15 New Jersey "Night of Millionaires" Powerball winners claim prizes of $1 million and moreReply
From a conversation I once had with a New Jersey Lottery official, winners aren't obligated to share their story or plans. Instead, the impression I got is that some winners will freely volunteer info about their experience like a hey, why not? sort of thing since they figure they can remain anonymous under state law anyway. The Lottery sure doesn't mind!

Two Canadian lotteries change privacy policies to hide winner's last names in press releasesReply
I get that lotteries want to assure the public that real people are actually winning but I see no reason why they can't set up an independent commission to verify all winners so that people can be anonymous. This day and age all you need is a name and you can go knock on the person's door. So I like that these two lotteries at least are hiding last names although if their pictures are posted that is another vulnerability

South Dakota trust claims $78 million Lotto Texas jackpot days before it expiresReply
I thought Trusts were not allowed? Last time I checked it had to be a natural person and not an entity even if anonymous. The state of the win controls so they now allowed a trust from the home of the winner for a second time. This does create an extra layer of anonymity. Interesting. I am wondering if other anonymous states would allow this as well. This is a new strategy to me. AI Overview A South Dakota trust can be based in Texas by separating the legal situs (governance) fr

The 15 anonymous winners who have come forward so far have disclosed a variety of ways they plan on using the winnings, from buying a home to paying off debts to covering medical expenses. Does a winner have to tell the Jersey lottery their particular story or plans for the using the money when claiming a big prize? If I was ever so lucky, they wouldn't get much out of me should they be brazen enough to ask me my story. It'd be nothing but one word answers from me. Hell, I might even t

South Dakota trust claims $78 million Lotto Texas jackpot days before it expiresReply
i think the secrecy is to deter scammers. there are just too many out there these days. Scammers are one reason to (try to) remain anonymous. People you already know are often another good reason. People who think your net worth is fairly typical tend not to pester you for large handouts, but a lot of us have a relative or acquaintance who would want a piece of the pie if they knew it was a multi-million dollar pie. Keeping the wealth secret tends to be a lot harder than just claiming anony
