E! Television to air 'Curse of the Lottery' SundayReply
Eventually some winner will give a lottery legal notice that this rule places them in harms way. Once that is done it would open the lottery up to very heavy financial damage should anything happen to the winner. The estate of a winner getting murdered over the prize would get more than what the prize was worth. It will only take one time for this to happen before all states allow anonymous claims especially of jackpot style games. Of course if the winner chooses to go on Operah that would be th

Calif. lotto winner remains hiddenReply
Why did the lottery announce his name? There should be a law against it. In the UK and Australia, if a lottery winner wishes to remain anonymous, he or she can, it's not a problem and most do. It's very unusual for lottery winners in Australian to go public.

Why It Is Important to Remain Anonymous.Reply
That's why most states release the names of the winner, so that the people will trust the lottery. State lotteries fear that if they don't have the public trust, that the people will not play and it will hurt sales. Remember, the lottery is a BUSINESS. But, the real question is, do states that allow anonymity generate more money in sales compared to states with comparable populations that do not grant anonymity? Furthermore, are people willing to travel to the anonymous states in an attempt

Why It Is Important to Remain Anonymous.Reply
I agree with your post rundown, but in some states it is impossible to remain completely anonymous. Especially if the jackpot is huge. There are ways to make yourself dull and not interesting during the interview, but your name is bound to come out if your state lottery does't allow anonymity.

Whittaker sued by casino over bad checksReply
I wasn't specifically referring to you Uff Da! Just any and all that think because someone mentions Christ or christianity in public automatically makes them a good person and above reproach. If he was truly filled with the spirit of Christ he would not have even mentioned anything about it in public and just did good works in the spirit while remaining as anonymous about it as he could. So many people wear their religion on their sleeve while not actually getting the spiritually uplifting essen

I won't be anonymous. I'll go on TV and tell the world Hey, I've got more money than you. And you're not getting a goddamn cent! Hahahahahaha! .

If you hit the jackpotReply
Given the choice, anyone who opted not to remain anonymous would be asking for grief, inviting it....and it would probably start with family, something like a brother or sister saying, Wondeful, now that we've won...

If you hit the jackpotReply
If I had the choice then yes I would remain anonymous. But if I couldn't, it wouldn't stop me from getting my prize if I won.

LP readers, read this online articleReply
Good find, rundown. But I think your sentence should read, Only three Powerball states allow winners to be completely anonymous under ALL circumstances whatsoever (Delaware, North Dakota, and Kansas). The article did not address the situation in Mega Million states nor in states that have state lotteries but are not associated with multi-state lotteries.

Food for thought regarding anonymity....Reply
Some states don't even allow trusts to claim tickets. I know both Oregon and BC, Canada, don't allow trusts to claim. Washington does. Of the three only WA allows anonymous claims as well. Not sure about the UK lottery but those four places are the only places I currently play.
