Well, I could answer that… “My parents worked multiple jobs to keep us fed and clothed, and when we had a bit extra money they might buy a lottery ticket. We always talked about what we would do if we won and the places we would go. But we never dreamed we actually would. X years ago we did, my parents retired, shared some of the profit with me, and I work to keep my brain active.” There are states in which the winners can claim the prize anonymously. Or I could answer that “My mom is a trial lawyer, and my dad has a successful private investigation firm. As a child I grew up learning how to do a thorough background search through publicly available records, and within five minutes I can find out enough about you to write a detailed CV and tell you how much you’re worth in (your currency). Do you want to time me?”

This is tricky but fun.

I definitely agree with this. A lot of people like talking about themselves and offering advice. Turn the questions back on them, show interest, just listen, smile, nod, and offer brief answers. I am a good listener and very private

So true
