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!
If you won the lottery, who would you tell?
