If you won the lotto would you let everyone know or keep it a secret?

"VOTE OR DIE!"

I'd let my friends and relatives know. It'd be pretty hard to explain otherwise if I suddenly roll up in a Ferrari. :lol:

I wouldn't scream it to everyone I know, but I would tell my closest friends.

Tell family and close friends.

I wouldn't tell no one about it because I'm greedy like that.

I would not tell a soul except for my mom and dad.

nobody would know, either, because I would save that money for the most part, and everything I want is not vain or flashy at all.

its not greedy.

there are dozens, maybe hundreds, of lottery horror stories when people go public.

Doesn't the lotto company release your name and amount won anyway?Im_single

I would tell my family but keep it a secret from everyone else and then wait and see if they catch on that i can afford to buy whatever easily with no job.

There would be very few people I would tell.

I'd even hide it from family. New found wealth sometimes turns people into monsters.

I'd tell my goldfish!

I would keep it a secret too much money quarrelling in my family for them to know.

im fairly sure when you call in to claim it you can ask to remain anonymous, at least in California you can.

Also, here is a new question: would you A.) take the large lump sum right away that isnt the entire prize, or B.) take smaller payments that eventually add up to more over 40 years?

I think he would use that as leverage. First, he'd ask for a gold-plated aquarium. Thena haram of exoitc dancing koi. When would it stop?

Secret. Screw everyone else, I'm moving far away from them in some wooded retreat. Ahhh...paradise
