You can claim anonymous for state games in Michigan and he didn't do that. To each their own I guess.......

is it possible to claim a jackpot without even the lottery knowing your identity?
on another thread a poster said something that sounded like he believes he can send a lawyer to claim a jackpot for him without even the lottery finding out who he is. this poster seems to live in a state that allows winners to remain anonymous from the public, but i don't think a jackpot winner can hide their identity from the the lottery. i could be wrong though. what do you think?

I would have sent her $500 in a check form as an anonymous donor That's just a bit problematic if the $500 was supposed to be a loan and not a gift. If that or any gift revealing who you are isn't a problem you can just mail modest amounts in the form of a postal money order (in that US, at least; I don't know about other countries' options). If you win enough you can also hire a lawyer to handle the donation. That can also be a good idea for charitable donations, so the charity can't keep

Once you ignore the people under 18 about half of the people will be married, mostly to somebody of the opposite gender

Charity in a person is a great character knowledge on how to be charitable is wise had I been in your position I would have sent her $500 in a check form as an anonymous donor with a note, handwritten by someone else in the event she could read handwriting and can tell who the person is in the note I would have expressed the $500 is to help and not to be spent for parties or drinking like I said charity is a good character to have

not so fast. not many people know what to do. 3, 2,1 a $5,000 jump in annual income could put you over your next threshold and count against you for the next 12 months and be very costly. It's hard to write posts about tax issues that aren't filled with nonsense when you misunderstand the basic concepts. Almost every state with an income tax has multiple tax brackets and regardless of which state you live in you'll also have federal taxes to deal with. Each state's brackets kic
