If all the lotteries give all the winners anonymity, no state lottery would file stories. If a winner wants to contact the press with their lottery story it's their prerogative.

Choice or no choice makes not difference to me either or probably any winner wanting anonymity.

Congratulations Stu!

Of course nosy bones retired PICU employee tried to find out what kind of cancer he had X2. None of my business and couldn't find out---good. The medical side of me gets curious sometimes and he didn't volunteer this PHI! Regardless, stay healthy Stu.

Not saying something against anonymity, just saying if it was automatic we would never read these feel good stories.

Surviving the big C is major. Coming through on the other end with a jackpot win is sweeter than honey! Lightning struck twice for Stu it's extremely rewarding. Long may you live Stu.

* For those keeping score..it was another nasty QP.

MacDonald opted to take the bulk sum payment of $2.3 million, and after taxes took home $1.56 million.

The couple should clear around $1.3 million after additional federal taxes . . invested in VWEAX would presently yield around $5,700 monthly dividends before taxes.
