I created this topic as a result of this news,
a young Ghanaian man won 6,000,000 GHC ($501,664) with a bet of 40 GHC. This happened few days ago and it trended on social media. Some of the comments from netizens are that the young man should leave Ghana to avoid being robbed or poisoned.
I know some of us must have seen the formal presentation of a mega winner to the public by a gambling platform. Most times, these bookies invite media outlets to their offices to cover the ceremony, so that the news could be captured on newspapers, tv, internet etc. My questions are... Can a bettor reject being unveiled to the public? Are gambling platforms paying an extra money for the publicity?
Yes we must seen the winner but they should not reveal his personal information since many people watching them and this might cost his life for putting his self at risk on public eyes.
If there's a written rules regarding on revealing the winner maybe its best for them to do something to protect the winner and not just to flaunt up because they want to gain hype for showing the lucky person who win on their lottery.
I know many people will get hype to this win but they should consider the danger it could possibly bring so if I am the winner of this lottery I will say to this people that I want to be anonymous since I don't want to receive any threats that can stress me.
