Grand Lotto Winner

[acroman08]

I guess I'm overthinking it. I just can't stop thinking about it especially when there were cases where the winner got robbed, killed, or their family kidnapped, etc...

But the funny thing is, most of the Filipinos who won lotteries loses their cash winning due to the suckers in their family as well as poor financial management. And personally, winners should be more afraid to the people who know them personally.

it's not just their family, their neighbour would also start sucking up to them and some would actually demand that they should give them money and if they didn't they would start talking bad things about them.

Recently someone in our country just won a whopping 401Million Pesos(7+Million dollars) from our 6/55 Grand Lotto and another Winner of 5.9Million Pesos(105k Dollars) from our 6/42 Lotto draw. I am happy for these two winners but I am a little worried since the Lotto Organizer mentioned what city they are from. I hope that the Lotto organizer never mentions their names since these people who just had a life-changing experience could be in danger if they ever revealed their names.

I believe that the mentioned Lotto Organizer should know better than to reveal their winners identity. They know if they do that, then they would be putting their winners in a very dangerous situation. Especially in a poorer country with criminals known to do anything just for a small amount of money. Whether 7 million or 105k Dollars, thats still considered a huge amount.

Hopefully they can move to a better place and live a better life.

This is exactly why Bitcoin is so important. You can announce the winners without mentioning them by name. Although that would be poor opsec as well, perhaps.

Even if the organizer didn't mention their name, I'm pretty sure the winners will spread the news and tell the world that they are the winner. It's actually good to have a real winner since there's a rumors that those are the fake winners, and I'm glad that is not true. Let's hope that the winners will spend the money wisely or else they will ended up broke again. Lotto is a one time big time opportunity, if luck in favors you expect a huge reward from it, lotto is not for me i believe.

There is no need to brag about what he has won because if he does that, his life and that of his family may be in jeopardy or he may be brought close to a disaster caused by people with bad motives. Especially now that robberies and housebreakers are rampant again due to the intensification of poverty.

If I were the lucky winner, I would just be lowkey and I wouldn’t want to let everyone know that I was the lucky one that won the jackpot prize.

On the one hand, the anonymity of the winners is a really good option for them in terms of security, but on the other hand, there are many additional questions. Firstly, how can you be sure that the draw was fair and the organizers really gave the prize to someone (or did not give it to their relative)? Secondly, what is the situation in the country that a person should hide his wealth? If everything is so bad, then after receiving the money, it would be reasonable to simply leave for another country where the police work better.

Some people can be very concerned about privacy, but not everyone. I do not know how the lottery is done, but there have been some people that would win but not want their names to be mentioned if they win, but some people will even want the whole world to know how lucky they are. Also it depends on the rules to follow as well.

Some people can say it is a lie that nobody win anything, but as their name is mentioned and if they are funded what they won, people will believe that they actually won the money and received the money, so nobody is deceived and nobody will believe in deception if there is transparency.

Your concern is valid.

If someone got suddenly rich with that amount, you would really think of your safety and you'll have to play and remain lowkey for your relatives and friends not to know that you've become rich.

There is nothing wrong if you're prioritizing your safety because of the news that you've heard before about those winners. And that's why, don't broadcast it and I think they've been debriefed about it.

I think it's fine since it's just the location and imagine how much is the population for that area. Well, the winners would be on lie low now considering that grand win, better to claim it when the time is right and no one is talking for that. This is not the first time that location was being mentioned for lotto winners.

Well, PCSO never mentioned the name of winners. So, no worries about that. As they know the winner and their families might be in danger if they will reveal it to public. As long as the winner will keep his/her profile low key and not gonna keep on buying things continuously. The community where he lives won't suspect. If I were the winner. I'm gonna move to another place. It's the first and best move to do.

[fiulpro]

The danger they would be from is their closest relatives i do hope that you understand the fact that people even though they might seem absolutely harmless but they can do anything for money as well, therefore I do think he needs to be wary of his relatives and understand the fact that privacy needs to be taken care of thus he needs to take it to the company as well this case might not be the sole one as well, if the companies are trying to publicize themselves they need to understand that it's better done in a way where no one can get harmed, i hope the winners are able to sort it out and make sure they are treating the winners properly in the future as well.

Mentioning their cities might not be as risky as mentioning their names. congratulations to both of them, their names were not revealed by the Lotto organizers so there is nothing to worry about. I haven't tried Lotto before but will like to have an experience and hope to get lucky when i do because Lotto has changed lots of lives even as so many has lost to it as well.

[3meek]

It seems to me that $100,000 is not an amount that would put people at serious risk. Many people have that kind of money which they successfully keep in banks. Or for example, a lot of people have a lot of cryptocurrency, which is much more dangerous when someone finds out about it. Many people drive expensive cars, but somehow bad things don't happen to them as often... So why should anything bad happen to those who win a large sum of money in a casino?

In the states it's common to announce the winner.  Depending on what state you live they announce or they allow you to stay anonymous.  There have been plenty of bad stories about lottery winners and things that people do to them strictly for the money.

if the organizers just mention which city the winner is from it doesn't matter. but who is very afraid if the organizers mention his name. because surely there will be many criminals who are after their money or property to be stolen.
if this happens in my country, not only criminals are targeting the lottery winner but the bank will ask for wealth tax even if it is only from gambling

lots of people and strangers might try to ask for "balato" on their home. Another one is, and that's common here in PH, they will be having more relatives if you know what I mean.

i know what you mean. there will be many people who claim to be brothers after winning the lottery

As long as they don't mention the real names of the winners, I think they are just fine. Its the winners who should be taking their security seriously because if they also announced they won something big,  their relatives will start coming. They need to protect themselves from the long lost friends and relatives who might suddenly show up on their doorstep.

And also he needs to protect himself from himself, don't start living like a king. People hate it when you don't look like a winner in life but got a lot of money.

I think the organizer did that for a little transparency and to confirm and inform the bettors that someone already won. As long as they didn't mention the exact location then I don't see any harm with that. I just hope that the winner would be able to handle and use his winnings wisely because there were big lotto winners that revealed their identities after losing their winnings for mishandling and misusing it.

[wiss19]

Chill man it was only the city that was revealed and not their whole identity. The lotto organizer also knows the dangers of doing it but I think in other countries like in the U.S, the lotto winners' identities there are being revealed. Oh well, this was a rich country so people here has a less interest to rob someone else than to those are in a poorer country.

Good for you that you are happy for the winners but to some, especially to those who also bet on that lotto game, they will feel bad and badly beaten up their selves on why they can't win like that. Well maybe god has a different plan for them? Who knows? And money isn't all anyway but there are still things there that can make us happy.

[crwth]

I'm curious about documentaries about lottery winners that either went broke after winning or managed to really change their lives with it. Because their faces and names are revealed. I'm not sure about every documentary but I know there are a lot of videos concerning people that have won and just went broke after a while.

I do know that they manage to just announce where the ticket was bought and then just stay at that. Knowing that in a 3rd world country, it would definitely be given hot eyes or something. Being subjected to gossip as well.

They need to understand that winning in something like this is impossible. You definitely have a higher chance of being struck with lightning than winning this. So if they are butthurt that they didn't win, then they don't understand statistics. How are they even going to be badly beaten by themselves? Were they hoping to win? It's definitely a very low chance and the winner is just damn too lucky.

[Newlifebtc]

In my opinion it is always good to keep the names hidden from the rest of the world. It is not just because of criminal threat, but the people close to them will also start expecting. I've seen people helping the one that helped them in their hard days. In such a way helping others and giving on request is different. For many reasons what the lottery firm have decided to do is really good.

anything that is done secret is not really worth it but in aspect of giving someone gift or helping someone to achieve success it can be done without letting anyone know because it is a something that will be returned to God if anything good or positive comes for it I believe that so many people are like agenda of something hidden so that nothing or nobody will know anything concerning their plans and the success we are it come from that is only mentality why people always do something hidden this is from my suggestion

[Viscore]

I hope that the Lotto organizer never mentions their names since these people who just had a life-changing experience could be in danger if they ever revealed their names.

Prior to that, there are several people who won the jackpot too within just a few months.

Don't worry, if you are not used to following the PCSO lottery, they never ever tell or mentioned the names of the jackpot winner in the public. I'm sure you are watching some news before and you don't remember that PCSO named the jackpot winners.

If they will be in danger, then they can't control it anymore. They just have to keep it secret as much as they can and always be safe. But personally, for me, that's not the issue they will face but surely, if they will be known as a jackpot winner, lots of people and strangers might try to ask for "balato" on their home. Another one is, and that's common here in PH, they will be having more relatives if you know what I mean.

Even if their names are not mentioned in the news, their life could still be in danger knowing their neighborhood will spread the news, for sure a lot of them were eyeing the new millionaires. Either they will ask for some "balatos", or worst some eyeing them to steal some money. That is why most of the grand lotto winners just leave their homes so they won't get in troubled, or have some vacation in other countries so they can stay away from those scammers.
