$366.7 million Powerball jackpot won in VermontReply
Vermont lets winners claim via trust, the name of which is public. If the winner chooses a nondescript name or a red herring name, they can probably stay anonymous. I would name mine Three Optometrists since I'm not in a group of three and not an optometrist.

Accusations of "disturbing" new claims procedures after Allwyn sends investigator to winner's homeReply

Nice to hear of a lottery winner who made all the right moves. Move out of state, remain anonymous, don't say yes to all family requests for money. No big spending and she has an great financial advisor. Great story and congrats to her.

Single mother who won $6 million in lottery opens up about the good and bad of winning millionsReply
I wonder how many friends she lost and how many suddenly close cousins quit calling after she told them no money? I would stay anonymous if at all possible, but the above is one good reason to go public. You sure find out who your real friends are!
