One thing I've considered in the past is that it would be fun to play the previous draw's winning numbers. First of all, having just won the lottery, I would think most people wouldn't bother to play the next week, so you clear out anyone regularly playing those numbers. Also most people intuitively think it's nearly impossible for the same numbers to be drawn twice in a row. (Which of course it is, but no more nearly impossible than any other set.) So maybe you wouldn't have to share. And if you won, you'd be an instant celebrity. However, 1) I really wouldn't want that kind of attention, and 2) I bet other people have the same idea, so it'd probably totally backfire.
