I wouldn't tell anyone, per se... But I wouldn't have to because it would get out anyway. There is no way I could live my life and it not be told to someone by someone.

I'd buy a beach house, mountain house, house in Louisiana for when I visit home, and probably a villa in Italy. So, there will be signs.

A million bucks?

People will shoot you or slit your throat for $5.

I would be Extremely quiet about it. Not only would extended family and scammers be beating your door down, but now you have things like Mexican and Ukrainian groups that seek out wealthy people, kidnap them, then torture them for account numbers and passwords before setting them on fire.

No, but my army of heavily armed Ninja bodyguards might tell you if you asked nicely.

yes. Id have a double life if travel too "for work".

My only concern is how/where do you deposit 200m without the fat teller knowingly eye fricking you. Keeping the people you'd have tell, bank people, financial advisor, etc etc, quiet would be my biggest concern.

You might want to be careful with that. Isn't that how ATF started investigating David Koresh when UPS kept delivering packages of guns to his compound near Waco.

Always keep your mouth shut. I've found the more you brag the lower your IQ.

The lottery will release the name of the winner after a certain period of time. The name of the largest lottery winner in history ($1.7 billion) was released a couple of weeks ago. It was the lottery drawing last Christmas

I would close my business. The endless stream of hookers would be a clue.

Yes.

I kept my lips zipped when I won $10K, $10,800 and other jackpots.
