I don't get why all the lottery winners announce that they won the lottery. I wouldn't want anyone to know, let alone the whole world

I've seen in some asian countries the winners go around with bags on their heads when they announce that they won. I think the announcement process is required since it more than likely encourages people to keep playing.

I have to go with this, I wouldn't want anything said, or my name used. Just take the payout, quietly set up trusts and such, and enjoy life.

I think my own big "tip off' would be the kinds of cars I would have. Buy a big garage someplace, and build a stable like Leno has, only newer stuff. One of every Subaru WRX/STI/Forester(and xt) including the early RS made between 1996-current, DB5, DB9S, GTR(new), 3-4 dodge ram diesels...yea I would drop 2mil just on cars alone
