The 82-year old winner of the $144 million Powerball lottery jackpot shunned the press conference and sent his lawyer intstead. From today's WP:
I don't know why every lottery winner doesn't do this. This guy set up a limited liability corporation, named Wilmot as the agent and never has to see his name in the papers. He can sit back and dispose of his money the way he likes. He'll be free of wheedling friends, lamprey relatives and importuning strangers. If he can keep his mouth shut and disguise the Lamborghini in the driveway, that is.
