I do not blame him

He is smart, I’d have done the same.

He is smart, I’d have done the same.

I would have just have the lotto people deposit the money in my account and skip the entire promotional process altogether......

But then think of what they used to do? They put you in a newspaper headline and then publish your name and address.....

Next thing you know, you are robbed at home. lol

I think someone was killed/kidnapped that way and then they stopped doing that.

I will hide it from my wife and children.

But I will tell my drinking friends.

The best plan ever.

Address?! wow that would have been a silly time to have won the lottery.

Still I would rather win the jackpot and have full name and address published than to not win the jackpot hahahahahaha.

Depends on how much you win........

I'd say it's an irrelevancy. The more you win, the more you don't mind (can escape the attention with resources won) the less you win the less others care. Overall though maybe the graph goes from don't care down to care and back up to don't care. The lowest point of prize won meaning highest care factor for me might be something like $5 million. More than that and it begins not mattering if published, less than that, people don't care that much.

A nice desirable property in good areas of Sydney or Melbourne or any good Chinese city is like $3 million lol so basically $5 million won or less is where people will think oh that's not much for a lottery jackpot win.

What if you won maybe 100G and the paper said you won the lotto and print your address, people reading that don't know you only win 100G and they thought you win maybe 1 mil or 10 mil or what. Are you okay to be kidnapped for 100G??

Doubt anyone would kidnap for $100K. If they misunderstood, I will make sure to let them know. $100K doesn't buy you the lifestyle of $100M or $10M.

Haha yes if the paper publish your address, immediately move.

Well, that's the point, they wouldn't say how much you win in the article, just your name and address and the fact that you win the jackpot. I mean, it can be more than one ticket that win the jackpot you know, it would be sucks if you have like 1 of the 10 ticket that win the jackpot and got kidnapped or killed that way...
