what i often wondered is : why did they HAVE to go on tv? do they HAVE to? if i won id rather it be in secret. and just quietly put money in different family members accounts ( sya its a blessing) and live a somewhat normal life.

i feel the moment it becomes public. everybody and they mama starts beating down your door. then its a problem

I'm not sure if it's required that you go on TV,but I do know that it is somehow made public knowledge of all who wins. I always said that I would'nt want anyone to know if I won either,but I guess if people want to find out they can.

That would be the big issue for me,everyone knowing.

I don't need any long lost relatives coming to visit.

i can't understand people going public. imagine all the begging letters.

No.

But then again, the lottery isn't my thing. It's odd that such things still exist though, because it seems like something like that couldn't have been invented today.

fuck no

I have a lot of family members I hardly speak to who'd be showing up at my door, palms out.

well..it might ruin it,
but that's a risk i'm willin to take..
i know with most of my family i would need to go into hiding tho...

I've heard people make the comment that they would still work if they won the lottery. I want to look at them and say, "Are you freakin serious? If you won the lottery, and became a millionaire, why would you even want to work?" Shoot, if I won the lottery, the first thing I would do is quit my job. Don't call me, I'll call you. But don't sit by the phone waiting for me to call, because you'll have one heck of a long wait!
