Do you feel if you were to win the lottery that it would be impossible for you to keep it a secret from some people you didn't want to know?

[Extraterrestrial1999]

Yeah, some would know something is up

Nah, savvy and disciplined enough that it could be kept quiet

Winfall of money is ultimately a tool at your disposal. Maybe you're exceptional smart and invest into the stock market. Maybe you break a leg and need help from a loved one. Please help me and don't worry about your bill I've got it.

I've inherited half a million and in reality putting all that away in a perfect retirement plan is good enough but I can't touch it for 25 years. I also want to live today and I want to be for the people who has and will be looking out for me.

That is the most dangerous thing for myself is being alone and stranded. I'm being smart with my investments and give myself an allowance to help. I do need to make an effort to be there for people around me.

Keep in mind for 20s to even upto 40s a winfall of $1,000,000 is nothing less of dog shit amount to retire on. Hence investing with a fiduciary is important.

Absolutely, most lottery commissions make it a condition of collecting your winnings that they can use your likeness for press releases and future promotions.
In other words, you can’t take the money unless EVERYONE gets to know.

I wouldn't tell anyone, not even my parents. However, it wouldn't matter because I don't give away money to people that I know want it.

[4ngelic]

No, I definitely trust I'd keep that a secret. I wouldn't be burning to scream it on all the rooftops

[NathanDavis]

if I wanted to keep it secret, it would be quite easy... as I would just put in the bank

[msc545]

I am not an idiot and I would not tell anyone ever.

[strateguy632]

i can hide it.

[MrChinaski]

I would not keep that a secret.

[exitseven]

Nobody would know. Maybe not even the IRS.

[Anonymous]

It would be because I would give lots away

[fishbone77]

Nah, i'd keep it close to the chest.
