Topic: gambling winner identity (Read 1278 times)

yes, everything depends on ourselves, if I win the lottery I will educate my children and wife to open a business and from there I can start a new life without people knowing I have a lot of money from winning the lottery and besides teaching my family to don't waste money on something unnecessary, everything goes back to how we educate our families

By telling them about our victory, we have told the truth and must emphasize that we must continue to live as usual and not spend excessive money. We should live as usual and be able to save the winning money for our family life in the future than waste it now. But many winners feel rich compared to others and use the money to buy the things they want. This will make their family stand out from other people's families but everything has a limit and when that limit is almost gone or even gone, we won't be able to do it anymore.

I agree with you, if you see that your children and wife are already struggling to be financial responsible with managing their own finances, then how is it going to be when they find out about the lottery win. Having access to large sums of money without doing anything can ruin every motivation to achieve something in life. His decision might have been morally wrong, but it's hard to. Judge without knowing his whole family situation. Winning big in a lottery only happens to very few lucky people, and the people who are doing well with their winnings we will probably never hear about it. What we hear about is the stories of lottery winners who manage to spend all their millions in a few years and are broke again. There are so many articles online about people who lived above their means and are poor now. In my opinion secrecy is everything when it comes to dealing with a big lottery win. Once the word gets out who won the millions, then all the people who you have known in life will come back. It becomes difficult to distinguish between real and fake friends. Can't blame someone to try and stay anonymous, even from our own family.

the act of the man in costume when it was published was the right action for me.
How can someone be happy if it is publicly published and earns a lot of money? wouldn't that just make the criminals target him?
this man really has a wise way to protect himself and his family from the targets of criminals who know if he gets a lot of money from the lottery. $30 million is not a small amount of money.




I would reply, if that happened to me, I would do the same as that guy.
it's not about responsibility but it's about educating the family so they don't become lazy when they know their family members have a lot of money.
because out there are many wives and children who are lazy when a husband has a lot of money and only relies on money from his husband.

I strongly believe this very man must have a good reason to have taken up such decision of anonymity even up to his family members, who knows, maybe he has children that are not well behaved when it comes to money management and a wife that probably he must have tried her with financial responsibility at different intervals but couldn't do well at it.
It becomes so frustrating having family members that are not meticulous in money spending and it can make a person to decide to hide his or her financial income from them so they don't come tasking you now and then knowing that you actually have the money the are tasking you for.

Another is that maybe this very man must have had a budget for this money on a project he wants to use the money to execute and family members interference into it might hinder him from achieving it on time.
Even as this man must taken up such decision of anonymity I still think that he still assist his family with the money

actually it's still a question mark that the man in the public photo doesn't mean the man won't tell his wife and child, it could be that he doesn't want his extended family to know or his friends so he closes himself to his victory, if I was in his position I would do the same thing the same and only tell my wife and children so they can know the money I have but still teach them to be thrifty and not to waste money so as not to stand out from the people around me 

This man's reason is truly reasonable but not excusable enough because his family is supposed to be his first and utmost priority as well. His family deserves to have all tye the good thingsife has to offer and I don't also know why he feels his family might be lazy but whatever his reasons are, they aren't justified and isn't acceptable to me.

$30 million dollars is a huge sum of money and rather than keeping the entire money away from his family, he should better still being out a portion and also educate his family harder just as OP suggested in his post and he should try as much as possible to get them engaged rather than just conclude conclude that his family might be lazy.

His reason was quite clear being explained in the thread. He just wanna make his family will not become lazy as you can imagine how lazy his child and wife when they hear if their father was getting a big jackpot from doing gambling. Im sure that his wife will be stopping to work and then she will be only using money that being won from lottery to make her live become even more luxurious than before. His reason was actually make sense at all.
That's why some people who have been winning the big amounts of money from lottery was hiding their identity due to the various reasons. They have their own personal reason and that's look good at all.

Well, given that he has a family already, then his obligation must be centered around providing for his family. The fact that he wore a disguise and reasoned  that his wife/children may get his money speak on his overall lifestyle- but maybe there are reasons more than meets the eye in this situation.

Remember that Chinese people are notorious for their money tactics. They love businesses and money-making schemes where they are well-known around the globe for their thirst for money. Maybe this father has to discipline his family in order not to fall from the greediness on resources. Though the reasoning he provided is shallow, I still believe that he has other justifiable reasons for doing so.

Hiding the identity will safeguard the winners from the scammers and hackers that were focusing on the winning amount. As mentioned money is important and for that reason we should share the winning with family members. Because, when we keep our winning securely without the knowledge of family members sometimes we might land into wrong investment/spending.

I was a little thoughtful when I saw this photo, but in my humble opinion, I found this "tactic" to not be recognized interesting lol
I believe that in a way, if a certain person wins a reasonable amount in an award, he may have the right to preserve his image. (it's up to the winner whether or not to show their image) Of course, this is just my opinion regarding of this topic!

It’s definitely the best thing to do to hide your real identity but only for those big scammers waiting in the corner, and not from your own family. Regardless if the wife and child are extravagant or not, but as a husband and a father to his child, he should be honest to them especially in big matters like this. Money is very important to ensure the bright future of his own family, at least he should have thought of that before giving them all.

Someone who makes big money from gambling may want to hide his identity. This is a very natural right and a natural situation. We can all want to do this. The hero of the subject also used this right. Also, we may want to hide it not only from our spouse and children, but also from our more distant relatives and acquaintances, but he made a very funny image using a strange costume. He could try using a simpler method. I would not prefer to hide the money I have won from gambling or elsewhere. I would be honest with them about this because every lie we tell, regardless of the subject, damages our family ties. I believe we must continue to act honestly to have healthy relationships. Of course, I respect other people's choices.

There can be three reasons for this in my personal opinion.
 
1) The thought crossed his mind that he and his family might be in danger if people know that he had won such a huge amount of money.

2) He would like to surprise them with a cheque of this huge amount when he returns home.

3) He used to gamble secretly and does not want to let his family know.

Way back, this was really rampant in winning the lottery. People were not afraid of showing their faces to the national television because criminal activities and its rate were really low back then. Illegal activities that involve great risk toward someone that were filed were only few. Perhaps the way of living before is still attainable and manageable compared to today wherein people have to resort to doing bad stuff just to survive and put food on their mouths.

Nowadays, you can really see the transition and changes from how they do things. Today, people are more wary of their actions. Most people are becoming self-conscious and are now prioritizing their privacy over anything else because of security reasons and having inner peace. In this modern time, you can barely see a lottery winner publicly announcing they have won. This is because anonymity is becoming more and more preferable. People will hide their identity to spare themselves from being vulnerable to those people who want to take advantage of them. Since money attracts unnecessary attention of the bad guys (robbers, murderers, and the likes) you would rather keep your mouth shut instead of bragging. In addition, to ensure that their winnings will not be recklessly given away to anyone who will borrow from them or ask help from them.

Let's make things applicable in it appropriate manners, gamblers privacy is very important especially when it comes to revealing identity to the public, but what is not good is intransparency to the family, why should a gambler hide gambling frombhis family since that's what he does either for a living or not, that means he can as well go ahead hiding other important things away from the family, let's be real to ourselves and others and stop hiding under a vail espec to where we belong, family first no matter what, being a gambler does not mean being irresponsible.

And that is a terrible thing if what you say is true. I don't know which country you are from. however, related to what you said. I can't imagine, how the kidnapping happened and the extreme one is disappearing someone, in this case for the lottery winner.  and if we refer to the title of this thread, as long as the lottery draw platform doesn't mind when a winner of the lottery wants to keep their identity secret. it is perfectly legal, if not against the license and against the rules they have as a lottery draw platform.

Even so, on the contrary there will be various questions from fans of this lottery draw. is the win real, or just a setting from the lottery platform. and in my opinion, there will always be pros and cons regarding keeping the privacy of the lottery winner a secret. note : related to criminal cases that occurred in your country, in this case the lottery winner. authorities such as the police should be able to deal with things like this for the comfort and safety of the community.

an interesting fact that has been happening in my country, for a long time, whenever someone won the lottery prize, they showed that person's face, there was no problem and that person received his prize and there was no risk to his life, people did not have a problem talking about playing the lottery, but with the increase in kidnappings in recent times and murders now when the prize is a lot of money, when someone wins a lot of money, that person doesn't show his face and they don't even say the person's name, which means that lottery organizers do not want to risk the lives of winners

Thank you. Like I said before I would do the same thing also. You do not want to be careless with your jackpot when you know the implications of wasting it. Poverty is not an experience anyone wants to have again once you escaped it the first time. We have cases of families suddenly turning lazy and wasteful when they suddenly become rich and that is what the lucky gambler fears happening to his family.

I think someone else have created a topic about this before 🤔

A man understands his family more than anyone, if he said that they will become lazy then he is saying the truth, you as a husband should know what your child and wife is capable of when it comes to money.

I won't blame this man, this is a very good move.
