Can a NYC resident remain anonymous from the public??
Hey everyone! I'm a newbie here but a long time lurker. I've a few questions to ask about public anonymity. As a NYC resident, I have yet to hear of an anonymous NY winner. Every winner's revealed to the public. No matter how much they've won. So I've decided to finally read the rules and regulations on the NY lottery website.

Setting a trust for anonymity: how does it work?Reply
JRCa...here is what I have observed having followed the California Lottery fairly closely for the past few years.

I don't see a whole lot of 'ridicule' here about remaining anonymous, just difference of opinions. Reading this board

Why It Is Important to Remain Anonymous.Reply
When others say "remain anonymous," they don't necessarily mean the money can be claimed without your name ever being released. In some states, mine(Louisiana) being one of them, the Lottery allows prizes to be claimed not only be individuals but by trusts and corporations. If your state allows this, it could be considered "remaining anonymous." Even though data for who is part of a corporation, LLC, etc. is often public record, it can provide some level of anomymity. Alot of people don'
