  lets say you win Powerball you havent gone and cash the ticket yet but you call to lottery office to let them know...i dont know about cell phones but you do know that there are people who listen to the state/countrys phone calls and they are not the government [who knows cell phones too]...why??? because is like computer hacking, if they listen to phone calls they can know a lot about people and about people's secrets...when you call the state lottery and tell them you have the winning ticket, is like sending cash, in this case lots of cash through the mail, someone might take it, in this case, someone might be listening...this is not new news is old news [it happens all over the world]....also you can remain very anonymous and still people can find out that you are a lottery winner by the stuffs you purchase online...like if you purchase things online your family couldnt afford before or is out of the family income before you all won the lottery...

  The Forex trades: 1.6 Trillion dollars EVERY day, that´s more than the GDP of the Carribbean Central America, COMBINED. Enough to feed every crook out there for centuries...To all Geniuses & Powers Countries of the World the Planet needs breakthroughs in all Medicine, Veterinary, Biology related fields, Psychology, Population Psychology/Sociology..They need to genetically ingeneer new plants species/types to give more variety of plants and thus have more resources for combating diseases¨

  I am sure they get a lot of calls and a lot are really hypothetical calls or pranks.  If you win and need to call the lottery office for something, simply say you won more than $600 or had a small win and had a question.  Why disclose more? It's not like they are going to call you back and say "so when are you coming to cash in your ticket?"

  "someone might take it, in this case, someone might be listening..."

  That one word "might" is the key....and just because someone "might" be listening does not mean that they are or they will. And just because someone "might" be listening, I'm not going to run to CNN and give them my name, address, phone, and bank account #'s and announce I have the winning ticket. I'm still going to take care to protect my identity and my anonymity regardless of what someone else 'might' try to do.

  Give someone a fish and feed them for a day. Teach them to use the internet and they won't bother you for weeks.
