How to find out if a mega millions winner was a quick pick or pick your own numbers?
Answer: Read about the story on-line or in the local papers from the winner's hometown. It usually tells you.
It's all pointless anyway. Why do you need to know? It won't help you.
I can tell you right now that approximately 70% of all jackpot winners were from Quick Picks. So what? Does that mean Quick Picks have a better chance of winning? Absolutely, positively not.
The only reason 70% of all winners are Quick Picks is because 70% of ALL TICKETS SOLD are Quick Picks!!!
If 90% of tickets were QP, then 90% of the winners would be from QP. If only 20% were QP, then only 20% of winners would be from QP.

If you won second prize in mega millions do you have to split it with other winners?
If you win second prize, $250,000.... And there were 8 other people who won second prize... Do you have to split it among them like the jackpot?
Answer: Everyone would get their money. All the other winners even for matching the Power Ball etc all get paid out of the grand prize money even if there was a winner. Each winner would be paid and the grand prize winner gets whats left. He/she could then take the millions in 26 yearly installments or elect to take 1/2 of the prize now. The States would keep the other. If the pot was 100 million you could take 50 million now. The State then keeps 40% for Federal taxes, plus State taxes such as in the case of Illinois its 3%. You would end up with about 21 and 1/2 million and those that had winning tickets for $250,000 and on down to all that matched other pay out numbers would get there money out of the 21 and 1/2 million. Still enough left to be set for life if you spent it wisely gaining interest such as on annuities with a reputable proven Insurance Company. I wouldn't put a dime in the stock market or a bank, they both are crooks for the super rich and would make sure I had about a million in cash on hand stored in some secret place since there is no guarantee in life.

Best law firm for mega millions winner?
Do certain firms excel at assisting Mega millions winners?
Answer: What do you need a lawyer for? Tax-wise, coming into a large sum of money isn't rocket science. Any tax preparer will be able to help you file correctly. Unless what you're asking is for a law firm to help you weasel out of the tax payment.
Also, expect to change your phone number... a *lot*. Because the identities of the winners are public, you'll be hounded, for the rest of your life, by people trying to get you to invest in their crazy ideas or to help save the whales or whatever. Because of *that*, actually, what you might want to consider doing is see a lawyer about maybe finding some homeless dude, send *him* forward with the winning ticket (after setting up all the contracts with him, of course), and then have him transfer all of the winnings to you (except for a few thousand for him for his troubles). That way, you'd stay off of the radar of the investment-seekers...
