First I would give some money to the old woman in the "ethics" thread. Then I would tell everyone and then I would buy my one way ticket to Mars.

I have never played it so I don't know. Probably not. Someone once asked my Pastor if it would be ok to play the lottery as far as God was concerned. He replied, what's 10% of a million dollars?

The first thing I'd do is get in touch with that Nigerian prince and tell him I'm now in a position to help him.

I've won the lottery before, but I don't think you're talking about $5 payout kind of prizes.

I'd not tell anyone, but I would have a member of the staff do so...

I would tell everyone as soon as my compound/bunker in the middle of nowhere was built. The only thing I'd disclose about my location is that it would need to be within 45 minutes of a Costco.

I'd be sure to tell my boss that I won and why he/she is a poor manager.

When I win I'll be required to identify myself because I live in a State that insists on that.

Since the cat will be out of the bag - Blue Chip picks for everyone! Well, wait a minute. $40 a pop and there are 79,300 members here. That's over 3 million.

I'll tell you what, if it's one of those 100+ million jack pots, and I don't have to share it with anyone else I'll ... get you all a Wegen. They're only about $5 per, and just as nice as a blue chip.

No need. My guitar shop would figure it out...

I think I would tell some close people, people that might benefit from my winnings, with instructions that if anyone finds out, nobody gets anything. Then I'd sort of launder the money. I'd try and use it to invest in something, do that sort of secretly, then at some point if and when that thing becomes successful, I would come clean that lottery winnings gave me my jump start.

I may basically not tell anyone at all at first also. Or I may say that I won some much smaller sum than I actually did, which would cover some visible differences in my spending habits.

I don't know, that's what I think right now. If it ever happened, I would for sure not tell anyone, until I had thoroughly thought this question through, and come up with some sort of plan, then I would carry that out.
