is it safe for Thai lottery winners to appear in public? as far as I know, most winners in the west refuse to be mentioned by name let alone be interviewed and appear in public, often they hide the money in a bank account and continue working for a while and don't tell anyone until arrangements are made to "disappear" seamlessly into a better life.
hope she can make the best of her good luck.

Some do not even claim the prize for weeks (it has to be claimed within 6 months and they are paid interest on the amount from the momentit is won) while, presumably they adjust to the situation/make plans to quietly "disappear"
I think I would claim the money immediately-but be very quiet about the whole thing-I have told nobody locally about my magnificent £100 /TBT 5000 win last month even!
