$31 million lottery claimed by anonymous winner

BevsPicks2 - Did you take that the wrong way?  I don't understand your comment.   I was being facetious, which is why I used the emoticon.

Don't want to dwell on this,  but when you wrote "sheesh" I thought you were reacting to something you thought was a put down of people who live in RVs or mobile homes.  Anyone who has read my posts here knows I lived in a trailer park for many years and I hate the word "trash" referring to any human beings. 

*(unless they really are scum, which has nothing to do with income level) 

This should be an option in all winnings.  To verify eligibility to work in the US, the employer has to have two (2) documents on their list (The I-9).  is th I-9 information available to the public?  Do they need to know it.  Only Lotto OFficials need to verify that the winner was a legitimate entity.  I STill do not buy into the reasons states claim that the public needs to know name, city, stae of residence, etc.

there's no way i would spend that much on an RV, especially with the price of gas and only winning a 32 mil jackpot.

I agree with you, however it isn't my money to spend.  I think it is silly to win three hundred million dollars, and best enjoyment you you can come up with is a four-door pickup, or a tractor with brakes.  It makes you if some people make any plans to win, other then to win.  They appear have to idea of the value of money, or what it means.

On the other side of the fence.  When you win the lottery, or some other source of huge amounts of dollars, the bottom line is: do whatever you want, where ever you want.  There is no sense in winning millions and not making yourself happy as the number one goal.  Be it a used RV or three year-old pickup!  You win, you choose.  Spend it all if you want. Save it all if you want. Go half-and-half.  It is now your money. It belongs to no one else.  The rest are wishes and hopers. You have to gold. Make the rules! Just try not to personally injure or kill some one in the process.
