Other than not working there wouldn't be that much changing. I'm a simple guy. The main thing that would change is I'd buy a bunch of land in places I like to hunt.

Would you have the self control to not tell anyone if you won the lottery

Charles Barkley was asked for advice to give newly rich NBA players. His advice was simply “learn to say no.”
Oh, believe me, I do possess the "NO gene". If I should be so fortunate to ever win big on the lottery, I just dare people I've not seen or heard from in years to come knocking...................It won't be pretty.

Yep, and that should be illegal to out people who suddenly become wealthy winning a lottery. Puts a big target on their backs and leaves them open for all types of scams, con artists, mooching relatives they didn't even know they had, etc.
True, but keeping names private removes a lot of transparency and opens a state-run lottery up to all kinds of behind-the-scenes frickery. Especially in a state like Louisiana.
Maybe a comprise would be that you can only get names through a state FOIA request or something like that.

The headache of family and friends would be overbearing so I would do my best not to say anything.
try saying "no" to them. I will never understand why people can't simply refuse a request when asked. Especially for money by someone who likely is irresponsible inasmuch as they are bumming money given the implied scenario.

In fairness, someone who is playing the lotto most likely isn’t some paragon of financial stewardship compared to the person who is asking them to share their windfall.
Whether you say no or you say yes isn’t really relevant. Your relationship with your friends and family will never be the same, likely for the worse. So it’s best for everyone involved to keep it to yourself.
