Very true. But if you won enough dough get a body guard. See, maybe you don't tell anybody, but there could be a crook working for the lottery commission that could do you in.
As for me? I will check into a high class hotel the night I win and live there until I cash my ticket in. You know where to find me. No, I will NOT tell anyone other than my sister, who will also be in the hotel suite with me. As for my brother? No, I would not tell him, he can't be trusted, he can out talk a radio.
Once I get my hands on the dough via a lawyer and whatnots, I'll fly out to California to visit my friends and look around for a small house, revisit some of the places I like and then fly over to Hawaii for a vacation. ahh! I need one bad!
Then there comes reality, once I get back to my home state, what to do? Pack up, drop some money on my sister so she can retire if she would want to and buy a house. Then get going on a world wide trip to all the places I would want to visit before its too late. If they can find me they would be spending a lot of money and time! LOL!
Telling people I won that are not within my circle now wouldn't be wise, especially in this economy.
Without dreams there would not be reality.
