Who signs the back of the Mega ticket if you win and want to be anonymous?

Blind Trust sounds great on paper. Just way too much power for in most cases a total stranger. If a single winner wins this world record jackpot, I don't think a trust is going to stop someone from gettting the story of who won...It could actually blow up in your face and bring even more attention to the person. I think I would go the disguise and name change route if I'm lucky enough to be the only winner...The less people involved in controlling the jackpot the better imop.

I read an FAQ in one state's site that says you can sign the ticket over to someone else after it has been signed. Sounds like something for you, the lottery, a lawyer, and a notary to figure out.

I plan on doing the same but would never have an unsigned ticket.

Good luck.

I can't help but dream about winning the largest Mega ever, but yet I keep thinking it would be great, but I would want to remain anonymous! I have been searching the internet today and find that claiming the prize via blind trust would give you privacy, but who signs the ticket?

I have read many articles that say to sign your ticket to verify ownership, but by doing so, are you now not able to collect the jackpot using a blind trust?

I would appreciate anyone's thoughts on this
