There are plenty of loopholes and techniques that a lawyer could use to protect your money in the event of a civil lawsuit against you. While physical threats are far more terrifying, you're far far far more likely to lose it from civil actions against you by everyone you ever met.

Change will happen when reality hits like when a baby is kidnapped and killed for ransom. The kidnappers want the Jackpot money.

Actually this occurred in Australia way back in the 1960's. Australia, Canada, and the U.K. all went to anonymous claiming soon after.

I will use the LP Search box and see if the story is there.

Well....thank you for the correct name of the Lawyer. However, State Law in WI wouldn't do this guy any good about protecting his Identity.

You'd think that with all of the horror stories out there, WI would take steps to help or assist winners in protecting their identity, but...no.

So, what COULD Jason Kurland do for this winner in this situation? My guess is...not much.

The story is true, but the names have been changed to protect the innocent

Wow. No offense, but it's quite surprising to see people spend so long on a forum and yet post so little.

This is very unique to Lottery Post.

The Lawyer's name is Jason Kurland.

A poster in this thread called Jason Kurland Joshua . He is but one of millions of lawyers who are able to help jackpot winners.

Hi Artist!

What other states do you have on your chart? OH I know is an anonymous state, same with SC and DE, and MD...

But what about PA, IN, KY, TN....or even that one state where the media shot down efforts to make winners anonymity a thing...

Thanks in advance...

I have been working on a chart for all the states.

Here is what I have for Wisconsin.

Not anonymous/cannot be claimed by other entities. The original winning ticket must be signed by a single human being. For-profit and non-profit entities, trusts, and other non-human beings are not eligible to play or claim a prize. Source: https://wilottery.com/claimprize.aspx

So trusts are not a option regardless of the counsel you hire.

So.... Here's what I want to know....

Can the winner in WI claim through a Trust or LLC...meaning: the Name of the Trust or LLC is put on the Back of the Ticket?

I live in a non-anon state, and I am concerned about that particular rule, when it comes to claiming.

If their Identity is spread out by the Lottery (as per the rules they put down to insure that Real People REALLY DO WIN )

then, that winner is basically a target by all the wolves and yahoos out there.

TheMeatman2005,

I sure hope so, I'm not getting any younger.

Just one million would do it for me (realizing that taxes woud be taken out).

This drawing could have had 700+ one-million dollar winners.

So, 700+ people might have bought a decent house, and car.

When I lived in Ohio I'd have no problem agreeing that a Great Lake state would win the PB jackpot as would anyone living in any of the 8 great lake states that includes New York. Are the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers considered a large body of water

The winner/s have 180 days to claim. Should the winner/s get their ducks all lined up before claiming? Can they remain in hiding until claiming? Congratulations to whoever won

Am glad that it went over the advertised amount of $750 million; sometimes it doesn't quite get to the amount they say.

Time to go to the store and cash out my $24...

Comment #16

noise-gate — Thu, 28 Mar 2019 14:07:47 GMT

That's not a bad amount to keep after paying all your taxes TMM, even if you waged $100.00. That PB was one sweet ride.

The State of Wisconsin will collect its 7.65% state tax of $36,482,850 if the winner(s) take the lump sum cash value.

The IRS will collect up to 37%. That comes to $176,453,000

After taxes, the ticket holder will keep about $264 mil

WTG New Berlin, WI

California did better than Powerplay winners this time around!

Just found two regular purchased tickets with #12 on them, each one worth $12 added to my big loss of $36 on-line so up to $60 in winnings. Better than nothing I suppose.

Lottery Post — Thu, 28 Mar 2019 12:03:46 GMT

By Todd Northrop

One Powerball lottery ticket sold in Wisconsin won the third-largest lottery prize in U.S. history on Wednesday night.

The lucky numbers for the $768.4 million jackpot were 16, 20, 37, 44, and 62, with Powerball number 12. The Power Play multiplier was 3. The top prize surged from an estimated $750 million due to strong ticket sales.

The lump sum payout is $476.9 million.

The winning ticket was sold in New Berlin, a city of about 40,000 people roughly 14 miles (22.5
