gambling winner identity

[skarais]

That is not enough excuse to hide his identity from his family. If his huge win can make his family lazy then he as a father has failed because a man who got the best training for his family in terms of morals and discipline will not get scared his children reaction to such win. For me this should be a boast to my kids in pursuing their dream careers except the man in question is not having plans on investing then he is the one to be scared of not his family.

The man was neither completely right nor completely wrong for the reasons given to hide his victory from the family. I think he needs to have good management of what the money is going to be used for, he has the right to manage it and I don't think his fears would be justified if all his family members found out.

He may be able to allocate 50% of his total winnings to a business run by his wife and children, or perhaps something else that keeps their finances growing. Hiding something big like this is not a good choice if we are married, but good financial management is a must.

I think everyone has the right to do as they wish but hiding such a huge sum from the family is difficult,extremely difficult.The problem that his kids and wife will spend a lot of money cannot be fixed as anybody with that huge amount is only natural to keep spending money.The son of my boss says it is not my fault that I was born rich and he spends truly a lot of money for fun like all the rich kids do.

Most of the gamblers though when they win the huge state lottery they never show their real identity in TV,some even wear costumes when signing so their family members cannot recognize them and I agree to this.

This man might be lying his wife and children for a while, but he can't keep this secret forever.
I don't know if this a smart move or a dumb mistake. I guess that the lottery winner is from Japan/South Korea or China. These countries have really strong work ethics and laziness is considered a mortal sin. On the other hand, working your a$s off for years, while having 30 million USD in the bank seems plain stupid. Perhaps this guy could use the money to invest and build a successful business. This also requires lots of work and he will use this business to teach his kids some lessons about business management and work ethics.

The man's reasoning is reasonable, but in my personal opinion this is an irresponsible act, he should as a husband, be honest with his wife or children and even if they turn into lazy, he just needs to educate them hard.

what do you think, is the man's action right or if you experience it (win a big jackpot) will you do as the man did or even be honest with your victory to your family??

It sounds like to me that he is just making excuses for avoiding taking care of his family and just does not want to make himself look bad in front of the public. He is a scumbag .

I really hope his family can get some of that money and find a better husband/father who will actually care and look after them as a man should. They say money is the root of all evil but I am willing to bet that this guy was never really a "family man" but rather an opportunistic leech who was probably disliked before he had wealth.

Some people tend to show their true character whenever they come into big amounts of money. Maybe because they think it makes them invincible against societal pressure or something?

He's reason is kind of funny, how will you hide money from your wife and children because you think they will be lazy, why will you hide anything from your wife, i don't know but won't the man spend the money on his wife and children? Or will he just hide the money and flex it alone? I think he should even have discussion with his wife so that they will know what to do with the money and not hiding the money from his wife, I believe the way you train your wife and children will decide if they will be lazy or not if their is money. If the man is trying to hide is identity from public I think that's really a good idea for security purpose, but shouldn't hide the money from his wife and children.

Perhaps that is only his second reason why he is hiding his identify. And we can only conclude that he doesn't want his family know because maybe they will live a lavish lifestyle because of this huge windfall. And perhaps he wanted, specially for this children to experience what life is, again, maybe he was brought to be like this before by his parents as well. He wants to infuse to them that they need to work hard if they want to achieved their dream and not being granted because they are rich because of his father winning the lottery. The first reason, his relatives coming and knocking on the door to ask for money.

[Saisher]

This is so funny maybe he has a distinct mark on his body that will identify by his relatives, by wearing a costume like that he can hide everything, it's his choice to do that to protect his identity and also to protect himself and his family, $30 million is such a huge amount he can endanger his family if many people know who he is he will have a lot of stalkers and many so-called friends will come out, maybe in the future, he will eventually tell this to his family, because $30 million is such a huge amount to hide.

Can't judge if I don't know the man's reason. If gambling can become a problem for the family in the future, then this is the right course of action. But keeping it a secret that he currently has a lot of money is not a good choice (morally), because actually he can think of a pretty acceptable reason other than saying that he got it from a lottery jackpot prize.

[inthelongrun]

It's funny. It is very possible that there could be more reason behind but he does not want to offend anyone so he uses his own family which will remain anonymous anyways. I will not blame the guy since we do not really know his intentions.

I might do it as well if I have an estranged wife and ungrateful children. But if I am living happily with my family then I will tell my wife at the very least. Winning big lotteries is dangerous in my country especially if the winner is just poor. So I might as well keep it secret as much as possible.

I think this is the best decision taken by the man though it's so funny looking at his appearance in custome, however there is some iota of sense in what he actually did having known the behavior of his wife and kids with regards to money, $30 million is a huge amount of money that might deter his children to go to school while his wife will abandon her job, he took this decision in the best interest of the family which I high believe is commendable, infact other close relatives would also want a share from his jackpot if he reveal his indentity this will him to become more popular in his community thus putting his life at risk.

I can't support the man's idea nor did I see his act to be irresponsible cause it is easy to judge people when we don't know what they know or put ourselves in their shoes. But, one I know for sure is that something is very good that not many people know about.
If he invested the money in his family's future, he's a very responsible man.

what do you think, is the man's action right or if you experience it (win a big jackpot) will you do as the man did or even be honest with your victory to your family??

I can do something.
1 It will keep the man from possible attack
2 Family putting all the financial needs on him
3 Some women are not good at saving whenever they see money all they want is to go out shopping. if the man said he hide his identity because of his wife and children I think his family is in this category.

Yes, it's really hard to judge what is the man's reason here, maybe he is doing it for him and for his family as well. And we all know that it's hard to keep a secret like this, specially when you go home once you got the money already.

It's good to remain anonymous, but I think it's better if he can share his winnings with his family and children and then build a happy home and life for them in the future.

At the end of the day its their personal choice whether they want to disclose that he won huge sum of money as matter of luck with his family or not and I am glad he took this stand for good cause. Every gambling site or operator has to keep the data safe from security threats but there is no mandatory that they wouldn't disclose the winner identify or any other user data with other third party companies for advertisement and others.

I often see someone involved in gambling, in some cases the wife strictly forbids her husband to gamble, in other cases if the husband is caught by his wife gambling is fatal, there are cases that lead to divorce and many negative cases between wives, children and husbands who are fatal, maybe we often encounter them around us, including our own friends.

In a case like this, that person wins the lottery jackpot, I think he has the right to hide his own identity for the win, we don't know maybe the person is gambling without being known by his wife and child, so it's very natural that he hides himself from his family, it's for the good of his family, of course it's all he himself who judges his good and bad goals, especially in the family, the reason he hid his identity for the victory.

Yes, I agree. But I am more in the side of he is actually right, we don't know his plan and I am sure that he allocate that money for his family in the future, maybe he just really want to see their hardworks before saying that they are having so much money or maybe he want to create a business for his family that when it is done he will say it to them. There is a chance that he actually create a time deposit for it as well who knows right.

[kamvreto]

I want to laugh at the man's excuse, that it will make his wife and child lazy. Of course, I don't think that's because his identity is disguised.
There will be other things like people who will target his family for having a lot of $30 million, his wife and children will become targets for crime.
Or as a matter of fact people will borrow the guy's money when they find out he has a lot of money.
So when he comes up with not wanting his wife and kids to know, then there's a real reason behind that and his yellow costume.
This man was very lucky to win the $30 million lottery.

I agree with you, and maybe that's why some gamblers including myself, my wife are very religious and I keep my gambling activities a secret even though I am not an active gambler. Karen if caught by my wife would be fatal and I know that, and maybe that can be said as an excuse even though we all don't know the truth.
I believe what he did was for the good of him and his family because no matter how bad we did it without the knowledge of the family, and the result is still for the beloved family and will be well taken care of. Because the reason is that the journey of life is still long and the victory will be used throughout the journey of life, and I judge it that way. And it's a great man to think about the future rather than momentary pleasures.

He has valid point if he has a problematic wife which is very materialistic since there's a tendency that wife will really become lazy and just want to spend money. This already happened in real life to some lottery winners that result to immediately loss all there winning money.

This is only wrong if the husband intended to spend the money secretly for his own needs because family should be priority first and we are all working on our jobs just to support our family needs. Winning a lottery is useless if you will not spend it with them.

[robelneo]

We do ridiculous things when we encountered unexpected wealth especially if the amount is as huge as $30 million his reason may be valid this is his family and he is afraid that his family will change their character and standard when they find out that they have $30 million but if he is a responsible family man he will give the best for his family and he will only spend it to his family's welfare, I think he's not the only one who did this thing, anyway he can't keep that secret forever, wives are good at secrets, their hunch is always right.

[madnessteat]

Each of us has the right to anonymity and even in relation to his family. That's why I understand this lucky guy perfectly.

Besides, he's telling the truth. Practice shows that children of rich parents do become lazy because they have no incentive to improve their skills. Why do it if daddy has the money to go through life without working.

Another important point I think is that when children have too much money, they are more likely to become drug addicts or alcoholics.
