Is a trust or llc an option in your state? Check the pinned state list in the Jackpot topic. If yes, then you can possibly be anonymous

South Carolina woman gives away entire lottery prizeReply
Old habit that I have---reading into things. Since she stayed anonymous sounds like she cashed it in and then gave out the money??? Not sure about the gift tax on this one.

Bill granting limited lottery winner anonymity passes in Florida HouseReply
Here in Australia, all winners have the right to remain anonymous, very few winners go public. It goes back to the 1960s, when a lottery winner's son was kidnapped and killed, the right to anonymity was introduced after that. The vast majority agree with the right to anonymity, as they would like to have the same right, should they be so lucky.

VIDEO: Should you sign the back of your lottery ticket?Reply
I believe I read an article stating that their lawyer was able to claim as a lottery club and due to a grey area , they were able to keep it anonymous. They purchased an actual ticket. I wonder if someone who buys their tickets here in Michigan online if they are able to do the same after a big win since you have to set up your online account with all your personal info at the start.

VIDEO: Should you sign the back of your lottery ticket?Reply
There are ways around having to come forward when one wins a large lottery. One way around this, is to have a lawyer or someone with legal knowledge form some type of LLC company so, the lottery can be claimed under the company name. I am sure there are other ways as well. The lottery commission does not want people knowing about ways to stay anonymous because if everyone did it, people would start thinking no real people ever win the lottery.

Texas woman steals cousin's lottery ticket worth $1 millionReply
The Western Australia State Lottery, which is still owned and managed by the Western Australia State Government. Sadly, in the rest Australia, State Governments have sold off their lotteries to corporate lobbies. In Western Australia, the State Lottery has an App, which is a very convenient way to participate. Also, all prize money is tax-free and winners have the right to remain anonymous. US State Lotteries should look to Western Australia as an example of how to run a lottery.

Infamous lottery winner Michael Carroll remarries ex-wifeReply
Imagine if he managed his jackpot sensible. He could have quadrupled his win easily if he invested in property. In the UK, all lottery winners have the right to remain anonymous, all prize money is tax free and winners are offered independent, professional financial advice. Sadly, he refused to take any advice.

In China you can dress up as a character (panda bear, Mickey Mouse, dog, cat, etc.) to have your picture taken with the Big lottery check. Most stay anonymous. No problem.

Lottery Winners put on ,"Most Stupid Lottery Winners,"list but shouldn't have been on that list?Reply
Did you ever see the interview with Dee Dee? Maybe on Dateline. She was smiling ear to ear the entire time and had an anonymous handwritten letter claiming someone else did it. The reporter pointed out that the handwriting looked like hers. She should never be released from prison.
