You've Won the Lottery...but at what cost?

You’ve just won the lottery – every Canadian's dream. After the initial shock and excitement, the details of collecting your winnings are revealed. Among them is a condition that you must have your name and picture published as the big lottery winner for the world to see.

You've likely never considered the costs of winning a lottery jackpot. Announcing your name and identity seems harmless at first. But in reality, it can be devastating. Now that everyone knows you that you are the big winner, your privacy, property, and in extreme cases, even your physical person can be at risk.

Revealing your identity after a lottery win can result in:

  • Falling out with family members and friends
  • Phones ringing off the hook
  • People knocking on the door all the time
  • A complete lack of privacy
  • Invasive scrutiny of your past
  • Attacks on your history, family, or even your person
  • Endless solicitation
  • In rare cases, violence
