4 - Million Dollar Prize Winners with PowerPlay from Last Night's PB in Puerto Rico?Reply
Of the four tickets, three were purchased in one location, one automatic/quick pick and two with manually chosen numbers. It is not know if the same person made the purchases. The ticket at the other location was an automatic/quick pick. The business owner says that a Dominican national probably bought the ticket since 90% of his customers are from the Dominican Republic. Article says that after a 20% tax, winners will receive $1.6 million per ticket. Winners in Puerto Rico may stay anonym

FOUR $2 mil Powerball winning tickets sold in Puerto Rico. Do you think...Reply
Yeah. A few years ago a man in Arizona won six $1 million prizes. For some reason he chose to make three separate trips to the lottery office to claim his prizes. On YouTube there is a Virginia lottery video Chesterfield Man Wins $3 Million in Mega Millions Drawing! The man bought five tickets and won $3,001,000 playing birth dates. Full-time Puerto Rico residents do not pay any tax on Powerball winnings because it is considered income earned outside of/off the island. Winners in Puerto Rico

$83M Mega Millions jackpot claimed in GeorgiaReply
How does the process of verifying and remaining anonymous work? Do you walk into lottery headquarters, ask to verify the ticket, refuse your name, take back the ticket and leave? In California as soon as there is a major win, lottery officials seize surveillance footage from the store where the ticket was purchased. In 2012, California lottery released the photo of a couple that they thought had won a $52 million jackpot a month earlier, because Bladimir and Marita Agnite of Fremont had kept

Man arrested in lottery winner kidnappingReply
Illinoisdreamer, The next time you go play take a real good look at the monitor where they sell tickets. The winner's first name and amount won are there for all to see. Illinois used to post full name and town but people contacted the Illinois lottery and asked them not to be responsible for another Abraham Shakespeare. Every player in Illinois should boycott the lottery and send a message, no allowing winners to remain anonymous, no ticket sales. But that will never happen, too bad.

Lottery ticket worth $1,000 dropped in Salvation Army kettleNews Story
The winning Pennsylvania Lottery ticket, worth $1,000, was slipped into the Salvation Army red kettle, tucked inside a wad of $1 bills. No one knew it at the time. The anonymous donation, made Dec. 6 outside the Walmart in Harborcreek Township, 5741 Buffalo Road, had the appearance of any other donation. But the timing of the generous gift could not have been better for the Erie County Salvation Army, as the agency's kettle drive continues to struggle once again through a holiday season

Illinois couple claim $134 million Mega Millions lottery jackpotReply
Good for them. From the OP and this is news to me; The Illinois Lottery respected the winners' request for minimal publicity by not publishing their names or the names of the towns where they grew up. Not exactly anonymous but better than nothing. Most wins are put on the monitors by the lottery sales counter and everyone in the state that plays lotto sees your name and picture. They used to show first and last names before Abraham Shakespeare got killed.

Why it is important to remain anonymous...Reply
The examples I gave was address the issues of anonymity, not their ability to obtain financial advice. I'm just saying that many high-profile, visible, and wealthy people can't be anonymous even if they wanted to, but don't seem too bothered by it. Don't get me wrong--if I win a big jackpot, I would prefer to claim anonymously (but that's not possible in California) and would want as few people to know about it as possible. But I won't be changing my name, wearing disguises, live like a rich

Robinson's buy 6.2 Million $ home on 320 acrea in TNReply
From the Official Tenn Lottery page under faqs: Can the winner of a large Lottery prize remain anonymous? It is the policy of the Tennessee Lottery to treat such information as a public record. The Lottery will therefore disclose the name, home state and home town of winners if a request is received for such information.

What will you wear...?Reply
Desperate times call for desperate measures. I so wish that California could adopt the anonymous label for lottery winners but the Powers that be say they only identify the store where the ticket was purchased the name of the winner. It's for transparency- they say. I personally don't like their idea of transparency. If l am a winner, it should be my decision as to whether l want the world to know how l am. I am not afraid of the press or the cameras: l have been told that I am very photogeni

Lucky for LifeReply
I feel almost the same way about the big odds/JP games, but I will buy one on occasion when the JP is in record territory and I'm in anonymous territory. They are losing players w/ each matrix change, or should I say they are changing regular players into occasional players !
