  Hi, I live in New Jersey which as of 1/21/2020 allows people to claim prize anonymously.

  My question is "if you live in a state where you can claim a lottery jackpot anonymously, like NJ, should you sign ticket right away?"

  Can anyone think of a reason NOT to sign the ticket right away in an Anonymity allowing state?

  I trust by signing the back of the ticket that the payment could only be made to you. Should you and family or co-workers have an agreement ? The back of the ticket may have to be signed in the name of the trust you created, to cover that arrangement.

  Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.

  Writing and signing on the back of a ticket is good to find the owner when the ticket was lost. Information: BRD (West Germany), from many years ago.

  Think about it, you'll understand!
