EuroMillions lottery winners to share £115 million prize with family and friendsReply
Congratulations to the lucky couple! However, they were very unwise to agree to being publicly identified, as they had the right to remain anonymous. They will be inundated with requests for assistance from complete strangers, not to mention relatives. Also, the media will republish their story, with photographs, whenever the lottery is in the news.

Connecticut Lottery considering switch to computerized drawingsReply
States that don't allow winners to remain anonymous but yet stop televising their drawings on TV are highly suspicious. The people have a right to know . Oh yeah? Shame on you for even thinking it Connecticut.

Man finds $86 million lottery ticket in his carReply
Congratulations to the lucky couple. What a fantastic Christmas present, and tax-free too. However, they made a huge mistakes in going public. The UK National Lottery allows winners to remain anonymous, they should have taken that option. Hopefully, they will be strong enough to resist all the letters begging for assistance.

NY Gov Cuomo vetoes bill that would have allowed lottery jackpot winners to remain anonymousReply
. Even better: they should be able to remain anonymous for any winning amount, unless they enrolled in a subscription, and then only the IRS. Mr Groppo

Jackpots and the Media InterestReply
The States that offer a winner anonymity are leaders who will be followed. Especially when a tragedy happens to a winner in a non-anonymous State. We all hope that winners will be safe. I believe that Illinois is a must do a press interview State. The couple who won in Red Bud, IL did the press interview. Texas is the latest State to pass a law granting anonymity to winners of a million or more dollars.

South Carolina's billion dollar mega millions ticketReply
I don't think winners should be anonymous, in general, though it seems to be an unpopular opinion here. Secrecy allows corruption to thrive. Unfortunately, making winners' names public records is one of the best ways (if not the best way) to ensure the integrity of the lottery. If you don't want your name out there as an overnight multi-millionaire, don't play the big jackpot games. At the same time, I'm very glad for the winners who have the option to claim anonymously. I know I would take a

Homeless man dives into dumpster to retrieve lottery ticket worth $4.82MReply
Doesn't telling a story about dumpster diving at a news conference defeat the purpose of remaining anonymous? Do you really need any more information to understand what you call quotes are from a spokesman for the Michigan Lottery? Where do you suppose the story came from? Do you think the lottery just made it up? It's either that or the story came from the guy himself. The exact route from him to the articles we've seen isn't really important. And assuming you understand what quotation mar

By Todd Northrop A homeless Michigan man who realized he won the state's Lotto 47 game dived into a dumpster to retrieve the winning ticket.
