$1.35 billion Mega Millions lottery winner suing mother of his child for revealing win to familyReply
I assumed it was some sort of informal support and not court ordered. He could have asked the family court not to share the source of his new wealth but still disclose the amount. But by the amount, she would have figured it out. NDAs can be tricky to enforce. If the court first outed the lottery win to her, it will complicate matters. I hope he wins. We should all appreciate his efforts here. We might get some great case law to start the ball rolling again on the anonymity issue for states.

Florida man wins $10,000 lottery prize, state claims he owes moneyReply
If you owe back taxes, are a dead beat dad, have unpaid parking tickets, court judgments against you and many other types of debts don't think your state lottery isn't going to check for them first before issuing you any winnings. I once heard a story about a guy who was behind on court ordered child support payments and won $10,000 playing NY's WIN4. Imagine his shock when he was told his all of his winnings were being seized and were going to be forwarded to his ex-wife. G5
