It's called the 'Oprah effect'- books and persons on her show have been launched!!!


'Oprah Effect' on some money talk show.

But what makes you think that Oprah won't just use this half-sister phenomena for the hype factor, and then throw her under the bus once it's run it's course?

Plus people would want to get to know me, thinking that they might get access to Oprah that way.

I dunno. That would get old real quick. A thousand rabid Oprah fans showing up on your doorstep on a daily basis. Where do I sign up?

Then I can write a book about "My sister Oprah" and make oodles of money just like Madonna's brother did with his book.

Uh... but he had a to write a book, and he still made way less than you would from the powerball win in the first place. Do you realize how little effort is required in winning powerball? A minute or so out of your day to buy the ticket. 30 seconds to check the numbers online the next day. A week or so for it to really sink in. A couple months of busting your butt getting a system in place to live off the cash. From that point on you'd be able to do pretty much whatever the hell you wanted. No fame. No paparazzi. No BS. Well maybe a little as cousins and stuff start hitting you up for money, but I figure as long as you tell them all to fuck off in no uncertain terms, word will spread through the family and you're probably done with that BS pretty quick.

I think some states even allow you to claim the money anonymously if you set up a trust and whatnot. It's one of the things you look into during the couple month period of figuring out how to live off the money.

Powerball, not that I needed Dark's post to convince me.
