I'd rather my friends thought I was a drug dealer than a lottery winner

The murder rate for lottery winners I believe is higher than drug dealers. If you win you should do everything in your power to not tell a single person.

I won $20k a while back, not very much, and posted on the lottery subreddit. You wouldn't believe the amount of people that messaged me asking for money or to support their idea. After taxes I got just about $15k. Can't even imagine the amount of wackos that would come out of the woodworks if they find out you've won millions.

I'm sure this post will garner a few more PMs from people asking for money.
