, and index funds can preserve your wealth. Some common pitfalls of coming into a large sum of money through winning the lottery or getting a large inheritance is you can be a target for loans from family and friends, which could lead to both financial and personal complications. “Don’t do anything rash, and you’ll be, I think, on the right track just by not making these pitfalls, falling into these pitfalls that often lottery winners do.”
