Texas trust claims second half $1.8 billion Powerball lottery jackpotReply
I have a question. Did the winner have to form a trust to claim the prize? I thought Texas allowed winners to remain anonymous. What are the benefits of using a trust in this instance?

If You Won BIG, Would You Perform Risk Management?Reply
My top concern after winning a large amount would be security for myself and my family. Securing the finances is important, obviously, but I'd be nervous every time somebody left the house because of the kidnapping risk. No anonymous claiming in my state, so your name's going to show up on the radar of literally a bunch of people you'd rather never meet.

$1.8 billion Powerball jackpot to be split by two tickets sold in Missouri and TexasReply
I was in a no tax state today that lets players stay anonymous so I bought a single line for MM for 10 draws which is as far out as they sell them and got the 10x multiplier. I'm marking that in the good luck column.

$1.3 BILLION: Powerball jackpot soars to 5th-largest in game historyReply
From what I've found in my research, there are only two states, WY and TX, that allow a winner to remain BOTH anonymous and pay no state taxes. That's the best of both worlds.

North Carolina lottery winners of $5 million and more could remain anonymousReply
Publishing the identity of lottery winners is putting a target on their back. Thankfully, State Lotteries in Australia allow winners to remain anonymous. Graeme Thorne was an eight year old Australian boy, who was kidnapped and murdered in 1960. A month before the kidnapping, his parents, Bazil and Freda Thorne, who lived in a modest rented flat in the Sydney beachside suburb of Bondi, had won 100,000 in the newly conceived Opera House Lottery, designed to raise money for the constructio

LOTTERY POST 25TH ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY #2Reply
Lottery wins over a million, I would stay anonymous. Invest a portion. Make some home improvements, take a vacation and a cruise with family. Help out a few family and friends with a small donation only (don't want them catching onto me winning the lottery)

New Jersey couple discovered $1 million Mega Millions lottery ticket sat in drawer for five monthsReply
I believe it is the lottery that reports the story when someone goes in to claim their prize. The lottery asks the winner the story behind them finding out they have won, then asks if they would like to go public with their name or remain anonymous

If you won a huge jackpot...Reply
I work in the corporate world which I don't like so I would definitely leave my job in a heartbeat so the next person can have it. I would also try to remain anonymous if could and wouldn't share with my coworkers that I hit the jackpot. If I was in a serious profession such as a doctor or lawyer I may delay leaving but for a regular 9-5 corporate job I would run out of there and never look back!
