I don't blame them. Although it's nice to read the stories, I'd want to remain anonymous too. Florida insists that the names of all winners must be public information, but I wonder if a good lawyer could find a loophole. Even when claimed as a Trust or LLC, the names of the individuals are listed in the press releases. I'd hate my name to be announced in the newspaper. However, if I ever win millions, I guess I'll learn to suffer the consequences!

Regarding a pool, I think they're fine, but I... [ More ]

When you win millions of dollars it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that your lifestyle will change and some people will notice. People who know you, people who work with you.

It is going to be a lot harder for people to suddenly decide that they were part of the pool too, since they are anonymous. :)

I need to get that lawyer's name just incase.

This is very good on their part. EVERYONE who wins a jp should now know they could get a smart lawyer and remain anonymous. That's the way to go.

I don't think they allow it -- the winners kinda forced the issue by getting a smart lawyer.

However,I didn't know until now that Indiana winners could remain anonymous.All states should allow winners to remain anonymous if they so choose.
