I would absolutely wear a disguise. Me and the fam were talking about that the other day.

Me and my brothr already decided we were going to dress up as hurricane looters. Like this guy

No, I was working at University Hospital of Ohio--but one of the pharmacists thought it was cool to have a pharmacist win a lottery prize and posted her pic for inspiration (as this pharmacist was in the same 8 person lottery pool that I was in) and I guarantee she was right--if they could have identified her--she would have been sued for any medical error or mistake that had been made at her hospital for the past 5 years.

She was a back up singer at the Union Plaza in Vegas before becoming Elvira. You're right, she looks nothing like that, she's a redhead. The Elvira look is two wigs.

I still think showing up for the press conference as Dr. Zaius from Planet of the Apes would be hilarious.

Remember last year, there was that Chinese guy who boarded a Canadian flight and he diguised himself as a Caucasian old man. I saw a picture of the mask and it was weird and cool at the same time. LOL

I have to find one of those masks and dress up like a little old lady. They'll be wracking their brains looking for her.

Why do people fret about such things? Win First...Worry Later

I wouldn't have that problem. People would think I'm already wearing a mask.

Make-up artist idea is a good one. better than a paper bag over your head.

This just reminded me of Elvira...Mistress of the Dark. Without the make-up and wig she looks totally different.

I think I would alter the way I look but not in a funky way.......i.e. I dress very casual so if I wore business attire and heels and slicked my hair back with some dark glasses HAHA nobody would guess it was me.

The Illinois winner was a female pharamacist, too...or were you in Illinoois at the time?

She said if some people knew she had won a jackpot they'd sue for malpractice, just for spite, this the disguise.

Make up artist--cool. A jackpot winning pharmacist, whose pic was posted in the pharmacy of the hospital at which I worked, claimed her prize in those half glasses, half shades that keep getting darker as the light increases, and a cheap dynel wig which makes everybody look slightly weird. Doesn't sound like a lot, but I guarantee you--unless you already knew what this lady looked like, you would never be able to identify her outside of the press conference.

A winner in Illinois hired make up artists to disguise her.

You can search LP. Several threads in the past have brought up that people have claimed their winnings that way. Search: Would you wear a disguise to your press conference

Wearing a disguise to claim lottery winnings. Is it allowed in Mega Millions & Powerball

vagirl — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 21:58:53 GMT

Hi everyone!!! Hope you guys enjoyed your weekend. Does anyone know if it is okay to wear a full face mask, or some other disguise like sunglasses, hats, scarfs, etc to collect the winnings of the Mega Millions or Powerball??? You know, like during the press conference. I've seen it happen overseas like in China and Israel but not here in America. When I win (God willing) I would want to stay anonymous and in my state of VA and even NC you can't claim winnings by a blind trust. Help, help, help... [ More ]
