Say for instance you won 10 million USD in the lottery or won a lawsuit for an equal amount. Would you let your friends and family know about your newfound wealth or would you keep it to yourself? How would your lifestyle change?
I think that I would probably keep the news to my immediate family (meaning, my wife). I doubt we would tell anyone. I would like to think we would keep living much the same way, just without worrying about bills or finances too much.

If you ever find yourself in the position of winning millions in the lottery, see a lawyer before claiming your prize. Whatever information you provide while claiming your prize is publicly available information. The lottery commission will release your name and city to the media. Then it doesn't matter what you wanted to do, the cat is out of the bag. All you can do is have your lawyer draw up some legal entity to claim the prize in a way that your name isn't attached to it.
I really only see two possibilities - either tell everyone and then move far away, or tell nobody and keep your life as it is. There is no way you can tell everyone and not expect your life to become hell. It's been proven over and over.
