[Renampun]

this is a good topic [Gambling house responisbilty to protect people data] and it should be mandatory for gambling houses to keep user privacy safe but there is something interesting that I saw in a tweet;

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??

What? if the casino is fine for the lucky gambler can wear a yellow costume, why you must force him to not wear a yellow costume then? This man is clever, he only need to spend some money to buy the yellow costume rather than educate his children and his wife many times. Why he need to wasting his time to educate his wife and children if he have a way to avoid it?

Now answer me, are you want to work from 7AM to 7PM and got paid for $5 or you're only work from 7AM to 12AM and got paid for $10? I believe no one will pick the first choice.

that man has been taking the best decision to hide his identity through wearing the costum, it's not only happened with him but so many winners in gambling were also doing the same to hide his identity. I think that you shall need to read this news https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-63030960

Winning lottery didn't mean if that will make your life even more comfortable than before. He just wanna try to avoid snow ball effect caused by revealing his identity to the public.

You can imagine if his wife will be so crazy with it and then so many people who known him will ask help from him to take loan from what he has been winning. it's not acceptable and it will be disturbing your life as well.

I'm actually more curious whether there is an obligation for lottery winners to be documented when giving prizes? If not, then my guess is just for fun.

As for why he hid his winnings from his family, it could be that he had evil intentions with the money he got, meaning to enjoy it for himself, it is better to educate the family to be able to use money properly than to hide it just because of fear of his wife and children being lazy, hopefully not something bad happened to him because it could be that neither he nor his family ended up enjoying anything because of stupid reasons like that

These stories fascinate me. I understand that you can hide 30,000 USD from your wife, children and friends, if you like, but 30 million? Not a chance.

Besides, I think he has the wrong mentality. It's true that there are people who win a large sum of money in the lottery and go bankrupt, but that money well managed gives you peace of mind for the rest of your life. I would make it clear to both of them, especially to the son, that as long as they behave as they should, they won't have to worry about money for the rest of their lives, but if, for example, when the son has to go to university instead of studying, he spends his time drinking, partying and doing cocaine, he won't see a penny.

I think it's reasonable to do so as he doesn't want his kids to be like other sons of Chinese tycoons driving around thier Ferraris and Lambos partying all night.

Money like that can make a person go crazy like they're above the law. We've seen rich people just laying around sunbathing on thier yacht and bribing officials. Maybe he doesn't want his kids and wife to be like them.  And also he protects his identity also, anyone can just visit his house if his identity is revealed.

[Yatsan]

He has his own reasons. It is possible that he is just hiding his prize from his family to avoid them slacking off and being comfortable with life or he has other plans which is why he decided not to tell them. At the end of the day, he is the one who won the jackpot and he has the rights of doing anything to his rewards.

These stories fascinate me. I understand that you can hide 30,000 USD from your wife, children and friends, if you like, but 30 million? Not a chance.

Maybe he could put it in his savings account or open another account to a different bank without letting his family know. Not to judge but I guess, he's not a high profile individual so we could assume his family as well. There are chances that his wife is not knowledgeable with banking procedures which gave him the idea to keep it a secret.

What troubles me is that, what if something happened to that man? Not hoping but just being realistic. Given that he did not mention it to his family, will his family be notified? If yes, then that would be promising on his family's end, but conflict may arise if not.

True. A lot of things can happen.

This is not just about preventing his wife and kids to become lazy, he is protecting his family from crimes to come.  I think the guy is sane enough to learn how dangerous this world is that families turn each other like a bunch of animals because of money.

With criminals looking for prey,  $30M is a huge motivation to find this guy.  The criminals may even kidnap the guy beside him just to find out the identity of the man in the yellow costume. He could have just worn something like a mask though.

He does like that for a reason, and he is the one who knows about his own family. Hiding it from his own family for a good reason is not something wrong imho. Lets say you have a wife and children who like to spend money for useless thing, or in other words they cant manage money well. It can be a reason for you to not tell them as they may ask the money then spend it for nothing. Other reason can be related to security, if his family knows means that there is a chance for his family to spread the news to others and it may attract people (the bad one) to do something against them for the money. Hiding such huge amount of money is better choice telling it to others.

[Oshosondy]

If the wife has been supportive when he was not rich, hiding it from heroes is very wrong, he wanted suffering for her? Saying she's going to be lazy is just an excuse. It is very possible the man is not saying the true reason for not letting her know, or maybe I am wrong about it, but in my opinion, there is nothing bad telling her wife if not telling children. As for me, I will tell my wife about it and also look for better business to start that which will yield more income. I just know that no one that has better ambition would be able to hide the money forever, one way or the other, the family will later know that he is getting richer.

[danherbias07]

First of all, why are they making the winners go public? Is there no choice about going public or not? What about their safety?

About his reasoning, I think he missed that privacy should be the first thing that let him do the yellow costume thing and not because of a selfish act.
Although, if he is honest about what he said then I admire him. He can still support them from the shadows without knowing he won the lottery.
This will avoid making spoiled brat kids that would only reason out about their riches which is why they won't go to school or if they want things immediately.

[Yaunfitda]

To his family? I doubt that he can keep it a secret, maybe when he goes home he can tell it to his wife. But I do agree that the winner should remain anonymous.

Just like what we are here in crypto, I guess for the majority of us we really wanted to stay hidden although it's pseudo anonymous. Of course, base on the other thread, i someone knows you are a winner then they will go and look for you to ask for free money and that is what you wanted to avoid.

[Dave1]

I guess he is really a good father and provider because he still doesn't want to pamper his kids to grow like spoiled brat because of all the money he had won here.

So I d agree with him not to show his face in public, there is still this physical threat. If we here in bitcoin, we have the 5 dollar wrench attack, it is also possible in real life. So good for him and hopefully he will remain hidden from the prying eyes of the public.

I've seen this in my social media feed he may have done the right thing he knows his family more than we do,  so as a patriarch if he decides that he wants to keep it secret then it's his decision, he may have a different upbringing for his children like he teaches his children that they should not rely on easy money and should work hard on it, I may do that if I am in his shoes the most important thing is he is a good provider, and he will spend all the money to his family.

[Gozie51]

This is really funny to me but a really deep meaning that only this man who has decided to custume himself with Santa Claus can explain his real intent. It reminds me of banny custume and I like that cartoon. Well if this man says he is hidding his winning money of $30 million away from his family, it is really something to have deep thought on. Is this man really a father if he is not giving anything to the up keep of the home. If he has a scattered and divorced home, maybe that could be a reason.

[Daltonik]

Perhaps his motive was really to keep his from publicity and what he said was just an excuse, we don't know, many people want to be made public in one case or another, but here we are talking about a large amount of winnings and if under the terms of the lottery it is necessary to accept the winnings in person, then such a choice is justified.

You might see the man's action as irresponsible but he might have a very good reason for his action. We might not know the behavior of his wife and children, it might be they are extravagant and has the tendency to become lazy if he exposes the win. He lives with them and understands them better than anyone. It is also a common experience to see family members of rich individuals waste money on unnecessary things because the money is just available. I think he want to still ensure that his family members remain hardworking, regardless of his wins. But he shouldn't secretly spend the money alone, his family should feel the impact of his win

Firstly,I am thrilled by this man's decision to hide his identity from the public. At least he has saved himself from a potential attack or intimidation of criminals and fraudsters. I would only reveal my win to reliable family members because this big win can be lead to envy from people. And envy is the root of many evils.

[Doan9269]

But his reasons were nit genuine enough, why should he have much concerns about his family thanbthe public wwho may attack him, i dont know if his name was actually written on the prize winning if not his wife and children together with any other external person can easily got him identified, I think he needs not to cover his face but his name and personal information, his family can't be a threat to him but outsider can, they may decided to attack him, moreover also in avoiding his family, does that mean he wont allow them to know and enjoy the money received and spend everything to himself, this man seems to be more careful about his family than the general public.

[dbc23]

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.

I'll do the same so that nobody will know how rich we are even my relatives. I'll just show them some hint that we're living not the same as before but it won't be like that will get anything that they want.
For personal and family safety, it's best to hide things like this that you've won a lot of money because you'll be hot in the eyes of people that might commit harmful things to you in exchange of money that they will ask.
