I've just seen lotto winners on tele . Why would you go public with that amount of money ? The offer in the paper is not a good one - it contains oxalis . Must admit I have had some good ones in the past.
I don't think it would be possible to win that amount of money and keep it secret. Someone, a 'friend' would inevitably talk, and want to sell their story - what they knew about you - to the papers. So it's better for the information to come out in a controlled way, with all the resources of the lottery to smooth the transition.
See I could get away with 5 million but I think hiding 140 mill from family/friends would be very hard, I think it is a natural reaction to be cautious about your future, no one really wants to see someone going "I am going to take revenge on everyone who has ever slighted me"
Jean the last photo I saw of JK was not very flattering, good to hear that he is looking good on stage.
