If I were Filthy Rich

I don’t buy my tickets infrequently enough to justify trying to hide my identity. Additionally I only play when the lump sum estimate exceeds 200 million dollars.

A question or potential issue I have not found a solution to is my local lottery place selling video of my purchase to the news if I win.

The bigger the jackpot the bigger the interest and video of someone looking like me possibly even driving a car like mine buying the winning ticket right down the road from my house would be hard to dispute at work the next week should I follow the standard advice of doing anything like quitting your job right away.

Has anyone thought up a solution to this?

+19 @BlueRFR3100 How would they know you won? The video just shows that you bought it there. But it also shows everyone else that bought it there. How would they know it's you?

+12 @Hitthereset All these posts make assumptions that our coworkers and people in our lives are as obsessed with the lottery as everyone else here. I can’t imagine trying to watch grainy security footage to figure out who the winner is. That’s some wild behavior.
