I won't tell anybody I won the lottery but there will be signs
The California Lottery announced Tuesday that a Mega Millions player only realized he bought a winning ticket when he got a text from his coworker asking if he wasn’t at work due to winning the lottery.
The absolute last thing I'd want after winning the lottery would be media attention. In Canada they're required to publish the names of big winners and when you get into the 7 figure range, the media tends to show up. I'd go in there dressed like the unabomber and I would have not have a single word to say. I'd also be changing my phone number and disappearing in preparation of hiding from the onslaught of strangers and former friends who think I owe them something.
In all seriousness, when you get a certain amount of money, it gets the attention of some BAD people.
My plan is to go and accept the check dressed as The Stig. I'd take the license plates off of my motorcycle and there is no way in hell the press would catch up to me.

As soon as he discovered that his winnings made him a millionaire, he became an anti-tax Republican.

Shit, the people I'd be hiding from would be my own blood family. They'd all be kicking in my door with problems of their own making.
DeleteThis. Otherwise, you meet all the friends and relatives you never knew you had.
