everyone is underestimating how bad it will feel to lose $19,900,000. the day you collect $100,000 will be one of the worst of your life.

If this is true, you've had a pretty awesome life.

Why do you assume I'll call everybody I know and make plans for the money but not actually double check the ticket? If it were me personally, I would have checked the numbers about 10 billion times (yay hyperbole) before I called anybody. Even if we somehow presume I misread the ticket that many times, I still would have reservations until I actually had the money in my hand. I think you are way off base in assuming everybody would treat the money as theirs prior to actually receiving it.
