  Unless you won in a state that allows anonymity everyone would know that you won $475 million dollars. Yeah trust yeah lawyers okay fine, still people would pretty much figure it out I’m sure. But my answer would only involve one person; my ex. Lol

  Sometimes you do the right thing just because it’s right.

  Life's a game of mathematics, if you can't figure that out I don't know what to tell you.

  I was in Florida this spring and I bought an extended play powerball ticket.  After I was home I discovered it was a winning ticket.  I mailed it back to Florida and I received a check from them on Saturday.  It is a beautiful check pink with a flamingo on it.  I haven't told anyone of my lottery win.  I am thinking of just framing my $4.00 check since its so pretty.

  Brilliant- you could start a thread on that alone. " Have you ever framed a winning lottery ticket?" As l said, brilliant, nothing short of spectacular. You go girl!

  Why thank you very much!!  I have a scratch off of the Mona Lisa it must now be about 20 years old.  I never scratched it because it was just too cool.  I have often wondered if it was a big winner but I will never know.  I think I might just frame both of them!  Thanks for the idea.

  You don’t need to tell them, they know or will find out soon enough LIGB. I mean even astronauts who spend a year in space, have to fill out some sort of paperwork when they return to earth. The IRS tentacles are far reaching.

  Can't you take a pic of it and deposit it via your bank app? You can keep the original check that way.

  I have a collection of over one hundred $1 and a few 25 and 50 cent casino chips that I picked up myself or were given to me as souvenirs. Some of the chips are from casinos that no longer exist making selling them difficult at best.

  They're sort of different than your check because there are probably ways you can still cash and keep the check if you need four bucks. Unlike my chips where I'd have to physically sell them or cash them at the casinos that still exist. Selling them would cost lots more than the value of the chips, so I'll probably just keep them.

  Hopefully next time you win enough to get one of those giant checks as a souvenir!
