I get that some people want privacy. But if you won the mega billion ultra powerball multistate lottery and took the one time payout of 800 million (which happens every few years), human nature and history tells us that one of these jokers, who are ordinary people, are going to make themselves famous with odd charity donations or buying stupid things on a whim that make the news.

I don't read about this sort of thing happening. I suppose it's happening, but I don't see it anywhere. Is the lottery at the highest levels a scam, that is to say, no real human being is getting the cash? I'd like to be shown otherwise. Thoughts?
