California Lottery accidentally publishes winner's address instead of retailer's in press releaseReply
All the more reasons for California to remain anonymous it's ridiculous. It's dangerous out here. They didn't get the memo I would be terrified to go back to that house. but buyers should have the right to remain anonymous it's OK to give information out about where the ticket was purchased at, but forget given all that information out about the winner like a blessing and a curse at the same time

15 New Jersey "Night of Millionaires" Powerball winners claim prizes of $1 million and moreReply
From a conversation I once had with a New Jersey Lottery official, winners aren't obligated to share their story or plans. Instead, the impression I got is that some winners will freely volunteer info about their experience like a hey, why not? sort of thing since they figure they can remain anonymous under state law anyway. The Lottery sure doesn't mind!

Two Canadian lotteries change privacy policies to hide winner's last names in press releasesReply
I get that lotteries want to assure the public that real people are actually winning but I see no reason why they can't set up an independent commission to verify all winners so that people can be anonymous. This day and age all you need is a name and you can go knock on the person's door. So I like that these two lotteries at least are hiding last names although if their pictures are posted that is another vulnerability

South Dakota trust claims $78 million Lotto Texas jackpot days before it expiresReply

I am wondering if other anonymous states would allow this as well. This is a new strategy to me. AI Overview A South Dakota trust can be based in Texas by separating the legal situs (governance) fr

A simple mistake led one Ohio lottery player to take a leap of faith into the dumpster before it was too late, and a $100,000 discovery made it worth the effort (and the smell).
