If you were to win "The Largest Jackpot Ever," say $1 billion, there would be incredible publicity. As we all know,

everytime the jackpot approaches the record, the media will remind everyone that, "your name, winner of the largest

jackpot ever"... blah, blah, blah, and you're back in the spot light. How do you handle it? Being anonymous is not an option.

You don't have to do a thing at all. Socialite Kim Kardashian or someone else will take the heat off of you even before a week is over. The papparazzi have no time for boring monied people.

I say go on and get it over with...I mean national news will cover it for maybe a week but your local news will have everything they can find out about you in the news for awhile...Don't get mad, don't curse reporters or photograpers, just answer their questions that are to your comfort, the best that you can, and unless you make a spectical of yourself they'll fade you away themselves....because in the news nowadays, if it's not some trfiling drawn out drama story...it's not news

The media would talk about my win & then they'd mention something about me being harder to find than Jimmy Hoffa.

Had it not been for big-mouth-I-want-my-15-minutes-of fame-Mindy, even Gloria, largest single winner in history wouldn't have been in the news for as long as she was and it still wasn't that long. National news would get bored soon enough. Move out of the county or state and the local news won't have much to report either.

KimK will get married or knocked up again, Amanda Bynes will call someone else ugly, Trump will start a pointless Twitter war with yet another celebrity and LiLo will have another DUI accident. In a couple months no one will remember the lottery winner. JP winners stay in the news only when they make news.

The only ones we hear about for long after are the ones who get sued, get robbed, give countless interviews (Cynthia Stafford) or who go broke. That's it.
