  This is a neat thread, haymaker.

  I think if I hit a jackpot and had to go to a press conference I'd create some outrageous explanation of how I picked the numbers, one that would hve everyone gettign their calculators out, or running out the next day to buy the XM291GX RNG available from the Sure Thing novelty company.

  Might even use some of the members names here in some kind of coded statement.

  A lottery omerta?

  

  Do we have a zip it emotie?

  Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners. 

  

  There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

  funny thing, i  had my idea's on this one,     

   

  like name my trust, mexican investments inc  trust, or whatever

  hire some decent stand in, who lips are sealed"acter"

  who is a mexican, ofc he be a husky guy wearing a  sombrero hat, giant sun glass's, and a fake santa bread. 

  and do the press conference acting as if he sole winner

  , where the lawyer telling media plz don't ask who the winner is, i let winner tell you hes story thro:

  stand in comes on stand, hitting key story telling points.

   saying he wish's to keep hes identy a serect for him self and, due to where  hes extended family lives in mexico where kidnaping is high rate. and he don't want to put their lifes at risk

  "media guilt to stay out of hes life" epic win!

  and give them a  classic hes a mexican who mom came to american for american dream. to support her boy/ family,  and how he promise's to take care of all hes relatives back home in mexico and buy hes mom  ever thing she dreams of'

   

  while me and my laywer 2 weeks later

  am in hes office having a meeting about investments, we  are  Laughing our butts off about how easy it is to trick everyone.
  

  
  

  ofc, i be moving into a new area where all the rich people live and hang out, , and no one wiser as am not a mexican.  and no one put new rich white guy+ lottery winner in same thinking at same time. 

  all part of cover to not only hide  who i am form public, but to trick them so they never have a Clue

  So i agree, don't trust lottery winner press conference,

  My press confrence will be.. oh wait, I don't have to have a press conference.

   

  Although, I do wonder if I can get them to just say "Lottery post".

  I was just recently thinking about this, as I'm finally playing Cash 5, which is a smaller amount yet easier to win. When you win, they must publish your name and town on the website, but I realized what I'll say is "The entire amount is going to pay some old medical bills." Which is not entirely a lie, but it will keep most people at bay knowing that the money is already gone.
