No Sanppy, if I won the megamillions, I’d buy a big waterfront house in Mill Basin. I’d install a sign on my house that would light up at night with the message: “Up yours, Mr. B”!!
DH, you can decline to do the public appearance, but for “transparency and proof that real people do win,” they still have your name on record that anyone can look up. They recommend that you do the public appearance to get it over with and prevent a influx of loonies looking you up later, though I doubt it has that affect.
“So use all that is called Fortune. Most men gamble with her, and gain all, and lose all, as her wheel rolls. But do thou leave as unlawful these winnings, and deal with Cause and Effect, the chancellors of God. In the Will work and acquire, and thou hast chained the wheel of Chance, and shalt sit hereafter out of fear from her rotations. A political victory, a rise of rents, the recovery of your sick, or the return of your absent friend, or some other favorable event, raises your spirits, and you think good days are preparing for you. Do not believe it. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.”

“I just got 300 over there. Not that it makes me really, really happy or anything.”
WHAT? I left after posting 300. I guess they deleted that one. Rewriting history, BHB?
BD and infinite, You can still see BHB?
I wish I’d taken screen shots of some of the funnier bits.
Oh, Benson, can it! You know you’d be doin’ the electric boogaloo down Flatubush Ave if you hit the Mega Millions!
