Neither do I, although what Coin Toss wrote is true. Most people want to be left in peace and stay anonymous if possible, but that doesn't apply to all winners. I hope I wasn't misunderstood.

Hang around here for awhile and you'll find out that probably at least 80% of us want absolutely nothing to do with 'the 15 minutes of fame' a jackpot brings.

I agree that he enjoys the spotlight. Maybe he likes getting his ego stroked over and over. This man didn't find a cure for a disease or run into a burning building. He won money because he was very, very lucky. Even if he did use a system as he claims, he's gone way past the braggart stage IMHO. No, this isn't jealousy at all. I've just seen his face too many times. There are a lot of people who buy real estate, invest in the stock market, turn businesses into major chains, etc., who don... [ More ]
