New Zealand man who lost his job during lockdown wins $10 million Lotto jackpotReply
Every time someone or some article mentions anonymous winner we get to read about countries with national lotteries that are tax free. I guess it's really difficult for them to understand the U.S. has no national lottery and why Federal taxes are deducted. Even after many posts explaining that. The only thing relevant not paying taxes is some states have no state taxes and some with a state tax don't tax lottery winnings. We'll cross the no Federal taxes on lottery winnings if we ever get a N

Michigan Lottery has few options to stop players who spend millionsNews Story
In June 2017, Viktor Gjonaj walked into a sleepy retail strip on Dequindre Road in Sterling Heights. He wasn't heading for the massage parlor, or the small Indian and Pakistani grocery store or restaurant or the hair salon. Instead, he went into the Michigan Lottery claim center at the northern edge of Sherwood Plaza.

The world may never know who won a $202 million lottery jackpotReply
I just think of what my high school Business teacher said way back in '74...your rights end where my nose begins. I don't live in an anonymous state and a couple, if that many, folks went through a trust to get their money. The newspaper went through FOIA and posted the name(s) anyway. Sorry, not buying your argument. If I don't want my name/photograph plastered, that is my right.

Nebraska weighing anonymity for lottery winnersReply
I don't know if it's true or not, but I've been told that you can get a lawyer to claim your money for you, if you want to keep yourself anonymous. Personally, anything over $50K, I'd definitely hire a lawyer.
