The person who won lives/ lived (if he is smart in my little town in Maine). Why he went public is stupid.

I'd disappear. My attorney can contact me at my villa in Greece.
I believe you have to let the lottery use your likeness to get the prize.
But I'd sure move. 100,000 acre ranch somewhere. Then learn to fly.

You can have a trust fund, then nobody knows who the winner is.
Just knew you were gonna say you won the lottery and tell us goodbye
I talked to my son, I knew he didn't win because he didn't say Who are you?

(Women & Children cannot keep their mouths shut. Its just the way it is.)
"The lawsuit says that the woman, named as "Sara Smith," signed an NDA saying she must keep the jackpot a secret until June 1, 2032, when their daughter comes of age.
"If the mother did — by accident or deliberately — spill the beans before that point, she'd have to tell him within 24 hours, the NDA said.
But, according to the lawsuit, the woman then told his family anyway. It says she got on the phone and told his father and stepmother — which soon led to several other people, including his sister, finding out.
The plaintiff is now asking her to reveal exactly who else she's told — with a penalty of at least $100,000 for each time she broke the NDA."

Interesting point. I have 3 boys 14yo and under. It might be a good idea for them to not know. I wouldn't want them to just become spoiled rich kids and not care about having a career. Though I do buy lottery tickets, I doubt I will have to deal with this. Crossing figures for tomorrow's drawing though...
I had stopped buying tickets for many years. I am a gambler though. One of my previous clients won $12 million and I've been buying tickets since.

I worked with a guy that won $2M on a scratcher ticket.
He chose the 20 annual payment option and receives a tax free check for $60,000.01 every year.
The guy doesn’t drive, doesn’t drink, doesn’t own a home.
He also didn’t want his family to know because he has relatives in Guatemala, and he was afraid for their safety there if the local criminals learned that he had won.
Money does weird shit to people; free money does even weirder shit.

I fully expect to be alone when I say this..but fuck the lottery and fuck having that much money. I'm not interested and never have been..could care less..ill let you guys deal with all the bs that comes with money and I'll continue to be broke and mostly happy
I’m happy and my wife and kids are happy and we’re not rich and I’ve never bought a lottery ticket.
Yes, you're alone haha. I have what I need, but not everything I want. I have thought about what it would be like to all of a sudden have enough money to retire. Would I get bored?
I'm a Poker player and that might be ruined if I had more money than I knew what to do with. No real motivation to play well. If I can walk away with a few hundred profit, I'm happy.
I don't buy tickets, but my mother benefitted from the PA lottery. It reduced the cost of her medications.

Back when my son was about 6, he said, "Dad, what's the best way to get rich?".
I told him "quickly", and I think that still applies.

Reminds me of this;
How does a motorcycle dealer become a millionaire?
Start with 2 million.
I‘m pretty much like you except the Poker part. I don’t think I’d do well just being rich and retiring. I think I’d always want to stay busy and be accomplishing something more than just building my Jeep or garage or things like that. I think I’d still need to work to be satisfied. I think that’s part of the feedback mechanism in our brains related to our hypothalamus. It gives us that good feeling when we accomplish something significant. I’d probably be ruined if I had more money than I knew what to do with. But there are things I’d like to have (2 Jetski’s, Hot Tub, bigger house and garage to work in
), but I’m happy.
I knew someone that won "win for life" not once, but twice ( he spends most of his money on tickets) so that would have been 2 x $1000/week for life. This moron, both times cashed out with one of those "JD Wentworth" type company's and blew the payouts in less than a year.
I rarely buy tickets but every now and then will spend $5-10 when it gets real high. My wife and I joke about what we would do but like @suicideking said, I doubt I'll ever have to deal with it. I can't imagine life with more money than I can fathom. I mean you could live very comfortably off of the interest alone.
I always think that the time to buy is when it’s not very high. That way I have a better odds of winning. Still a lot of money.
