Going public with a lottery win ‘is down to the individual’ – August 1st 2011

  by: admin - Category:

Everybody has an opinion about whether or not it is a good idea to go public if somebody wins big on the lottery – and one lifestyle guru has said it is down to the individual, but it can lead to trouble.

Author and founder of thelifealchemist.org John Rushton said that keeping a lotto windfall under one’s hat can be a good idea because announcing the good news can lead to a lot of unwelcome requests and pressure.

He acknowledged, however, that “it’s down to you”, but added: “All of a sudden you walk into a pub with your friends and everybody stares at you and the reason they stare is [because] you have to buy the drinks.”

But not everybody who goes public with their lottery win encounters problems, because according to Get Reading, two UK National Lottery jackpot winners who decided to go public – Annette and Terry Rooke of Calcot – said their lotto payout really improved their lives.
