Another lottery winner goes brokeReply
This guy's problems aren't the result of the state requiring his identity to be revealed. There was an article about him in Playboy a couple of years ago. IIRC, he found out he had won very shortly after the drawing and began making calls immediately to start telling people. He would never have taken advantage of the chance to remain anonymous. Ultimately, he was a loser before he bought the ticket and he was just a rich loser after he won.

Another lottery winner goes brokeReply
That may be true rundown, but the guy still went on tv and had other problems going on in his life. (like overspending and drugs) I don't think being anonymous would have kept this guy out of trouble.

Winning Mega Millions lottery ticket sold in CincinnatiReply
Don't worry if they are an idiot they will provide plenty of enertainment. If they run the talk show circuit instead of trying to remain anonymous that's a good indicator that they are starting their downwards spiral at a nice clip.

Winning a lottery jackpot can't guarantee happinessReply
You can tell yourself that the ticket won't loose but odds are it will. The reason all the stories are about failures winning the lottery is that they are more entertaining and it fits the presses preconcieved notions about lottery winners. Stories of anonymous winners living quietly off interest don't sell or fit the presses agenda.

I really don't think you can hide or be anonymous to family and friends, which seems to be where the trouble is. It's easy to say no way' to a stranger, a little harder when someone you know is in need or claims they are in need. The key is being decisive and tough minded about what you will do and won't do with the money and sticking to your guns.

About 18 years ago a local man won an Illinois lottery jackpot, about 2.8 million,which spread out over 20 years was about $140,000 a year. Not great, but an okay sum of money. He tried his best to remain anonymous, because he was already going through bankruptcy proceedings and was trying to finish it up before he claimed the money so that he wouldn't have to pay his debts. The only person other than family that he told was their priest, who promptly gossiped it to the whole community. Somebody

I think they should be able to keep it anonymous....I feel for the man whose child support doubled..now how is he going to pay it..he only won $100,000.00 and when u r paying child support, that is not much..the 100,000.00 lein on his house makes no sense to me..he must have been behind in his payments..he would have been better off just giving all of the winnings to his kids.
