I still thinK they were crazy to go public! In the UK, lottery winners have the right to remain anonymous! If I won a lotter and the lottery rules allowed me to remain anonymous, I would accept the prize in private and get on with life.

Canadian lottery winner fighting to remain anonymousReply
Coin Toss mentioned many times about how a huge effort to remain anonymous could result in even more publicity. In the U.S., because of the Freedom of Information Act, he can't file an anonymous lawsuit. despite a clear statement by the British Columbia Lottery Corp. (BCLC) that anyone buying a ticket must allow their name and photo to be published before collecting a prize. I guess he didn't read the back of the ticket.

States that offer winners the choice of anonymityReply
IF I WIN THE JACKPOT, DO I HAVE THE OPTION OF REMAINING ANONYMOUS? Jackpot winners are given the option of participating in a press conference. Many of our past jackpot winners have enjoyed this opportunity, and it usually eliminates receiving multiple calls from the media. The Arizona Lottery is required to release the winner s name, city of residence, game, and amount won upon request, so total anonymity is not possible. We ask each winner, no matter the amount, for a quote about t

UK couple tell of £53 million EuroMillions winReply
One of the most important decisions for new winners to make is whether to opt to go public or remain anonymous. If a winner decides to talk publicly about their win, Camelot s PR team will organise a press conference and handle all media interest on their behalf, removing the anxiety that can accompany talking about a big win. If they have requested to remain anonymous, Camelot takes its obligations and duty of care to protect winners privacy very seriously. Unless a winner agrees to tak

Bill would allow N.C. lottery winners to remain anonymousReply
States as New York, Florida and California would never risk losing a penny of the huge revenues the lottery contributes to the state coffers by implementing such a measure. It might make the smaller states more attractive to play in. States as Delaware rarely produce winners so the public won't be slapped in the face with anonymous winner.... anonymous winner. We all witnessed the extent to which lottery staff went to when they partnered with the media to expose Gloria when she won that huge

5 Star Rating SystemReply
Here is the thing, and I have thought this from the very first implementation of the 5 star system. It should be anonymous. You would get a much truer representation of the threats. Every post I have seen is either 5 stars or none. Why? Because if someone doesn't find it as useful they will not give it any rating at all the way is stands now. If you gave a rating of less than perfect then you have to deal with the drama of Why did Dead_Aim give this a 3 or 4 star instead of a 5? . Making you loo

More big Lottery winners using trusts to stay anonymousReply
The entity MANAGING the trust can be found out fairly easily, but it's not nearly so easy to find out the name of the person the trust was established for. It usually takes a court order to identify them. None of these anonymous lottery winners with trusts had been identified in Texas as of the date of this article: http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Trust-keeps-24-million-jackpot-winner-anonymous-3848371.php

More big Lottery winners using trusts to stay anonymous
When the time came to claim the largest jackpot ever on a Massachusetts scratch ticket, it wasn t the person who bought the ticket who showed up for the $15 million prize. Instead, the two smiling men holding an oversized check and scratch ticket in the photo taken in July at Lottery headquarters in Braintree are a lawyer and an accountant. The actual winner s name was not disclosed to the public or even to Lottery officials. That s because the winner, or winners, formed a legal trust to c
