This is totally made up, but I’m hopeful it will actually happen.
I won the lottery. I found out by looking on one of the apps and saw my state had the jackpot winner. Naturally I knew I was the winner. I got my ticket and compared numbers and yep, it was me. There might have been a few squeals and feeling of nausea and a few thoughts of, “Yeah!”, “Oh Fuck” and a final much calmer “Oh yeah.” I didn’t scan my ticket because I didn’t want the program to know I was the ticket holder.
I did scan my ticket and take a picture, with me holding the ticket. I put the real ticket into a plastic baggy and the next day went to the bank and opened a safe deposit box and put that puppy in there along with me holding the ticket.
That was the easy part. Now I had to get help. I needed to get a Financial person, a lawyer, and tax person to start with. Even though my state doesn’t allow anonymous I needed to find a way to be anonymous and set up a trust or trusts to help keep my identity secret.
I didn’t want to be flashy about this I just wanted to make sure everything was thought through about how to handle the money so I could live a good life.
So, it took months to go through what I wanted to do and how to do it.
