If you won the lottery, who would you tell?

I'm pretty sure if I won the lotto I wouldn't trust anyone knowing. But hey, that's just me. What would you guys do?

Just my immediate family (i.e. mum/dad/sisters/brothers) 36

  • No one. But when people started asking me how I got the new mansion I'd tell them I was a CIA informant or a pimp from Oakland.

    Well, I am pretty sure that winning the lottery is just a myth. If I did win it though, I would have to tell my penis first.

    No one I would want to keep it to myself for security reasons and so people arent hitting me up for money.

    It would be a miracle if I won it - coz I don't do it :o) I don't want a large amount of money that would bring the same amount of new 'friends'.

    If someone gave me a ticket that I bothered to check, I'd tell you lot on IIN coz you don't know me.

  • My spouse. Then we'd decide together who to tell.

    I wouldn't go round telling people. Then again I would never enter the lottery so can't really say.

    I live in a very rural area, very small-town place, so I'm sure it would be all over the news. I've seen it happen-the store where the ticket was sold at notifies the news and the papers that they had a winner, so now everyone within a few county radius knows someone won. Then the reporters just go to the Lotto commission and request the name of the winner and publish it. So...really, everyone who lives anywhere remotely near me that knows me would know.

    If it was up to me, I'd not tell ANYONE, but the Lotto commission is required by law to list the winners, so what can you do?

    There's people who regualrly get the list of winners and either beg for money or sue them, hoping for a payout from someone they've never even met. It must be a literal nightmare when you win in some ways!

  • My immediate family and maybe like 2 or 3 friends. I get the feeling everyone would guess though sooner or later as my face wouldn't be able to hide my excitement...

  • i would pay off my family's house and get a brand new scooter and go jumping and get some whores/sluts this is what i would do and share the money with only my family members that really do need it then they can't throw shit in my face anymore but this will never happen and i wouldn't want it being in the news paper that i won money one way to get robed is that way.

    Either everyone or no-one. I might literally shove it in a bank and not tell anybody at all. Or, just donate the entire thing, and never tell a soul. That would be kind of fun, having such a huge secret.

    It would be a hard secret to keep but I wouldn't want people to know.
