Do Canadian lottery winners have to right to remain anonymous? Australian lottery winners have the right and the vast majority do so.

Too bad their pictures are plastered everywhere.

Here it is not an anonymous state, and as far as pictures being posted it stopped end of July 2022. I'm banned from FB until 22 DEC 22, but after out of FB will send my question to the Kentucky Lottery if not found in their rules and regulations which I'll do now.

Congratulations again Vera

WOW...two Canadians in a row winning big.

Part of both stories that concerns me and someone else commented too that the clerks @ both stores had to check the tickets.

Perhaps thought wrong that the kiosk in the hallway Caesars Windsor had a scanner to check tickets yourself. Can't find the picture me yours truly standing there to clear this up

If she is familiar with terms like validating a ticket, she might be a lp member. Most players would not use that term. She is a savvy player.

This is one of my all time favorite lottery stories.

*Trevor did not pick up the phone when she called, but was the first one to rush to her apartment to validate her winning ticket.

*Way to go Trevor...

She is too cute. Glad she won!! Congratulations!

My granny used to play when PB was $1 and would win her $1 back about 50% of the time.

Ontario woman doesn't let anything get in the way of her weekly lottery purchase

By Kate Northrop

An 83-year-old woman was not about to lose out on an opportunity to participate in the Lotto Max draw on Nov. 1 for $60 million (US$44.8 million) which she ended up winning.

Vera Page, of Vankleek Hill, would not have bought her usual lottery tickets had she abided by the retirement home's rescheduled trip to the grocery store and subsequently would not have won the $60 million Lotto Max... [ More ]
