Revealing Your SuperEnalotto Win
After winning a large prize in SuperEnalotto, you must decide whether to remain anonymous or go public with your win. Here are the various options available to SuperEnalotto winners:
Revealing Your Identity
Many lottery winners who go public do so because keeping such a large win hidden from family and friends can become too difficult. The more people you tell, the greater the chances the news will become public. Christine Weir, who won 185 million dollars in EuroMillions, stated at a press conference that she and her husband would have preferred to remain anonymous, but “we wouldn’t have been able to enjoy this experience if we had started lying to our loved ones.”
Remain Anonymous
The majority of SuperEnalotto winners do not publicly announce their win and do not disclose any personal information to the press. By doing so, they avoid unwanted attention, both from journalists and from people, known or unknown, who may want a share of the winnings.
Reveal Some Information
Some winners allow the press office to release only some personal details, without disclosing their full name. VinciCasa winners often use pseudonyms to reveal information about how they will use their winnings.
In November 2017, a player from Jesi (Ancona) won the VinciCasa jackpot of €500,000. He presented himself as “Mr. B&B” because he decided to use his winnings to open a bed and breakfast. Mr. B&B only told his father about the win and publicly announced his plans without revealing his identity.
