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.
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.

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.

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??

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.

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.
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.

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;

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?
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.

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.

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'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.

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.

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 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??
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
