Thanks, me too! Also, lucky for you that you're in a state that respects privacy for lottery winners!

I think it's only a matter of time when all states allow anonymity, but who knows how long it will take.

I've really considered only buying Mega Millions and Powerball when I'm able to cross into Oregon. That would definitely cut back on my lottery spending, so it could be a good thing.

I am a constituent from [City], Washington, asking you to support legislation that would allow lottery winners to keep their names and home addresses private from the general public,..

I want to change that portion for the letter example given. It's more clear on the first page on how supplying a name and city can lead to more information including home addresses...

The State Legislators are normal folks and may not know what is going on...

I'd also include other information f... [ More ]

Washington State Lottery Commission

Dear Commissioners,

Re: Support for Lottery Winner Privacy

We are writing to ask for your support in strengthening privacy protections for Washington Lottery winners.

With Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots reaching a billion dollars or more, winning a lottery prize can bring far more than financial security. Public disclosure of a winner s identity can expose them and their families to unwanted attention, scams, harassment, and potential sa... [ More ]
