I guess after reading this I'll have to change my post lottery win plan. Besides getting a post office box I'll go to the police dept and hire a off duty cop with police car for a day or two to keep folks away. Granted when I collect I'll already be moved out. It's just I don't want people thinking they can follow me and in my opinion harass me.

I can understand him not wanting those people in front of his house begging for his money.if I win the lottery I don't want that either,because where were they when he was broke,and needed some money to pay bills now he wins afew dollars and they want to have there hands out.I don't think so.

sounds like a good idea.....although the colts haven't won another super bowl since leaving in 1983 while the baltimore ravens have already won since baltimore got another team.....

My plan should I ever become so lucky is: before I call my lawyer and financial planner I make a call to the phone company and cancel my land line. Then get one of those disposable cell phones with x amount of minutes. Then I contact the lawyer and planner get all the ducks lined up. once that is all done I slip silently out in the middle of the night as the colts did in Baltimore.--------------- I hope to leave barely a ripple

Crone should have accepted his winnings in the form of a trust fund. The lottery has to release the name of the trust fund (call it anything you want), but not who the beneficiary (winner) is. I bet Crone is driving up the coast with Joe Walsh in the background -- My maserati does 185... LOL

My man should have had a planned exit strategy for the potential of winning. For all those players who are watching, not having an exit strategy for getting out of town, you are asking for hell on earth at a time when you should be enjoying a BLESSING

I would not want a lot of media attention either!!! Folks all in your business, folks trying to tell you how to spend your money. It's like suddenly you are a celebrity, and you have these new friends who only want to be around you because you have money. Where where they when you were down on your luck? I don't blame him for leaving. I would have to change my phone number and go into hiding too

I would be more than happy dealing with that problem. Anyone who can't handle it can always sell me their ticket.

one more thing if you can't handle the winning attention don't buy any tickets

That's smart. Take a couple of weeks vacation or whatever and return in two weeks time and claim your money. Then perhaps some other winner will be on top of the news.

This is exaclty what is wrong with this society. Full of vultures. If I did win no one who asked me for money would get it. I would dictate who i would give it to.
