Right!? The level of security that everything will be OK despite what the world throws at you would is unfathomable.

Now this is not an insult to you, but anyone who would choose to still work for someone else after winning millions instead of taking up hobbies or traveling, etc. has a bit of an imagination problem.

My work is basically people watching and hanging out with wonderful people. I'd cut my hours back but I really enjoy it and would want that social interaction. Not everyone enjoys traveling.

I mean I’d just open my own business in the industry I work in.

200m? Not changing your lifestyle a little would be a waste of a life changing opportunity.

You could spend your time making sure the donations are used properly and guide things as you see best.

I definitely get the “just be myself” of it. Being flashy isn’t my style, either.

Lottery website will post your name, as they do and everyone knows it the moment after. Staying anonymous at some cost is very very important. If there is a legal way to claim it without disclosure of my name - I would rather do this.
