Is it worth going to an anonymous state?Reply
As I said in another thread, screw people. I gave up the whole wanting to be anonymous thing years ago. Whoever wants to find you can anyway with some work. They did not seem to care about where I was during my hardships, so they shouldn't be caring after I win. If they do, that is their problem. I also have no family really, and I think it will all blow over sooner if you just face the music for 15 minutes and be done with it.People may then actually even think you are seeking fame, and even no

Oregon Powerball winners deny making demands for interviewsReply
If the winner is not going to collect under an anonymous trust, probably the best thing to do is submit to one print interview, be as boring as possible and end it there. But what is the purpose of most interviews with the rich and famous? Usually they are hustling a book, movie, CD, their brand name a la Trump or Martha Stewart or some type of money making product. No one except a lottery winner does interviews where the main question is how it feels to have all that money. A lottery winner a

Planning On Winning A Jackpot?Reply
I have a questionSuppose you claim your prize. It will take at least two weeks to get the full amount of money. But do they give you some of the money up front so that you can get out of town and rent a car, those type of things. And besides, during those two weeks you are waiting, couldn't someone try to convince the lottery to give them the money instead. Like, what if a greedy relative called up the lottery and tried to convince the lottery that he/she was authorized by you to take the mo

Jackpot Winner Anonymity poll...Reply
Why is it that every winner stands in front of the camera and smiles from ear to ear? Because they love the glory. It is not human nature to hide from glory. The ten minutes of fame concept has a reality. No one wants to remain anonymous, no matter what they say. They want to be famous. Unless they or rare introvert. There are no introverts on this site, it contradicts their being here. It is the same B.S. about wanting to remain normal. That is all about denial. Normal is winning a to

ALLEGED Powerball winner in seclusionReply
You go ahead and sign it that's your prerogative but people with family or pools should take note of the laws concerning signing the ticket. Cause once it's signed that's the way it's gonna be claimed. And doubt they can change it to another name or trust without going through some kind of court action.I already figured you were single, or head of household. You do know if you sign it you might have to stand before cameras and forgo your chance at remaining an unknown/anonymous pillar of your co

Remaining anonymous if you win jackpot?Reply
Good luck remaining anonymous if you hit the largest jackpot in history. They don't care about risking the individual, they care about media exposure. That all comes with the territory that is a Powerball winner. You have no one to blame but yourself for playing. I am sure that is what they assume. In fact I even asked the PA lottery if you could have a lawyer claim it for you via a trust fund, and as I said in another thread, they said only YOU can claim it, no other individual may claim it

Maddogs Mega Millions Challenge 10/4Reply
anonymous77,There use to be a pigskin challenge with a different set of rules and amount of numbers. Why not start your own anonymous challenge?

Powerball lottery millionaire fields marriage, investment proposalsReply
acronymn007.. i believe he wanted to remain anonymous, but the lottery commissioner told him that he could not. i guess his name had to be revealed. im thinkin from there he figured since his name was already out there, he may as well go on tv and talk about it. he was on the tv show The View. He donated $5000 to some babies that were on the show. but he seems really laid back.. kinda cool. wish i had that kind of loot
