Widow and daughter will split estate of poisoned $1 million lotto winnerReply
That doesn't sound right, I think you may have been misinformed. I've only had limited experience with our own lottery customer service here in CA, but when I did I was not impressed. Sounded like I was calling into the DMV in Da Hood or something. Yappy and rude, and email inquiries take forever or are just ignored. I wouldn't take any answer I get from the front lines at face value. But anyway, I assume she meant to say you had to form the trust before claiming or signing the ticket. Tha

lf you won the Big One:Would you have the stones to tell the rest of us so- Y/N?Reply
I'd honestly think about it. It almost feels like I have the responsibility to share the hope if I were to win say 15million+ hard cash (no annuity/tax BS). BUT I'd have to make absolute certain of my anonymity first. Maybe change my name before claiming then change it back afterwards, move, then wait a few months after the excitement dies down, then I might try to reveal myself here. The hard part is proving that I did win some lottery without giving too much evidence into which
