"I'd rather be rich and unknown."
I actually don't know who that is? Is that the guy who bought the ticket in Maryland everyone's freaking out about?

I personaly would not tell a living soul I won. Not even my wife. I would hire a lawyer and a financial advisor.I would then open several accounts in my childrens names and my family, including the extended.
I would then buy a private island of the coast of Hawaii, call then once I arrived, give then each there personal pin and let the shit storm hit with me safely thousands of miles away!

I'd keep it to myself if it was an option. I don't like to be in the spotlight.

it's really messed up of reporters to keep tracking him down, especially going to such ridiculous lengths to do it.

and yeah, i'd want to remain anonymous.

I wonder what happened to him. I wouldn't tell anyone, even at the place I was checking the result.

I wouldn't tell anyone, nope! And I would flip out if I got found out.

I'd be pissed as hell if I won and news crews stalked me down. I would not tell the public. after winning that much money, it is extremely dangerous to have your face plastered all over the tv.

I wouldn't let it be known at all. I wouldn't want all those people crawling up out of the woodwork trying to hound me for whatever. I don't like that sort of attention. I'm a big worrier and that would not be good for me. And then having newspeople trying to track me down? That's super creepy.

For one I never play but if I somehow won I would not want to be known. I really hate when people stalk people.

The public would only know there was a winner...I would avoid all the attention if possible.

I would prefer to remain anonymous, but in the state where we live the winners name is made public. Guess it doesn't matter, since I have heard the odds of having 6 fingers on each hand is higher than winning the lottery. Now, just imagine what you could do with six fingers!
