Maryland Mega Millions winners claim prize anonymouslyReply
Anyone who cannot see the value in remaining anonymous as long as possible is the stupid one. I can guarantee in the entire history of lottery play there's not one winner who chose to remain unidentified and regretted it. There's plenty of stories that speak to the flip-side of that scenario. Nuff said.

To realistically believe that you are going to remain anonymous after winning the biggest lottery jackpot in history is a pipe dream at best. Unless you live absolutely the exact same lifestyle that you were living before and stay in your jobs, people will figure out who you are real fast. Hell the bank tellers at the bank will figure out who is who in a short time and leak that info for the right amount of money. And trust me, even though everything seems fine right now, I guarantee a lawsu

Truly, congrats to them! They did everything correct - copying the ticket, signing the back, going anonymous. Ironically, I almost bought tickets with 2 other friends - one of us is in our 20's, one is in our 30's, and the other is in their 40's - just like them! And we all have other jobs, in addition to the one we all work at. However, I was worried about buying us all tickets, while buying my own too. I didn't want what happened at McDonald's to happen to us. So I didn't approach them for

Kansas Mega Millions winner claims jackpot anonymouslyReply
Whoever the mystery person is who claimed a share of the largest-ever lottery prize on Monday, he or she wants to stay quiet about it. Maryland's lottery, however, has a flair for the dramatic, and promises to share the winner's storyline, if not name, at a press conference on Tuesday. The delay in coming forward allowed Baltimore's Mirlande Wilson to tell everyone she won, then ride the headlines for a whole week before doubt overshadowed her claim that she won but lost her ticket.

The anonymous Kansas winner will soon fade into obscurity as the media rushes back to the east coast to document the left pants pocket being checked. A press conference will be held afterward to disclose the time and location of the checking of the right pants pocket. It is not known at this point in time if the pants have back pockets or if and when they would be checked, given the hectic schedule of press briefings on the progress of the search.

glad you don't care what people think about you. you really believe if you won that sum of money your true friends wouldn't care if you shared some with them and would continue to lend you their garden tools. if your family treated you bad over the years there must be a reason. by all means remain anonymous if you can and move to idaho as soon as possible and make all new friends and start a new family. and invest your money so you can make more than you can possibly spend. remember money will c

fabre98, ...how else can family and friends go after them for a cut. that's half the fun of winning. Well you've shown yourself as a chooch and a mooch. That one statement is more than enough reason for people to remain anonymous.

are you kidding? everyone wants to know. who cares if the winner wants to remain not found out. someone will find out and tell. i would scream it from the rooftops if someone from a silent state won and i knew. what if every winner could remain anonymous. people would stop playing if no winners were ever revealed. that's half the fun for the losers. watching and waiting to see how some winners will squander it. why do most of you want to protect the winners. if you won you know someone would spi

Two couples from my home town won BIG in the POWERBALL (jackpots) Dec 31, 2003 oct 29, 2008, and as a PA citizen and neighbor to the winners , no one bothers them. Reckon its a respect thing we have here, beats any rules of NEEDING proof as they are proof that you can win big, walk in public and NOT be hounded , even when the media gets your name and home town. I think as someone suggested it can be optional. I have a hard time grasping other states mandating what the neighboring states

Looks like the KS winner was an own pick. When I win, I won't claim my jackpot anonymously because I can't. Staying anonymous is only good if you don't know how to say no to charities and people, are old, or plan to continue living in current residence. I wouldn't fall into any of those categories, so you can look forward to seeing my smiling face! When I win and before I make my move to warmer climate, destination unknown to all solicitors, any piece of mail I see addressed Jackpot Lottery
