Winning the Lotto

I dreamed that I won the lottery.  I figured out a way to tell my wife by asking her to check the numbers against what the lottery website said were the winning numbers.  After a long time she didn't respond via text as I had hoped for and I ended up just calling her instead.

Since the lottery winnings were significant, we tried to decide whether to wait until all the press died down or just bite the bullet and claim it right then and there.

What would you do?
