$1.35 billion Mega Millions lottery winner suing mother of his child for revealing win to familyReply
This case may show us exactly the level of anonymity one gets with a major lottery win. I assume lottery officials must be bound by some sort of employment agreement for lottery winners. The IRS knows. But what about others who had no legal right to know? I would be furious as well. As others have mentioned, make up a story about an inheritance.

Strategy for remaining anonymousReply
Yes, many people can't keep their mouths shut, or can't resist blowing a bunch of money right away, or don't know how to set boundaries on what others know about their finances. But some of us can and do keep a win private. And once you figure out how to keep the lottery from releasing your name, it's not that hard. You just have to keep your mouth shut, and control your spending for a short time. I'm willing to make some sacrifices for a year or two in order to reap the benefits of living pe
