If you win the jackpot, do you go to tv and news?Previous TopicNext Topic

I read a lot of histories about people who won the jackpot and small prizes and their life become a nightmare.  some lost their best friends and others lost the money, the family and the friends too.  money is good, but only when you use it wisely.    I'm not gonna say what I'll do in case I win because I don't want to influence your vote.

"If you win the jackpot, do you go to tv and news?"

If I won a jackpot I would be the news, there would be no need to go to them, they would be looking for ME.

How come just a simple 'yes' isn't a choice?

As the lottery folks will tell you, it's best to go in front of the cameras and get it over with, they WILL find you out.

The only way they might not is if you live in one of the three states that allow you to collect anonymously.

But you have to realize: people WILL find out, no matter what you do, and the proof is in - how many people tell YOU something in 'secret' that you turn around and repeat to someone else?  If you say you've never done that, you are lying.

If given the choice, I would avoid going on tv. I would tell my family, because they would find out anyways.

All you have to do is form a Trust administered by an attorney. Have the trust registered to your attorney, and have him assign the beneficial interest over to you.  So if anyone does research, they will see the trust registered to that attorney, but not be aware who realy owns it.

Of course, it's part of the fun.

they will have me on tv sipping on something at a vacation spot.dont know what yet.

I have to agree. I would go on tv if I won the jackpot.

I'd rather avoid the spotlight. If I had to go on tv, I would probably wear sun glasses and a baseball cap, to make it harder to tell who I am. I don't want to make it easier for people to spot me on the street or anything.

That is why you move to a different city after you win.

I don't think so.   Lottery winners, even big lottery winners, are fairly common now, and they just don't make news like they used to...if they don't want to do so.

I'd keep my mouth shut. 

There seems to be no good reason to announce anything at all.

A woman here in Ky got her money business taken care of then went to lottery hdq and let everyone see her..She said I'll see you when I get back..I don't know if she ever came back..Haven't heard anything about her..Good for her..

There's no good reason to go public other than to satisfy your ego. I'm sure everyone who has gone public has regretted it later on.
