In 1999, a waitress named Tonda Lynn Dickerson was tipped a lottery ticket and won $10 million. She was sued by her co-workers for their share. Then she was sued by the customer who tipped her the ticket. Then she was sued by the IRS and almost kidnapped by her ex.

True, but it usually plays out like this:

Don’t tell anyone about your new “fortune” except your Instagram followers.

Pretend you’ve been getting more and more into car culture. Trade in your 2009 Honda Covic for a 2017 Camaro. Slowly modify it until it’s a full-blown Pikachu-themed hotrod. Slowly add stickers that highlight your Instagram handle, then your up-and-coming YouTube channel. Remind strangers to like and subscribe, maybe even submit comment.

Say you don’t really enjoy working at for the small but loyal HVAC company anymore. Slowly reveal to your friends that you’re making enough money from your YouTube channel to supplement your income. Ignore the haters when they mention that your most viewed video has 789 views. They don’t know how YouTube channels work anyhow.

Take that trip to Atlanta you’ve always dreamed about. No one will question it. Ever.
