If you should win a lottery, a smart person would quickly call a lawyer and form a corporation, legally managed and ran anonymously, if possible. The goal it to keep the winnings ‘secret’ as possible. That way, you don’t find people crawling out of the woodwork, demanding “loans”, “investment opportunties” and outright “gifts”. If something gets botched, they can sue the Corporation, not you. Then, you can proceed on to the other necessities, such as insuring yourself such that if you should die, your heirs have enough insurance coverage to pay the IRS the taxes on their inheritance - because the IRS is going to want to be paid. You do not open your mouth and say “I won” ... it’s amazing no one has killed her for the ticket already.
