what if two winners won the lotteryReply
Both winners are completely seperate (assuming different tickets, not splitting one) so if they were able to remain anonymous, there would be no problem with one going that route, and the other staying public.

what to do when you win the lottery?Reply
I know what you mean on that one....IF one was to close their eyes...and emagine they have just won the jp, they would naturally start thinking about things they have never been able to buy, but can now...or how to plan out their finances etc. That itself does not scare me...its the walking out of the headquarters a millionaire and possibly having every paranoid thought rush through my head...is it just me?

N.Y. lottery winner and tenant fight thiefReply
This crime would support recent discussion about allowing lottery winners to remain anonymous! Lottery officials should feel really bad when they hear about this stuff happening.

Judge rules Washington lottery winners can't be anonymousReply
I guess the winners in that article were smarter in their approach. Instead of fighting to claim the prize normally and stay anonymous, the people in the article you linked to formed a corporation and had the corporation claim the prize. Those people did not waste tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees trying to fight the system. They worked within the system to achieve their goal.

Judge rules Washington lottery winners can't be anonymousReply
What really stinks is the challenge to privacy laws. In Michigan we can remain anonymous for state lottery winnings, but not Megamillions. It would be a shame if someone challenged the Michigan rules (or other states) using this Washington case as precedent.

Judge rules Washington lottery winners can't be anonymousReply
This couple did the same thing I'd have done had I won - try to pull off anonymity and hope it works. In my former communications with the lottery office, though they mentioned the open records law, they also held out that slim chance that one might be able to get a court order to prevent the release of names in some circumstances.

Judge rules Washington lottery winners can't be anonymousReply
If something happens to this family because of the lottery win (harassment,kidnapping,etc.),the judge should be held personaly responsible.I don't care what the law says,people that win a lottery should be allowed to remain anonymous if they so choose.

can you still remain anonymous if...Reply
I don't think so .... signing the ticket identifies the signer as the sole winner. Best to wait until you have spoken with an attorney to remain anonymous you might have to form a trust and give it a name that doesn't identify you.

International super lottery to create jackpots of $500 million or moreReply
I would like to participate in an international lottery - they could call it GLOBALBALL. Will the winners be allowed to remain anonymous, as in the UK and Australia, or be required to go public as in many US lotteries? I do hope they will be given the choice.
