I think people are underestimating the paranoia that will ensue.

Thats not to say "I don't want to win," that's retarded. But it would abs be scary.

I think you are required to do media interviews. Recently there was an issue with the New York State lottery where a guy from the hood wanted to keep identity private He said all the thugs would be after him or his family.

I would be more worried about my own stupidity of putting my pants with the ticket in the washing machine over somebody somehow seeing it in my eyes that I am now a billionaire and killing me for the ticket.

You could always turn it in first thing in the AM if you're that worried. You wouldn't get any sleep the night before but fear would have nothing to do with it.

turning it in immediately would be stupid. You need to plan. The time between all the planning and when you finally turn it in is going to be mentally draining. Always looking over your shoulder wondering if people know, where the ticket is etc

Yeah, the scary part would be after your name is released to the public. What do you do? Legally change your name before you pick it up?

Plenty of people turn it in immediately and (as far as we know) seem to be fine and unmurdered.

Sure, waiting and "planning" would be better and it's what I would do but if you were honestly shitting kittens about being kidnapped and killed before you turn in your ticket, just get it over with and go right from the lottery office to the airport to hide out in some random city.

Yeah, the FDIC doesn't insure a billion dollars in your checking account but you can safely play the odds that Chase or Capital One won't go under for the week or two that the money sits in there if you take the "get money first, plan second" option.

Once that ticket is in the hands of the lottery office, they can look at me however they want.

I hope your prospective gang of thieves have an atomic warhead to threaten the citizens with.

sounds like a movie plot starring mark wahlburg, Samuel l. Jackson and the rock

I wouldn’t tell a soul. Plus I bought my ticket out of state anyways.

I’d put the ticket in a portable safe and go to claim. And wouldn’t stop till I got there

In most states, can't you claim anonymously?

It's the other way around. In most states you can't. In a few you can.
