New Jersey lottery winner claims $1.13 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
Might Mr/Ms anonymous lottery winner have at least in part waited this long to claim their ticket precisely because their story may get pushed back in the news cycle ... ie Friday before Christmas and also the fact that their is a current mega jackpot waiting to be won? Just my $.03 on the topic.

Tipping clerks after a lottery win.Reply
I actually don't think this is a paranoid list, rather a pragmatic one. And wow that clerk is pretty entitled. I don't know how claims for scratch-off tickets work but for a prize that big I would've done it anonymous if I can.

NJ started allowing winers to remain anonymous 4 years ago. If I lived where you live, I'd make the drive over the state line to get my PB and MM tix. That's just me. What's the deal with the woman at the pharmacy? She told you the lottery is random and you told her it's rigged? Fascinating.

$180 million Powerball winners embroiled in court battle after losing $20M to financial advisorReply
US state lotteries should do more to offer independent, professional financial and legal advice to winners. The UK National Lottery is a great role model for American state lotteries to follow. Another aspect of this is the issue of anonymity. When people win large sums and are then catapulted into the limelight, it is put enormous pressure on the winners. Some states do now allow winners to remain anonymous, all other states should follow.
