I haven't had to deal with finding out who my true friends are yet, but thanks to being a pretty private person I only keep a few friends so the friends I have are all close (have quite a few casual acquaintances ). Of the 5 or so real friends, I would only tell one of them if I had won it big. He has been my closest friend for years plus we live in different cities now, don't share groups of friends and most of the people he hangs out with are well off so even if he did tell them they wouldn't...

Oh, I know a great finger game. We played it in North Jersey as kids.....

Look at your hand, either one, doesn't matter. Now going from thumb to pinky, wave each finger as you say, Pauper, pauper, king, pauper, pauper. Then, keeping in mnd which fingers were paupers and which was the king, all the paupers bow down to the king and the king jumps for joy!

This is also known in some circles as the New Jersey salute

Actually, I'm a Philanthropist at heart .... so if, or rather WHEN, I win a huge jackpot, (after taking care of close family, friends and myself), I would start a Foundation in my Mother's and my Dad's names - and I would just love to let all the poor and needy come and get it to help them out with their financial needs. I would put the word out to people in need to COME AND GET IT! Nothing else would satisfy me more, because I know that I can't take it with me, it doesn't make any sense to hoar... [ More ]

Nope, not even my closest friend, who happens to be my lovely wife. Oh I'd tell her, but only after I'd gotten everything situated like I want it from an asset protection standpoint. I'm not worried about her trying to divorce me and take all the money, but I do worry that she couldn't keep her mouth shut, and people who would do us harm if they could would find out.

my whole entire life I have made a lot friends but once my life is at the very bottom only 2 or 3 are true friends I consider. This day in age, it is really hard to find true friends who would stick to you no matter what situation you're in. Even worse, finding the right girl or wife is harder now a day in this society.

I wandered alone to my home in the mountains

Where in youth's early dawn I was happy and free

I looked for my friends but I never could find them

I found they were all rank strangers to me

Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger

No mother or dad not a friend could I see

They knew not my name and I knew not their faces

I found they were all rank strangers to me.

Now they've all moved away said the voice of a stranger

To a beautiful home by a bright crystal se... [ More ]

even you can't trust your relative now a day. When it comes to money, it can change people personality and etc.

No. Everybody knows 20 people and despite people's best inttentions about not saying anything telling anyone you won could be the worst mistake you'll ever make.

(This is assuming of course you stayed anonymous).

Would you let your close friend know

once you win the jackpot??? In my case NO. True friend are hard to find these days even the old one leave you once your life is boring.
