parents and other close family. I would not want lots of people to know and would still work part time.

I would call one of my dear friends, who is a CPA and a financial wizard. I would then try to figure out how to tell my mom without giving her a heart attack. She is 91, after all!!

Probably would then call our lawyers
I would not tell the kids or relatives right away till we decide exactly how to divide up the money.

For example, if we won a million dollars, we'd first give a portion to the church, then pay off our house/bills, then buy land and make plans for the "dream home", then take the kids to Hawaii for 2 weeks.

Tell them in Hawaii that each of them would get 100,000 BUT they would only get 10,000 a year for 10 yrs - that's it - what they do with their 10,000 is up to them (save or spend) but when they reached the 100,000, no more money

Heck, I would really weigh on telling B or not if I won significantly. One thing I've learned in life is that there are more people who think you can share your money with them with very little thought on your feelings or anything else.
