$925 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot nears billion-dollar milestoneReply
If you take a minute and think about it, the 90 day anonymous law in Florida has the word COMPROMISE written all over it. 90 days is the best solution for a bill that The Florida Legislature could pass and send to The Governor's Office for signature. There were those in The Legislature that wanted complete anonymousness for the winners, but there were also other Legislators who felt total anonymousness would hurt ticket sales. Neither side could have it totally their way. So they found a com

Bill to allow Pennsylvania lottery players to claim anonymously passes unanimously in SenateReply
I think there is a tremendous amount of discrimination in the world. But the way this guy throws around the b word, attitude towards women, and the fact that he keeps changing his story, does not add up. He first referred to the bank employee as a b because she would not look out a window and validate the name of his business via a truck logo. Lol I think his issues in that case are due to his ignorance and attitude and winning the lottery would not help his attitude. He wants to buy women a

$70 million Michigan Powerball winner says lottery winners should be able to remain anonymousReply
Remember in an analysis of anonymity for a state, it is not typically just a yes or no like Maryland where it is 100% anonymous and they stress that fact. Anonymity can be limited based on a time period and/or amount won, type of game, and subject to state FOIA and similar laws. Or if a state says no to anonymity, it MAY allow you to claim via a llc or trust. And whether your name is released as the winner will also vary. So it is not just a simple yes or no answer.

$910 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot making another historic runReply
I live in a state that allows winners to claim any amount of winning anonymously. Should luck ever be on my side and I win a jackpot, I would love to be anonymous. It feels good to be worth 500M and still be able to go to the local store or restaurant without having to look over your shoulder and just blend in with everybody.

New bill in Wisconsin could allow some lottery winners to remain anonymousReply
Protecting Social Security #, give me a break. That has been in effect that I know of Federally since 1974. Many years ago my hospital employer would print out the hours an individual worked. It included your SSAN for anyone to dig through the pile to see. Yearly we had surveys to fill out which were anonymous. Said in mine if someone steals mine in violation of Federal law and I'd sue. Well they quickly gave everyone an AHS # to use and no more SSAN used. Fast forward two visits ago goi

New bill in Wisconsin could allow some lottery winners to remain anonymousReply
A winner's exemption from public disclosure under Peterman's bill includes shielding the winner's name, address, or social security number from public records requests for up to one year after the winner becomes entitled to their prize. This bill would keep the safety and security of lottery winners in mind Winners only get privacy for up to one year. A lot of lottery winners have become victims of thieves and murderers. If they really cared about a winner's safety and securi

$1.35 billion Mega Millions lottery winner suing mother of his child for revealing win to familyReply
I agree, there is more to this story. At what point did he obtain the NDA ..... before or after he told her about the win or could it of been a blanket NDA obtained at the time of support was being negotiated? How could he of known she would sign it if he told her first. So if it was before she could not disclose it to the courts in order to ask for an increase. In this day and age there is no true way to remain anonymous. Banks know, the Irs knows , your attorney...etc. All of which it onl
