Georgia Gov. signs bill allowing lottery winners to remain anonymousReply
https://www.myajc.com/news/state--regional-govt--politics/georgia-senate-passes-bill-that-would-give-lottery-winners-anonymity/wnqchQKdVSwS7jYNIcInlK/ This is the only article I could find on that up to 4% surcharge that was initially introduced. The last paragraph does state that the senate added an amendment to the bill that would NOT require a winner to pay for any costs affiliated with anonymity. Sounds like they have some concern about winners privacy.They set the privacy starting at

Georgia Gov. signs bill allowing lottery winners to remain anonymousReply
Australia and other entities that allow winners to remain anonymous don't have a problem with it nor do you hear about any scandals or cheating. Just my @.02 here but I find it incredible that people here at LP think that allowing anonymity would invite cheating yet some of those very same people believe there is actually someone representing as think tank tank is an actual person. CDanaT, Thanks for the insight and points well made. I'm in a rural area and a few years back someone ne

$502 MILLION: Mega Millions grows to 10th-largest lottery jackpot of all timeReply
music*, Not sure if you know but noise-gate is in California. OK, let's say a California winner happens to be a Korean from Arirang Town (little Korea) in LA........Mr Lee, you can start looking for him in LA at Olympic and Vermont. There's a place in Seoul called Sorak mountain. The Koreans have a joke that if you go to the top of the mountain and throw a rock down on to the street you're going to hit a Park, Kim, Lee, or a Chung in the head. (very few of what we call last names).

Georgia group fights to prevent lottery winners from claiming anonymouslyReply
Anonymity only affects the publicity about the winner. That's why I said IF the winner could claim anonymously, Tipton's buddies or his NY Lawyer would have got the check. I suppose there are many definitions of anonymous , but there is a huge difference in nobody will know the name and not publishing the name of the winner . Is there anything about that that's hard to understand? Apparently lots of people here discussing claiming anonymously have never filled out a lottery claim fo

Georgia bill would allow lottery winners to remain anonymous — for a priceReply
HA! Good one. In most states the winners pay taxes on their winnings! If Georgia makes winners pay taxes on the winnings then they shouldn't double tax them to remain anonymous. I don't know what the GA tax rate is but if it is 5% then the tax on a $10,000,000 win is $500,000 and that should easily be way more than enough to simply not release the winners information.

Georgia group fights to prevent lottery winners from claiming anonymouslyReply
That young man being killed is a perfect example of why winnings should be anonymous! If it's the guy I'm thinking of he's a perfect example of why you should be careful who you hang out with, or who you tell about winning. The majority of winners who have been victimized have been their own worst enemies, and were victimized by people who already knew them and found out about the lottery winnings right from the horse's mouth. Eddie Tipton ... could have easily collected based on this G

What all lottery players should know if they win nearly $1B Mega Millions, Powerball jackpotsReply
Is anyone going to seriously lose the ticket? Yes, people have lost winning tickets before, but that is usually a week or so after the drawing they hear someone locally won, so they go digging for it. For this amount I am sure everyone will check the next morning. The lottery will pay the name on the line, if it is your name, it's not anonymous (except for states that allow it). Scan/copy/photo it, put it in a safety deposit box. Give the copy to the lawyer, if he needs to see it befo

District of ColumbiaReply
I live in VA but buy my tickets in DC. In VA, you cannot claim via a trust and they post winner pics everywhere. In DC, you can claim via a trust. The last pb winner in DC claimed via a trust around 2009. MD is best for playing since it is an anonymous winner state. Part of northern VA was originally a part of DC a long time ago. If you buy in DC but live in another state, DC gets the state taxes. If DC'S rate is higher, you do not pay the same tax or any to your state. Last time I checked
