7 arrested in Georgia Lottery winner's murderReply
It is terrible, but sadly I am not surprised. Publicly attracts trouble, all state lotteries should allow winners the option to remain anonymous. Even strong-willed can feel enormous pressure to help family and friends. While it can start reasonable at first, it can deteriorate. Many winners have gone broke helping other. State governments should address this issue or we will see more such cases.

Mississippi lawmakers take first steps to create state lotteryReply
A hope Mississippi introduces a state lottery, for people who wish to support a state lottery, keeping the revenue from flowing to other state lotteries. Mississippi's proposed lottery should give winners the option to remain anonymous. Mississippi could also raise additional revenue by offering a subscription service across the country, as is the case with the Massachusetts Lottery.

Where are the winners?Reply
Maybe they live in states that allow winners to remain anonymous? Maryland is among six states in which winners' identities may be kept private. Its rules allows wary winners to hide their faces behind oversized checks and to use creative monikers instead of names in promotional photos posted on the lottery agency's website. A Frederick couple, Kathryn and Ricardo, opted to keep their last names hidden when they won $1 million in the Jan. 13 Powerball drawing featuring a record $1.58

Giving a tipReply
I totally agree with you on that! Although I have never dealt with any clerk expecting a tip. Maybe some of them were expecting a tip and I didn't notice the signs or hints they were giving out lol. What I do know is this: Friends, family, co-workers and even acquaintances WILL TOTALLY EXPECT something. I don't know why they feel they have a right to any money you've won, but they do. I don't ever feel like someone that has won something SHOULD give me some of it. One of the main reasons I go

WV Lottery officials oppose jackpot anonymity billNews Story
The times of the big lottery check presentations may soon come to an end in West Virginia. Winners of big jackpots would no longer have to make required public appearances to claim those prizes if a bill that's moving at the State Capitol becomes law. The West Virginia Lottery is opposing the bill because of what John Myers, acting director of the Lottery, called an expectation of transparency among players. They want to know that, when we tell them that there's a grand prize winner, t

19-year-old shot over winning Kentucky lottery ticketReply
State laws should give people the right to remain anonymous. You're so obsessed with lottery anonymity, you apply it to everything even when it's unrelated. It also shows ignorance of collecting lottery winnings. Apparently the robber didn't know he couldn't easily cash a ticket signed by some else either. The KY Lottery and the store clerk didn't identify the ticket holder, the crook was standing behind him in line. For cashing prizes over $600, the KY lottery has Cashing Agents in each

Florida couple claims share of historic $1.6 billion Powerball jackpotReply
Firstly, congratulations to the winners! Secondly, these people look a little spooked about revealing their identities. I don't know why there cannot be an anonymous way to collect your winnings in EVERY State. As long as your win is confirmed by three separate lottery officials (or whomever) and an independent auditor, you shouldn't have to reveal your identity. I understand the lottery wanting to promote their transparency and the lottery itself, but c'mon...at the possible risk of the winn
