noise-gate, With the help that our Lottery Post Members have written I will do the following.

Claim my prize and only giving the District Lottery Office my name, city, lump sum and the location of the retailer. I will not do the media availability nor the photo celebrity.

Thanks LP Members

That is sooooooooo funny!

That's the way I'm going to collect mine when I win the big one or send my new kitty cat to get it for me

Music, be careful when airing your lottery plans in the forum. You unwittingly entered the octagon.You weren't looking for a caged match, were you

My plans do change with the ever increasing jackpot size. Such as leaving Fresno, CA for a secluded destination the same day of claiming. My lottery dreams.

Will the Lottery Offices be open the day after July 4,? Friday the 5th? I will google that.

You can celebrate without involving the world.

The Lottery is a Worldwide Industry dealing in trillions of dollars. Why not celebrate?

When you win enough to have security you can take calculated risks.

Of course I will be experiencing life changing events from the time I get the check.

I understand that the media will become bored with my little life story and will find a new shiny penny to follow.

I can feel for those who claim the next day. They are the ones living pay check to pay check. They need the money yesterday. I

Some people want that type of attention. I guess if you never had any accomplishment in your life and/or very low self-esteem, you might view this as your look at me day. Kind of sad actually.

If given the option to remain anonymous and a winner doesn't take it I'd guess that their main motivation for not doing so is being an attention whore monger. Just my $.02 but why oh why would someone blow their chance to remain anonymous

So many stories ? I've only read of a couple of UK winners who came forward when they did not have to and only one had regrets. Others outed themselves and got a lot of negative press, but that was because of what they were doing w/ their new found fortune.

How many deaths were caused by full press events? You have spoken several times about WANTING to do a press conference even after I and many others told you there was zero upside to doing them. AFAIK, only a few states require the press... [ More ]

Same in the U.K. If given the choice between one or the other, I'd opt for tax-free. If you win $100 million cash value on a lottery, you could surely buy plenty of security for much less than $37 million bucks.

Congratulations to the winner of $140,000,000.00

These are the size of jackpots that I play to win. I would be a one percenter.

Can you even imagine how your life will change

In Australian State Lotteries, winners have the right to remain anonymous. The vast majority choose to remain anonymous. Also, all prize money is tax-free.

One of the many disadvantage of publicity of lottery winners' identity is, some media outlets will reprint your story when they are reporting subsequent lottery stories. As happened in the above article.

Congrats to the winner.

All the US states with lotteries that do no allow winners to remain anonymous and talk about the importance of transparency need to read this until it sinks in.

Camelot said it had a duty of care to protect the anonymity of all National Lottery winners and that it would not release further details about the ticket holder's claim.

Now just get the Italian Lottery won so Powerball can be #1 in the world for highest jackpot.

Staying Anonymous as much as possible is the way to go. Especially when you win big!

There are so many stories of past winners who had wished they claimed anonymity. Now they are constantly being begged for help from strangers.

How many more deaths will it take to change the States that require a full press event?

Being forced to go into hiding should not come with winning the lottery.

New safeguards can be invented which will protect the game from illegal actions. Spend some of
