Being female, I am not sure I could get away with drawing a goatee on my face....but then maybe I could. 
My last name is also uncommon, but my home, utilities, cell phones, etc are all still in my married name. So maybe I found a reason to keep those things in my old name....  ..........................

I've got to give the guy credit for trying, myself. But it's not worth the trouble if they know your name, age and location! Congratulations anyway, Mr. Perez.  According to your faith be it unto you. ---Matt. 14: 31

I find it totally ludicrous that the NY lottery dose not allow winners to remain anonymous. State lotteries in Australia allow winners to remain anonymous, it is very unusual for Australian winners to go public.

Glad someone won it and it seems like the guy has some common sense.
As to a disguise- Im going the Bag lady route. Find a flithy trench coat, rat out the hair, blacken the teeth and wear old army boots! No guy would want me and surely no lady would care to invite me to tea. Which is fine by me! The funny thing is....I have a name that is so often confused as being of the asian persuasion yet I am not. Maybe a kabuki dance disguise would really throw folks off!  kindness is a small gesture accepted by another

Aww thanks Time treat! How kind.
The only reason I said that is some guys are gold diggers and Id do my best to discourage those kind by being less then desirable to the eye :) (not to generalize and say that guys are that way-dont wanna start a debate on that issue) kindness is a small gesture accepted by another

Eh, give me a hat, wig with matching beard, sun glasses, different clothes from what I ususally wear, something that'd be the opposite of what I would wear and I'd be all set, with a little altering of my voice for good measure. I'd pretty much create a character out of it with a little fun with the questions. Too bad it wouldn't matter at all in my area if my name were to get released. >_> It would keep away most people who have no idea who I am. Unless the state wouldn't allow it, jerks. With odds like 1 in 175,711,536 how can I lose?!
You can't predict random.

I wonder what the LC would do if I showed up to collect my big jackpot and was dressed in a clown costume? Life is short. So PAY ATTENTION !

They'll give you that great big check, and then laugh when you try to take it to the bank in your tiny little clown car.
