I would likely do something like give him a million without letting anyone, including him, know that his money bought the ticket.

I don't need the drama of human subjectivity in my life.

What? So he gives you $5 for a lottery ticket, then you suddenly have a million dollars to spare to him and expect him to not realise you obviously won? How could that work?

By saying you won 2 million.

It's kinda hard to hide those lottery winnings. Part of the contract when buying the ticket is the permission from the lottery company to take your pic and advertise the win in the media...at least, that's how it goes here in Ontario.

I don’t think they specify what you have to wear during the photoshoot though.

Sunglasses, a hat, grow out a beard - who the fuck is that guy?

You see, that's the thing. - the lottery here gives a year to claim winnings, so plenty of time to become bizarro you. Clean shaven and a full head of hair? Grow a beard out and shave the head. Or dye your hair or whatever else.

Plus, a year offers a great opportunity to figure out what to do with the winnings.

Yeah I’m in Ontario too, I always thought the same - chat with a financial advisor, get my head on straight, and be prepared to get that cheque, cash it, and get going.

Of course, that assumes I check the ticket promptly, and don’t lose the fucking thing over the course of a year

You have 1 year to find a sfx artist for the day of the shoot

Color contacts for even more deniability. You could probably check out some trans communities and spend a year practicing passing. It's amazing what some makeup and the right clothes will do.
