[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember to recall a winner of D.C. lottery hired an attorney to collect the check and the winner was able to remain anonymous (I believe if you really want to know the names, you need to write a letter to the lottery and request a name?)[/quote]

I don't think that's true, or that's what all the winners would do. It depends on where you BUY the ticket - not where you live. So they may have purchased the ticket in Maryland, but lived in DC, and were allowed to remain anonymous because of the MD purchase. It's one of the few good things about Maryland  :D

I'd say it's smart of her to come forward right away (since she's required to do so in Mass), so that speculation doesn't linger. The sooner she came forward, the sooner hype would die down. [/quote]

It's true, you create a trust and have the trustee collect the money, you remain anonymous. That was this woman's first mistake, she'll be broke in five years. Not all people have the brains to wait and seek advice.[/quote]

FFS people, if she bought the ticket in Massachusetts she is NOT ALLOWED TO CLAIM ITHE MONEY ANONYMOUSLY. The Lottery there is paying you, and one of the terms of the payment is that you function as a walking, talking advertisement for the Lottery.[/quote]

Geeze......do a google search if you don't believe it. You can create a trust, the ticket becomes property of the trust. You can remain anonymous if you have any brains and a clue about how to deal with money.[/quote]

Again, this is not possible in every state that you purchase a ticket. The state has an agreement with the lottery commission that a winner MUST come forth publicly and agree to things like a press conference. This is the law in most states. There are a few states were you are allowed to remain anonymous. But the blind trust thing is not allowed in every state, in order to receive your winnings. Each state law is different.

It's amazing how many dingdongs are all "but I'd do it differently" yet have no clue about the rules of different states w/ lottery commissions. [/quote]
