Who really winsReply
The lottery is a game of chance. the odds are against you but someone wins and that chance could just as well be you.

In fact, most lottery commisions also advertise seeking help through a gamblers anonymous program for those who let the playing get out of hand. I like reading, bowling, playing lottery. its my hobby by choice!

Should lottery winners share with colleagues?Reply
i agree, i've experience the loss of both parents and i'd love to have had the chance to make their lives better for all they've done for me.

For my safety and everyone i love I would want to remain anonymous.

A Lottery CurseReply

Sucessfully staying quiet?Reply
There are some Jackpot winners that want to be known they want the attention and the notoriety.....unfortunately it will be very hard stay anonymous because like someone stated someone in your family will know and tell their friends.........my hubby comes from a large family he said he was going to tell his family that he got a settlement whether they believe it or not that's on them but that's our story and we are sticking to it...LOL.....

What do would you do if you won the lottery?
I would be so scared of publicity if i won a big Jackpot. I believe it would be a double edge sword. Is there any way of someone winning a big jackpot and remaining anonymous?

Jackpot winner dangers!Reply
if you don't mind your name all over the newspapers, go for it. If you care about remaining anonymous and having some chance at a normal life, you might want to talk to a lawyer before doing anything. Depending on which state you live in, the name you print on the back of the ticket is the name that's released to the media.
