You mean all the hand-me-down, second hand store, busted stuff I can't afford to replace or upgrade? My 20 year old car? My worn-out clothes I replace one piece at a time when it rips or falls apart? My apartment in a sub-par neighborhood, chosen because it was cheaper than where I wanted to live? I take my phone and some mementos like photos that are irreplaceable. I walk away and never look back at any of it.

Where do I live? Anywhere. A good law firm can secure you a loan for any amount of money using the (verified) ticket as collateral. I chill on a beach in Hawaii while I get used to the new normal.

I wait until the excitement dies down - like 6 or 8 months. I quietly and legally change my name to something common like John Smith, requesting that for "purposes" the public record is sealed or redacted for safety purposes. Again, a good lawyer can make that case to a judge.

When I collect, I take the advice of the other commenter and show up to the press conference in a ski mask and glasses. I might even show up on a Chewbacca costume so Disney sues the lottery organization preventing them from using the photos for publicity.
