1. No 2. No 3. No 4. Not at all happy 5. No The Australian Lottery really should be the model for all U.S. lotteries. There have been posts here on LP from members in Australia that winning are tax free- the price of a ticket is $1.03 AUSD, the .03 pays the taxes, and most everybody claims anonymopusly.

Not "mentally ready", lottery winner waits six months to claim jackpotReply
At least he can remain anonymous as all lottery winners can in Australia, if he won an America state lottery, he would be paraded in front of the media. I could handle a jackpot win, but I definitely would not be mentally ready for publicity. That is why, I believe it is not just wrong, but very dangerous for winners to require them to go public.

Would you wear a disguise to your press conference?Reply
rundown99 I'm with ThatScaryChick on this. If it was that easy, and you knew you were going to hit, I think moving to Australia would be the answer, from everything I've read here on LP. Anonymous and tax free, what more could we ask.

Tax-Free and Anonymity
US state lotteries could learn from the Aussies, all lottery prize money is tax-free in Australia and winners can remain anonymous, which most do. Also, if you win $53 million, you get $53 million, they don't have any annuity nonsense. That's what America needs - TRUTH IN JACKPOTS!

Two winners to share record A$106 million Australian lotteryReply
These are colloquial terms used in Australia and also in Britain. It's kind of annoying that news media in those countries use these kinds of terms, but that's how they tend to write. The use many informal (colloquial) phrases that one might hear on the street there, but which are not proper terms. A punter is a gambler. A battler is someone who always tries to do the right thing, but ends up making a fool of himself.

Two winners to share record A$106 million Australian lotteryReply
