I know it's a stand up joke from some comedian I can't remember but the best "If I Won The Lottery" idea was buying expensive cakes for lovely people on their birthday, and give them no actual material gift. "Hey Happy Birthday! I got you a $1,000,000 cake!"

Hire some people, start making games. Also sponsor creative people making stuff.

Like I'd go find people making games -- good ideas, they've laid some groundwork -- then talk to them, find them people to fill in where they're lacking (artists, musicians, programmers, whatever) and pay them a fair wage to work with the person's small project. Then make connections with streamers -- not big ones, maybe a bunch of smaller ones -- to stream said completed game. That way a bunch of people land gigs, a tiny game gets made bigger and better than it would have otherwise, and streamers get some extra revenue promoting it. Everyone benefits.

I have no idea how many times or how long I'd be able to do it.

real talk tho if you win the lottery you should tell absolutely no one. The only words to come out of your mouth should be to an army of lawyers and financial advisors. Once your estate is in order and you have sufficient legal counsel you can start making decisions on the money and telling select family members. Most people who win the lottery end up having every acquaintance you've ever met start badgering you or suing you. Your old boss, your lovely cousin, the friends with kids who have medical bills. They all come out of the woodworks. And you should have some generosity to the people in your life, but that generosity needs guidelines and legal backing.

I was thinking,”I guess I’ll just have to lie to my mom about what I do for a living and set up, like, monthly payments to her?” Then I remembered that I recently let slip that someone she worked with was getting a divorce and, while I was pretty sure it was common knowledge, I wasn’t completely certain. So I asked her not to mention it at work, just pretend I didn’t mention that. She said she would.

A month later she texted me to notify my that my friend was getting a divorce. Like she thought this would be news to me.

What I’m saying is, if I tell her to pretend I didn’t win the lottery, she may actually forget I did*.

She says her doctors say there’s no sign of dementia. I think they are incorrect.

*I am not going to win the lottery because I don’t buy lottery tickets.

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
I was watching about a video about someone who hadn't redeemed a ticket yet and apparently the lottery commission of the state and the news were showing the store security camera footage of the ticket being bought to try to identify the buyer before time ran out.

Are you f'n kiddin' me!?

Imagine if you did everything right with your $1.8B ticket to keep people from finding out and the manager of the local Gas-n-Go decided to post your face on Youtube or Tiktok from the security camera.

Like every community has the 'that guy' that would be instantly found out by someone. He'd be a dead man before they could get it redeemed.

What

No lol. Lottery winners tell virtually no one and immediately vanish and go stay with friends and family quietly while they're getting their affairs in order. As for the ticket, even if someone tried to kill you or something, there'd be no way to be sure you had it on you or something just walking around. Plus, many states require lottery winners over a certain $ amount to publicly declare themselves, and aren't allowed to claim it under a trust fund or something.

There was a dude who mailed in his winning ticket which was about to expire (after a year). He used bog normal postage and included a letter saying he was pretty sure he had won but hadn’t got around to checking the numbers.
