Lead balloon or good idea?
Hey lottery directors...... With all the controversy over letting winners remain anonymous or not, how about an option on the play slip, NP, No Publicity like Australia. Since the lotteries are incessantly looking for more revenue, maybe a nominal surcharge (there's the lead balloon) for it. Sure, people will kvetch about it but I think it would be money extremely well spent, all things considered. Just a thought.

Pennsylvania $457 million jackpot winners kept anonymousReply
I actually prefer big winners having their basic identity revealed eventually, just because it helps to show that the whole thing isn't rigged. Some Ma Pa nobodies from a small rural town, as well as some people struggling in impoverished urban environments, and so on, should be winning sometimes, and I like to see that. I do think though that winners should be given some months after claiming their winning, before their identity and story is revealed. They should be given time to make decisions

$422 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot is red hotReply
No posts forever? That is a long time. You could change your mind later on. Keep anonymous? Most States require the winner to go public. Do you realize that your lawyer, financial planner, and accountant could let your secret slip?

How much of your face can you hide during the lottery interview?
It's for me and other people that are curious on how to stay anonymous by going public. I know that the grandma that won the 1 billion dollar powerball wore sunglasses. A lot of people wore hats. How bout a face mask? Can we just hang the face mask on our chin, instead of fully covering it.

$1.5 million lottery ticket spent five weeks on the fridgeReply
You can't beat tax free. Plus you have the sane policy of remaining anonymous. By the way, I enjoy the Insight videos I view on YouTube. Jenny Brokie is an excellent Host. The Windfall program is my favorite. Plus I like many others.

NY lottery winner plans to sue Gaming Commission to keep his $5M winnings a secretReply
Todd, There's already a follow-up to this story from the NY lottery on the NY Post website. They seem to want to hold their ground. Next thing you know there will be a disclaimer printed on the back of all lottery tickets in non-anonymous states saying basically you agree to our terms or nt moola.

NY lottery winner plans to sue Gaming Commission to keep his $5M winnings a secretReply
Back on March 12th of this year DELotteryPlyr said, Pandora's box has been opened - watch who sues next to get the state to change the rules after the fact . His point was made under the article where the Judge ruled that the $560 Million Powerball winner could remain anonymous. Not even 90 days... Nice call DELotteryPlyr
