Bill would allow Texas Lottery winners to pay for anonymityReply
Remaining anonymous will mean the lottery won't give the winner's name to the media, but the store selling the ticket will get a bonus and making it possible to still find out the identity.

NC Powerball winner identifies herselfReply
26 years old, works at Walmart and has 4 kids. That money is as good as gone. After her friends, boyfriends and family, the church, lawyers and financial experts are done with her she'll be lucky if she has $50,000 left to her name when this is all done.

Three tickets to split massive $564 million Powerball jackpotReply
Also they interview the gas station employee and she made a comment about regretting not playing and she said that she hopes the winner remember her and givers a tip of at least half a million. I really hope the winner remains anonymous and doesn't go looking for fame.

$450 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot nears recordReply
The closest I have been to winning a jackpot was in 2003 when I matched 3 white balls and the red powerball and won $100. That ticket was a quick pick. With the odds of winning the powerball being 1 in 175,223,510, I honestly think that if I ever won the jackpot, it would be a quick pick.

$380 MILLION: Massive sales push Powerball jackpot higherReply
Whinging about taxes and media frenzy is something out of our control. How is it out of our control? Other countries allow winners to collect their prize anonymously and other countries don't collect tax on lottery winnings, so why not here in the US? If enough people care about being anonymous and not having to pay tax on the lottery we might be able to change things.

GET OUT THE VIOLIN: Florida woman grieving about $5 million lottery winReply
The Florida Lottery paid Blake $3,750,000 her winnings minus taxes and sent out a news release Thursday about her good fortune, though she pleaded with the agency to neither photograph her nor identify her. The photo is optional, but identification is not, Florida Lottery spokeswoman Shelly Gerteisen said. Florida should allow winners to remain anonymous.
