If I would win, I would collect it anonymously...
What you can expect when you win the jackpot.
As part of the Open Records Act, we are required to release to the public your name, hometown, amount you won and the game you played. This information will be posted on coloradolottery.com and will be furnished to media upon request.
You will be interviewed by the Colorado Lottery Media Relations team and a press release will be distributed to local media outlets. You may also be asked to participate in a press conference to answer questions directly from reporters. Our Media Relations team will work closely with you to ensure your comfort with the process.
You’ll be asked to have your picture taken which will appear on our “Wall of Winners,” our website, and our Facebook and Twitter social media outlets.
I vow right now, that if I hit as the only winner, I would like to give one million dollars to each and every legal household in the US. (There are @ 116 million households in this country). Of course there are most likely legalities and logistic problems associated with a venture of this sort, but I will try if I am lucky enough in the 292 million odds to win. Hopefully this would stimulate the economy, end the welfare state so our leaders in DC couldn't use the welfare excuse anymore as one of the blocks to get us out of our $1.6 trillion quagmire.

Cool, can I give you my home address now?
Unfortunately, my math skills were quite lacking, despite my attempted conception of a noble venture. I honestly would give away all but @ $20,000,000. At what point is too much for a person to spend on themselves and their loved ones? After maybe a vacation house on a beach, I have no interest in buying a boat, a jet, a McMansion, etc. I'm quite happy with my middle-class, minimalist lifestyle, but I would like to pay off bills, two college tuitions and my kid's school loans, etc. If the rest could alleviate other people's needs, that's alright with me. Money can't buy happiness, it just makes things a helluvalot easier.
