Compiling lists of states and claiming rules/anonymous, etc. Please add.Reply
Very interesting Lotto Lucy. I have always mentioned I thought 2 trusts would be needed but those trusts were not blind trusts and the article ones are regular trusts, unless I missed something. A blind trust just allows someone else to manage and make decisions about your money and you have no control so I would not recommend one for a lottery win. You do not need a blind trust. One trust to allow the counsel to represent and claim and another one to deposit it. The Ohio people are wrong about

Compiling lists of states and claiming rules/anonymous, etc. Please add.Reply
I think Michigan is #5. Michigan only games like their lotto game can be claimed anonymously but if you win a multi-state game like Powerball there is no anonymity. The Ohio lottery has told me you can only claim their lottery anonymously if you claimed with a blind trust. Here is a recent article written by an attorney who represented a winner. I m not 100% sure if what he did is considered a blind trust or not: https://www.altickcorwin.com/Articles/How-To-Claim-Lottery-Winnings-Anonymo

Lengthy but interesting article. If nothing else scroll down to the chart with the different states and tax rates. Except for Montana they all should have copied Nevada. https://thesouthern.com/news/local/state-and-regional/how-illinois-bet-on-video-gambling-and-lost/article_c54fc60a-a47f-50f9-be05-40f97efcc5b2.html#tracking-source=home-top-story-1

I think that RJ may have posted consecutive numbers, probably for Ohio, but I'm not sure. Here are a few things from a quick Google search. A 2014 article in the Guardian (UK) estimates that every week 10,000 people played 1,2,3,4,5,6 in the UK national lottery. It also notes the Bulgarian Lottery, with the same 1 in 13,983,816 odds having the same numbers come up on 9/6 and 9/10 back in 2009. In March 2011 the winning numbers for Florida's Fantasy Five were 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, producing 4

Lottery articles just tend to be inaccurate
This is from an article about the Mega Millions jackpot being 321 million on Christmas day 2018 The only states that don't offer Mega Millions are Alaska, Nevada, Utah, Mississippi and Alabama, according to the game's website. Hello........Hawaii or haven't you got word that it is a state. https://www.news-leader.com/story/news/nation/2018/12/22/mega-millions-drawing-christmas-day-321-million-jackpot/2400136002/

How would you receive your winnings?Reply
You could get a stamp that says Return to idiot that sent this and put it right back in the outgoing mail slot. Better than ending up like the folks in this article. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/personalfinance/disappointing-stories-reveal-what-its-really-like-to-win-the-lottery/ar-BBRgG96?ocid=spartandhp#image=8

Hypothetical: A mysterious stranger at a convenience store...Reply
sully16, A newspaper, maybe a tabloid, ran an article about jackpot winners having drank orange beverages before playing their ticket. Artist, The Millionaire was circa 1950s I think maybe early 60s. You're right, it was a neat premise.
