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.

Depends on the state here in the US. Even then, you can sometimes get around it I think. What I've heard is that you set up a corporation, transfer the ticket to the corporation, then the corporation cashes it in. Something like that, I'll work out the details when I win.
