If you won either the MM/PB JP: How soon would you claim your prize?Reply
I'd have to to set up trusts and take care of some issues for estate and such. But if there was a way to stay anonymous I would take that option I don't want anyone to know how much money I have it's none of their business to be honest.

Record Powerball jackpot won by 1 ticketReply
A blind trust would prevent the winner from knowing how their money was being invested by the trustee. People talk about ways to remain anonymous, but I really believe most of us would take the chance of our names being known rather than not knowing how our $222 million after tax winnings are being invested. The winner can form a regular trust but their name will be published. With this amount of money if the winner wants to spread it among his family members, a trust would be a very good

Mega Millions multi-state lottery to get harder to win in Oct.Reply
When all states allow winners to remain anonymous some clod will want a press conference. I'm a clod who wants a press conference.

$360 MILLION: Powerball jackpot raised on huge salesReply
Another thought I had in regards to Jill's post is if you live in a state when you can remain anonymous when claiming I don't see a neccessity to move ASAP. But I totally agree with taking several weeks--or longer--to get things in order.

EuroMillions lottery winners to build unusual homeReply
I don't understand why they went public in the first place. The UK lottery allows winners the remain anonymous. Judging from how they are spending their new-found wealth, it will soon be frittered away, and then people won't bother them anymore.

Have you won a big JP?Reply
From what I've read, the majority of active LP members want to remain anonymous so I doubt they would want to go into detail about their jackpot win. I sort of doubt a poll would produce 100% honest answers either. We had a member claim they won $1 million in a raffle by purchasing their ticket on the last day, but none of the $1 million winning tickets were sold on the last day. When that was pointed out, they never posted a follow-up explanation. But there is no harm in asking or starting a

is anyone making an income from lotteryReply
You're confused, Cajun mentioned a casino site, not a Gamblers Anonymous site. Some people just don't get it and you're apparently one of them. Casino players aren't interested in the comments by non-casino players just like lottery players aren't interested in comments by non-lottery players.

Would you remain Anonymous or have a Press Conference after winning the Jackpot?Reply
I'm playing in Kansas, which allows you to remain anonymous ... so nobody would know that I won. As much as I would like to, I wouldn't even tell the few people that I would like to rub it in theit faces, because I know that in reality, it would be best if **NOBODY** knows about it.

Hey I believe in rejoicing with people not rolling my eyes in disgust wishing they would fail. I am truly happy for this family.

For the people that may try to invade their homes and cars at gun point to rob them. I get why the lottery dont want people to remain anonymous,but I dont like it! when I win I am wearing a disguise and I wont purchase things in my bir

$320 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot goes through the roofReply
In NJ you cannot currently be anonymous, although that will be changing soon: https://www.lotterypost.com/news/258629 Maybe the winner should just wait for it to become law before claiming the prize.
