Australian lottery winner accused of hiding win reaches deal with pool membersReply
Mr. Baron then insisted that he had won with a separate ticket not the tickets he purchased on behalf of the pool. If Baron can prove won he the jackpot on a ticket he purchased for himself, he should have told them when he found out he won instead of lying and telling them he inherited a large sum of money. Lottery records should indicate on which day and time the ticket was sold and if it was less than three days before, like he said, he has a huge legal problem. That month, the Supre

Can I be anonymous when I win in California?Reply
Looks like the winner did come forward to claim her prize. Emphasis below is mine. If anonimity is an option in Calif, why didnt they take it? Questions...questions... Family Claims $14 Million SuperLotto Plus Ticket Purchased in Los Angeles County SACRAMENTO We want the least amount of information released about our win as possible! So there you have it. This release will be brief, because the low-key family that won the $14 million SuperLotto Plus draw from February 7 wishes to rema

Texas legislature to consider lottery winner anonymity billReply
Do you know for an actual fact how deep the lottery actually goes to find out if fraud was committed, if someone has judgments etc etc, in other states, counties and whatnot? If someone was allowed to claim their prize under the guise of a trust wouldn't that also allow them to circumvent any judgments and so on? You forget one of the essential elements for getting caught committing fraud is that the person it is happening to would need to know. If you were able to stay anonymous then it's prett

UK couple tell of £53 million EuroMillions winReply
Richard Maxwell, a semi-retired consultant in the poultry industry, said he was helping builders move bricks for the garage work the couple are having done when he took a break on Wednesday to check their ticket on the website. From the store in the UK Guardian newspaper. So because Richard Maxwell is a consultant in the poultry industry, that means he is a, a chicken mass murderer . This comment at the end of the Guardian's article is crazy. This is why so many do

Lottery windfalls can buy anything except anonymityReply
^ Shakespeare and the murderer didn't know each other before he won the lotto. Shakespeare wasn't allowed to remain anonymous under Florida law, and the resulting publicity allowed the murderer to know who he was and target him. It's a crying shame that people have to die and get robbed etcetera - just because lottery commissions want to rake in more money, and misguided paranoids squawking about transparency are afraid the lottery commission and da gubbermint are going to conspire to ste

Bill would allow Texas Lottery winners to pay for anonymityReply
The lottery rules were made before they sold the first ticket and because the state legislators made the rules, transparency was one of them. When the lotto games began producing $1 million jackpot winners, they had to prove their was an actual winner and publishing the name and city of the winner with a picture of them holding a over sized check was how they did it. Those prizes were paid in instalments of $50,000 a year for 20 years before taxes so remaining anonymous wasn't that important

Finally registered and good to be hereReply
Thanx Artist77, I'm not even a regular PB player anymore. But I do have tix for the next few draws since I was passing through Delaware 3 weeks ago when the JP was in record territory and I was in anonymous territory. Now I'm wondering, has Delaware ever sold a JP ?

It's time the lottery needs to stop releasing a person name and picture when a big win is won!Reply
I never have seen anything about asking to remain anonymous in Texas, but I'll be the first to admit I don't know everything about doing that. I never have seen anything on the Texas Lottery site, though. I don't like being accused of being paranoid about govt. hijinks, but I couldn't deny being more than a little where shysters lawyers are concerned. I don't feel as though I'd be comfortable with giving one the power over my new-found fortune. I've said it before, but will repeat: I

I read that article shortly after it was published. Well, then that blows the water out of every argument that Texas doesn't allow for anonymous claiming then, huh? Not sure on the particulars, but I believe there is another lottery winner that's done the same here. That's what you should do if you ever win the lottery in Texas. Me? I'm saving my money and investing instead in a little sidearm security if I feel threatened. I'll also get a new phone number and will move, not simply because I'll

Oh, and I forgot this - you said it in another thread, too, but I looked and found one where the courts had ruled for and another where they had ruled against: The courts have upheld lottery privacy laws... There was this case Stone Street Capital, Inc. v. Bureau of State Lottery where one of those companies who buy lottery annuities wanted the information released to them. They lost their case, but it's interesting reading. Here's an article posted in here from a few yrs. ago about
