Remember.....that part of the game doesn't start until after you cash in the ticket! You have 180 days to prepare for the disappearance!

There are thousands of very wealthy people that walk around big cities like NYC or Palm Beach with zero security. If you stay smart, not flashy, don't tell anyone your source of wealth you will be fine.

Winners can remain anonymous in my state, but unfortunately even if you just tell one person, others might find out. They might also become suspicious when you quit your job and leave town like I plan to do.

Oooh yeah, baby! If I win, I'm going to go right down to that Toyota dealership and get me one those brand new Corollas! And I'm not talking about the 2015 leftovers! I'm gonna get a spanking new, fresh out of the factory 2016 model!

Can you buy me a Lamborghini, pay off my tuition, buy me a Brownstone, and give me about 2 million in the bank to live off of out of the kindness in your heart? I'll love you forever.

I'm going to take a big dump on this thread and spoil it for all of you guys:

The lottery is a scam.

I know a few employees. They all tell me anytime you see a big winner (anything more than $100k) televised it's nothing more than a staged advertisement. They have data on where in the country the most lottery players reside, where there is potential for more sales, and where sales will always slump. Every time a big winner is announced subsequent sales go up in that "winners" area so they increase profits where a town's spending potential can be upped. Places where lottery spending is consistent will always stay that way regardless if someone from that area ever "wins" or not. The data tells them this.

Think i'm full of it? There's much more deceptive things being staged on your news channel than some stupid lottery money grab.
