If you are claiming via a trust, you would write the name of the trust in the NAME: line on the back of the ticket, followed by your address/phone number.In PA the following is public domain...NAME, HOMETOWN (Not address), Game Won, Amount Won, Date Won.Phone Number is NOT public domain and they would be clowns to publish that and not expect a backlash.If you have the trust ready, you put the name of the trust... this is what will get announced. Heck, you can give it a misleading name like the

I asked the same question (about who can sign the ticket) here:https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/97495.htmOne poster said a signature won't become public record, but no one has confirmed or clarified this- whether or not you can safely sign the ticket with your personal signature and not risk your name becoming public record. Anyone know for sure

I wonder, for how many winners, do they really succeed at hiding...Mr Winner has been at work for so may years, suddenly he quits...Or suddenly mr Neighbor is at home all the time now and sells his junker and buys a new mercedes...While I wouldn't advertise myself, I wouldn't fool myself that I could really hide...Perhaps I could stay on the move...Or where I would I really like to go to...

Lets see if any of the other employees sue on the grounds they were a member of the pool but did not put money in the pot for that drawing.

No state tax on lottery winnings-another reason to choose CASH.

Delaware anonymity option is the right way for a lottery to offer a jackpot. Let the recipient decide! ahh...the joys of anonymity. I surely wish more states allowed it.
