How about you? When do you think is the right time to claim your winnings?
If I'll be lucky to win a lotto then I will claim it after maybe a few weeks. I have to give time on how to handle my security as in our country, you are a target by criminals if they know that you have lots of money.
I have once a co-worker who hit the lotto jackpot and he took some time for us to realize that he won the lotto as he didn't divulge this to us, we were just surprised on the sudden change of lifestyle like buying new cars and buying lots. He said that he spent some money to hire a former policeman to serve as his security upon claiming his winnings.
