N.Y. lottery winner and tenant fight thiefReply
The reason anonymity is discouraged among lottery winners is to prevent another avenue of public corruption. If we passed a law allowing winners to claim their jackpots anonymously, how would we know that the lottery commissioner, the lottery director or the governor himself didn't claim that jackpot? We've had such a situation right here in Indiana. Governor Kernan served two four-year terms, at a salary of $140,000 per year. Somehow, he left office a multi-millionaire, and used part of hi
