Yep I'd go that route too if I ever won. I guess I gotta buy a ticket more than once every six months or so first. Now would be a good time to win it too being Christmas time. I think I'd go pay off everybody's layaway's at every Walmart and Kmart etc. in the entire town. HO HO HO.

that would sure be fun, wouldn't it? No notice...just walk into the store and do it.

I would too. But I wonder how that person will keep someone in their family from leaking it. Every one has at least one crazy aunt who has no mouth filter

Yeah you could really go crazy the next couple weeks just hand out money to strangers here and there, walk up and pay for an entire restraunts check, hand a cashier a couple hundred bucks for somebodys cart full of groceries, hand everybody pumping gas a hundred bucks at the quick trip and say this tanks on me then just slink away on and on. Then after check your bank account and see barely a dent. Wouldn't that be nice. LOL

Why wouldn't you want to be anonymous. I never understood why people who have won go on the news to say what they will do with the money. Why would you want the world to know who you are. Oh well, just my opinion

I just read the cnn article that said their anonymity will not last for long because the lottery commission is obligated to give the winner's name to the press if they request it due to the Freedom Of Information Act (which they will on Monday).

Sucks, I know. I would want to remain anonymous to prevent everybody hitting me up for a "loan" or "business investment".

I'd stay anonymous, also.

Too many people get screwed over with the windfall.
