This is one of the links to the topic you asked about. Personally if you ever do hit hire and attorney who works with trust funds sit down with him and go over every detail of the trust. Plan for your future. One of the other posters might have more links to the topic. the search engine is in the top right hand corner of this page. You have to enter the key words and click the feilds you wish to search. https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/78047

Don't play in groups without a written agreement and a Federal Employer's ldentiftcation Number (for tax purposes). Remember, if your understanding is not in writing, your dream-come-true could become your worst nightmare.Most lotteries payout each jackpot to only one individual or entity. If you claim all the money, the lottery reports only your Social Security Number to the IRS and only you must pay all the federal income taxes due. If you distribute the winnings among group members, you are a... [ More ]

Charities will glad accept donations for $10-$20. And if you did win the lottery, you could still claim anonymously and still help people at the same time.

What happens is you sign your ticket in the name of the trust. THis is why it is a good idea to get a name in mind beforehand and use your address, they can only publish hometown, NOT street address... put this info on the ticket IMMEDIATELY because an unsigned ticket is a HOT ticket, anyone can take it and cash it in if unsigned... Safety deposit box is the way to go until you are ready to have a lawyer cash it in. That becomes the public domain info. I agree about getting an established law fi... [ More ]

Even with a trust, the lottery people has to have your details. Name, SS#, etc. But this is not public info, so they don't release it. Have your lawyer handle the lottery people, You are going to have to trust somebody at some point, unless you get your winnings and put it under your mattress. Go to a well known law firm and set everything up with them. Most of the time the lottery wires your winnings to a special account if it's a large amount.

Hey thanks a lot of the detailed explamnation Hyper. You are indeed the man!With regards to your answer to the first question, I do like the part where the lawyer does not have to know that the trust is for colecting the winning of a lottery ticket.So what do I have to really do once I set up the trust and if I won the lottery?When I go and claim the prize, what do I tell the lottery officials? Assuming my trust in now called, say, Apple and Orange Trust, what do I tell them?Won't they ask me fo... [ More ]
