SC, OH, DE, MD, KS, ND, and WY. Those states will allow you to remain anonymous. TX, CO, MA, VT, CT will allow you to remain anonymous if claimed through a trust. There may be more. However, those are the ones I know of. I do a lot of research since I travel to these states a lot and have bought tickets in them.

Do You Play By Subscription?Reply
Yeah, I wish subscription could be offered across state lines, then I wouldn't have to worry about sending money to my friend in Ohio who buys our tickets for us. I like the idea of being able to claim anonymously in Ohio. I kinda wish Utah had the lottery, but glad they don't. I know I would spend a lot more than I already do, so it is a good thing in the end. Plus, the anonymous thing in Ohio would trump buying tickets in Utah anyway (unless Utah had lottery and anonymous claiming available.)

It's time the lottery needs to stop releasing a person name and picture when a big win is won!Reply
Your inability to understand my point, doesn't have anything to do with me understanding reality. However, you have been given many examples of why being able to be anonymous to collect a large lottery win have been given. Furthermore you deflect by calling it whining....Your illogical idealist impaired thinking doesn't compute, just because a bunch of other ones screwed up, makes a real piss poor excuse to forgo anonymous lottery claims.

Are there any advantages to NOT being anonymous?Reply
What if it was if you win you must have the public press conference or only take 1% of the annunity amount if you want to stay anonymous, and the rest would just roll over to the next drawing...That would be like taking the 3.4 million to stay anonymous or would you throw away the 344 million annunity...LOL...If I won I'd say bring on the press conference, I have no problem saying no!

Are there any advantages to NOT being anonymous?
I always hear people talking about why lottery winners should claim anonymously (if their state allows it). But what advantages does a public winner have?

How do you change your life style without arising suspicion?Reply
You remain anonymous to the masses, but eventually friends and family will find out. Not really sure you could remain anonymous when you start buying things you shouldn't be able to afford.

Anonymous UNTIL
If you were in a state where you could claim anonymously or found a way to limit your exposure, would you consider discussing your lottery career and win-fall with the media some time after things have settled?

Should Illinois Keep Winners Anonymous?
Why is Illinois so backward on this? Notice which state's MM winner hasn't come forward yet? It's just ridiculous parading the winners in a press conference. Are they waiting for a high profile kidnapping to change the law. Write your representatives (or in Illinois buy a election campaign fund raiser ticket). Now, if I could just figure out who my representative is...

Should I Remain Anonymous with a $10K to $1 Million Win?
Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone thinks its worth the 'work' to create a blind trust and have my lawyer or financial advisors collect my winnings if its between $10,000 - $1,000,000? I'm DEFINITELY doing this when I hit a multi-million dollar jackpot, but was wondering if its worth it for a smaller win!

AnonymityReply
LottoCalGal, just a few weeks ago when that guy won the $8 million dollar jackpot they posted his story on the cal lottery website and he said he would like to remain anonymous and they didn't post his name. I always save those type of articles on my computer so just in case I win the jackpot they can't deny me the chance to stay anonymous.
