Is it possible to remain anonymous in NJ through a trust or attorney?Reply
You can create a blind trust anywhere. A blind trust is a legal entity and for the most part any legal entity can own property, whether it's stocks and bonds, real eastate or lottery tickets. The only real quetion is what information the state will release to the public. Every legal entity, whether it's a trust (of any sort), a corporation, or an individual has the name of at least one person associated with it. For a blind trust the trustee is the legal owner. I would assume that unless the l

Appeal of reality show for BIG winner?
What would the appeal be for the public to watch or read about a new winner turning his ticket in and then be followed for the next few months or even years? Showing family,shopping,travel, lawyers,financial planing,drama,etc. I not asking for a debate on the issues for remaining anonymous. It would take a special individual with a plan of some sort to want to do this. Would you watch Jim Cramer of Mad Money fame do a show with the winner? Would you read MONEY magazine if they had a monthly

What about New York State, does anybody know what the laws are for remaining anonymous? I've looked all over the internet and the official NY lottery site and can't find any information. I'm assuming that it being NY anonymity isn't allowed but what about blind trusts? A few years back I recall reading that another way to avoid having your name released was to setup a corporation and cash it in that way. A few states out west supposedly allow individuals to do that for this purpose.

Why it is important to remain anonymousReply
i too wouldnt remain anonymous. in fact, i wouldnt move or change a thing. if someone wants trouble, they have come to the right place. i would install a state of the art security system is about as far as i would go to making changes. i would say NO as often as it took and would gladly run people off my property or wouldnt hesitate to insult them on the phone if it was a plea for money. as far as my familys safety, well i would have security and possible bodyguards. i would continue to live as

Believe it or not, NJ is actually one of the best states for lottery winners, because there is no state tax on lottery prizes, only Federal. With regard to your first question about being anonymous, NJ even allows people to search for winners by zip code. There is absolutely no privacy in NJ if you're a big winner. The best thing to do would be to move.

As far as I know its not possible to remain anonymous in NJ. NJ wont let a blind trust claim a jackpot and wont allow the winner to claim anonymously in any other way. You cant just make up a list of people you want to share the winnings with at the time you claim. You can share the winnings with your spouse without a problem, but sharing with anyone else will require you to produce evidence that you had pooled your money to buy tickets and you would also have to show how much each pla

$267 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot soarsReply
Yes, if and when I win, I will be like Brad Duke...I'll come forward and claim it myself. Well, I might decline to appear on the morning talk shows, but even if I subsequently decided to appear on them, I would view it as being no different than Bill Gates or Warren Buffett making a public appearance...everybody knows that they are loaded with cash...and everybody knows that they aren't going to get a personal loan from them either. Same thing would apply with me. But I am happy for all wi
