Sacks, who uses the handle @MrsDowJones, says in order to not raise suspicion it’s important for winners to ‘remain cool and do not quit your job.’
In at number two, she highlights the importance of becoming more private and maintaining a low profile as a multi-millionaire.
This will involve deleting your social media, getting a PO box and changing your phone number.
When it comes to what to do with your winning ticket, Sacks recommends taking photos of it and making copies before putting it in a safety deposit box at the bank.
[If all this eludes you, send me the money and I’ll take on the nightmare for you. More seriously, though; if you win this large a prize, managing it will become a full-time job. You’ll have to ‘quit your day job’ to deal with it. — Ed]
