Record Powerball jackpot won by 1 ticket
A blind trust would prevent the winner from knowing how their money was being invested by the trustee. People talk about ways to remain anonymous, but I really believe most of us would take the chance of our names being known rather than not knowing how our $222 million after tax winnings are being invested.
The winner can form a regular trust but their name will be published. With this amount of money if the winner wants to spread it among his family members, a trust would be a very good ...

Mega Millions multi-state lottery to get harder to win in Oct.
When all states allow winners to remain anonymous some clod will want a press conference.
I'm a clod who wants a press conference.

Record Powerball jackpot won by 1 ticket
Sadly, Florida winners are not allowed to remain anonymous. I hope that rule is amended soon.

They should really claim through a trust.
I don't know how claiming through a trust would benefit the Florida winner or winners in terms of protecting their identity.
Can Lottery winners remain anonymous?
No. Florida Lottery winners cannot remain anonymous. Florida law mandates that the Florida Lottery provide the winner's name, city of residence, game won, date won and amount won to any third party who requests the information; however Florida Lottery winners' home addresses and te ...

How Long Will You Wait to Collect the Jackpot
I would wait about a month. Here in California unfortunately they have to release the winners name. I have kept a copy of an article from the Ca Lottery website about 3 years ago where the people who won the Super Lotto Plus were able to remain anonymous and didn't have to release their names. It's not like it just changed recently where Ca winners names have to be released. For people who know more about this than I do, how were they able to remain anonymous? I kept the article so I win I can s ...

$360 MILLION: Powerball jackpot raised on huge sales
If the winner doesn't have a fast moving terminal disease, why can't they wait 3 weeks to ensure a smooth and less stressful transition?
Ever hear somebody talk about wanting to buy something that's very cheap, but they have to wait until they get their next paycheck? I'm figuring that the majority of people who talk about claiming immediately have very little in savings, lousy credit, and have very little opportunity to indulge themselves. I can't imagine any other reason to want to rush t ...

$360 MILLION: Powerball jackpot raised on huge sales
Another thought I had in regards to Jill's post is if you live in a state when you can remain anonymous when claiming I don't see a neccessity to move ASAP.
But I totally agree with taking several weeks--or longer--to get things in order.

if you had the power to change certain things to the MM/ PB jackpots- what would they be?
I like the guy who said to have all jackpot winners be totally anonymous. That I think is the MOST important thing. Otherwise you have reporters and people calling your phone every hour of the day.

Do any of you buy your tickets online?
I was wondering the other day what the highest prize those services have paid out. As I understand it they don't actually buy the numbers, so they I suppose they could have had a jackpot winnter, in which case that winner was probably the most anonymous lottery jackpot winner ever.
