As Mega Millions lottery reaches $790M, Here's How To Stay Safe And Secure If You Win

The Mega Millions estimated jackpot has reached $790 million — the lottery board’s third-largest jackpot in its 20-year history. The jackpot will likely surpass this amount by the next drawing on Tuesday evening, July 26.
As players pick their numbers in 45 states plus Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands — and dream about their chances of winning — few know how they’d protect themselves if they actually won.
Financial experts have resources available for lottery hopefuls.
MEGA MILLIONS LOTTERY JACKPOT IS NOW AN ASTOUNDING $790M FOR TUESDAY NIGHT'S DRAWING
Here’s what lottery boards, insurance companies and private wealth management advise lottery winners do to keep their personal life and funds safe and secure.
Lottery players need to look out for scams whether they’ve won or not.
Some scammers falsely identify themselves as lottery employees to steal money from unsuspecting people, Mega Millions warns.
"No representative of Mega Millions would ever call, text or e-mail anyone about winning a prize," the multi-jurisdictional lottery board’s website says.
Lottery scammers are "persistent," use real or made-up company names, and offer a "free play" or "prize" to try to look legitimate, warns Mega Millions.
Scammers can also ask for personal information or payments that they claim are for "taxes" or "fees."
Helpful tips that Mega Millions offers include being suspicious of any lottery winning from a game that’s never been played, as well as being suspicious of emails that come in with "misspellings or poor grammar."
The lottery board also warns that people should be suspicious if a contact asks to keep correspondence confidential or asks for banking information.
"No real lottery tells winners to put up their own money in order to collect a prize they have already won," Mega Millions notes.
Lottery winners should put together a team of financial experts if they’ve won a large prize, Mega Millions says.
The lottery board recommends that winners look into resources, financial planning tools and personal specialists from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, a national professional organization that has more than 428,000 CPAs affiliated with it. Lawyers and financial advisers could also be worth consideration, according to State Farm Insurance.

The Currency Reset Is Accelerating And Gold Knows It
Taylor Kenny: 9-11-2026
The currency reset may not happen in one dramatic moment. It could already be happening right in front of us.
Gold is surging—but what if the real story isn’t gold at all? The most important question may not be “How high can gold go?” It may be: What will the dollar be worth when it gets there?
Economic systems undergo natural cycles, but historical patterns reveal a consistent trajectory regarding unbacked paper money.

Tishwash: Why hasn't an oil and gas law been enacted? A former minister reveals the reasons.
Former MP and Minister Zuhair al-Jalabi revealed on Thursday the reasons why political parties have not moved forward with enacting the oil and gas law, despite nearly two decades having passed since attempts to pass this crucial legislation.
Al-Jalabi told Al-Maalouma, "The issue of annexing land from Nineveh Governorate to the Kurdistan Region is practically over, especially since the administrative boundaries of the governorates are defined within the Ministry of Planning and cannot be changed except by a decision from the Council of Representatives through a vote on a new administrative map of the governorates."

The Dinar Must Be Changed! We Won't Remove Zeros, But The Current Currency Will Not Last
2026-09-09 |964 Following banking warnings that money hoarded in homes and outside banks is disrupting the liquidity cycle and weakening the banking system, an idea is emerging within the Central Bank and among members of the parliamentary finance committee to change the currency and launch a new series, instead of removing zeros, in a process aimed at withdrawing counterfeit, worn-out, and stolen currency, and returning part of the funds to the banking system, through a mechanism being discussed to link the exchange of large sums to opening accounts and proving the sources of funds.

The New Financial System Explained Simply
Miles Harris: 9-9-2026
The global financial system can often seem like an impenetrable maze of jargon, complex mathematical models, and abstract concepts. However, understanding the core driving forces of our economy is essential for navigating the changing economic landscape.
To demystify these complex dynamics, financial analysts frequently turn to elegant metaphors. One of the most effective analogies compares the relationship between collateral, credit, and the economy to a man walking his dog on a leash. This simple yet profound visualization sheds light on how our monetary system functions, where the vulnerabilities lie, and how the architecture of global finance is rapidly evolving.
