If there is a winner (or winners) tonight, if they have half'a'lick'a'sense, they VERY QUIETLY sign the ticket, head to the bank and store it in a safe deposit box.

Then, as quickly and quietly as possible, meet with legal and finanical advisors (**experienced** in dealing with large sums of cash), about protecting their win and their identify, possibly establishing a sole proprietorship or LLC which is represented by an attorney so the principals do not have to go public.

The winner collects their winnings, and working through their financial and legal advisors, establish trusts, scholarships, investment funds, etc while disappearing for a few months....

6 months later, the winner resufaces, tanned, fit, looking better than they have in years; Their neighbors comment, "Gee, haven't seen you around for a while, you LOOK great!"

The winner replies, "Thanks, good of you to say, just needed to take some time off and get outta town for a while...."
