Just saw that they claimed. Wow. One QP netted about 190 million dollars after taxes. I can't imagine what that must have been like scanning the ticket and seeing 800,000,000 pop up. I'd probably frame it.

It says they chose to remain anonymous but FL only allows for 90 days which I guess is better than nothing. You can use the 90 days to set up the blind trust or LLC so you end up anonymous anyways. But I'm image they'd have set it up before claiming. Wait? No. They claimed it already so if there was a trust or LLC set up it would have had to have been before they claimed to get the anonymous status. You can't do it after you claim it. I mean you can set up trusts after but...

So then what do you do with the 90 days? You won't have to do anything if you claim it in a trust. If you don't use a trust then...a legal name change takes more than 90 days and no guarantee a judge will seal the record. I don't know what you are supposed to do in the 90 days after you claim that you can't do before you claim the ticket. But you have 90 days to figure every thing out.
