NJ lottery winners might soon be able to stay anonymousReply
Amen Joe. There's a good reason why lotto winners are claiming their jackpot wins by hiring lawyers who put it in a blind trust to claim anonymously. Only an idiot would wanna reveal his/her name after winning big.

Blind trust to stay anonymousReply
One of the best things you can do to make sure you've got a lawyer who's going to look out for your interests is to find one that tells you that a blind trust is not what you want.

Interesting info re: TrustsReply
If a lottery allows you to claim via a trust, they do not care what type of trust it is. There is no reason I can see for an irrevocable blind trust unless you are an elected official or are incompetent at managing your own finances and not capable of consulting experts.

A look behind the scenes at Hoosier Lottery drawingsReply
If you call a blind trust anonymous---which I do, then yes, big winners in Indiana have done this through an Attorney. I think one of them did what I'm going to do when I win---claim it through a LLC.

$191 million Louisiana Powerball lottery winner claims prizeReply
I guess things are different down in Louisiana (at least, I hope they are, for their sake; hope their attorney's up to snuff). Here in Washington State, the only way to shield the names of entity members would be to do a blind trust, as partnership documents (including names of members) are listed online.

TN Powerball Winners on the Today ShowReply
I wish them the best! Hopefully they are really lawyers that work for the person who really won and they are just claiming the ticket for a blind trust. Nah, seriously, I hope nothing but good for them. I don't agree with what they did but I do hope the best for them.

$800 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot approaches billion-dollar rangeReply
You're joking 45.07%? I only have to pay the 39.6%, if anyone wins let me turn in the tix under a contract by you that your lawyer will draw up. Money goes into a blind trust. Let me get to keep 50% of the 39+ mill that will go straight to uncle sam if you turn in the tix yourself. That way I get the publicity too so you don't have to deal with it. BOOM haha

Signing TicketsReply
Yeah, did that but didn't find any definite answers, or no clear answers, it was much easier to get the answer straight from the horses mouth (ie Ohio State Lottery Commission). I don't play in other states, so I haven't bothered with them. Essentially, my question was if my friend signs the ticket, can we still do a blind trust to protect both our identities, and you can't really get a straight answer on that one using google. Again, it is all about getting it from the horses mouth.
