Press releases, for one.

I know some states say that the back of the ticket, which must be signed to collect a jackpot, is an agreement to a press release, but what if a person from a state that lets you remain anonymous wins in a state that doesn't.

So, the non-anonymous state releases the story to the newspapers in that state - the papaers on the person's home state pick up the story on a wire service- but, according to the rules of the home state, they wanted to remain anonymous.

Now... [ More ]

I assume the rules would be enforced by the Lottery of the state where the game was played. Why would where you live make a difference

Sorry if this has been discused already (couldn't find it if so), but regarding reamining anonymous - what if someone from a state that allows you to remain anonymous goes to another state to play PB or MM and hits a jackpot?

What rules would that come under, the state where the ticket was purchased, or the person's home state
