I was just wondering, because the MEga-Millions winner did not come forward yet.

I would want to remain anonymous...I don't want to be on the evening news holding one of those Super Huge checks with a cheesy smile on my face.

I would just like my money, privately. No pictures, stories, or appearances on the news.

I don't think being anonymous is an option, the press would be all over you, but I'd definitely choose that if I played the lottery :thumbs:

I'd prefer remaining anonymous; however, since that's probably not a likely choice (as Nessa said, the media would cover the story), then I probably wouldn't mind too much. I wouldn't want to be the sole focus of attention for too long, but if I was mentioned in a short blurb, it wouldn't bother me.

If the lotteries here are anything like the ones at home, if you want the prize you can't remain anonymous, part of the deal is press coverage.

With that being said, I'd sure as heck would wish it to keep it quiet!

Grab the check, smile for the camera, and run.

My strategy as well.

Retire young and live off the interest after buying a home in major cities all over the world.

Remain anonymous. However, with this country's addiction to living vicariously through the lives of others via the media, there's no way that would happen.

I'd definitely go public. I'd make the big announcement right here on VJ, as I'm calling the travel agent to arrange my monthly 21 day trips to the Philippines until the Visa process is completed.

If it's going to be, it's up to me!

Winning a multi-million dollar lottery is not what I'd call a "problem" :P

But if you think it is, and if you ever do, then give me a call. I'll be more than happy to manage your problem for you.
