What would you do if you won the lottery?Reply
I wouldn't go public. I would get a good honest lawyer before I claimed my winnings and at least try and claim through a blind trust. After that I would get independent professional financial advice.

Girl struck by lightning, wins lotteryReply
Somebody called the Ohio lottery claiming they had the winning ticket and inquired about setting up a blind trust. I've read where more people get struck by lightning than win MM jackpots but never read the odds on people waiting to validate their ticket.

$196M Ohio lottery winner trying to claim anonymously?Reply
It seems like I read a story on here a while back about a woman who got the money put into a blind trust but whose name was revealed anyway. Does that ring a bell with anyone?

Oklahoma couple claims $106M Powerball lottery jackpotReply
They should have remained anonymous using a blind trust, like the first Oklahoma Powerball jackpot winner from last year and the winner of the $400,000 Power Play in Oklahoma from a while back. They should have done their research and homework. They will regret going public soon enough....

Setting a trust for anonymity: how does it work?Reply
Here is what I know for Michigan residents regarding this subject. This is a response to my email questions on blind trusts for Mi residents. This information was emailed to me from the Michigan Lottery. The rules of Mega Millions state that any jackpot winner must release - their name and city of orgin . I don't know anything about a blind trust, that would be a question for an attorney. But a check can only be made out to either a winner or a Lottery Club . If you chose to claim your ticket

Why the sudden concern with anonymity ?Reply
guesser...it might be good for you to retrace your steps in this thread. When amsoly41 mentioned there were 10 states that allowed anonymity there was no mention of it just being for Powerball. You narrowed it down to Powerball. In order to get the true picture it would be best to include other states beyond those that offer Powerball.

Is it possible to remain anonymous in NJ through a trust or attorney?Reply
Is it possible to set up a blind trust in Georgia? I doubt it. But what I don't understand is why they would want to post your name when they know the outcome of lottery winners who are exposed to the world.
