Apparently lottery winners are advised to 'go public'. A big win is impossible to hide, going public gets the publicity out of the way in one news story then you can get on with enjoying your win.

The issue with £160 odd million is security, not publicity, surely?

It took an age for the person who won to claim the ticket.....I though we might have a case of neighbours phone the Police because there is a bad smell next door - Police break into house and find pensioner dead from heart failure with winning ticket in their cold, dead hand and the TV still on.......

Question is, do you;

a, cut off the hand and claim it was like that when you got there?
b, prize open the fingers and risk interrupting rigormortis?
c, leave it well alone because you have more ethics than Rupert Murdoch?

Smelly dead people don't need £166,000,000!

Just steal the ticket then pay for a nice funeral, give a few million to their kids, everyone's a winner.....
