Imagine the sphincter-clenching moment when you realize you've got that ticket. How much do you trust your neighbors now?

- zouhair 4y agoDon't tell anyone ever, until you set everything up. Also move as soon as possible.

Like even if you said “I am giving it all away,” either a) people don’t believe you and want some money and think you are a bad person if you don’t give it up and you are publicly shamed or b) you obsessively document where the money is going and people don’t agree with how you have it away and you are publicly shamed.

- ISL 4y agoUntil your neighbors know, you can trust them just as much. A winning lottery ticket is an optional life-changing object. A few seconds with a lit match, and life goes on unchanged. (incidentally, before taxes, I guess that winning lottery ticket is worth ~12,000,000x its weight in gold)
