Posted March 13, 2018 The lady had followed the (bad) "advice" to immediately sign the back of her ticked. The NH lottery people claimed the public had an overwhelming right to know her name. Which trumped any right to privacy she might have had. The judge said "no". All they really want is the advertising value. Colorado allows anonymous claim of winnings If you win big, the first thing is to secure the ticked and find a good trust attorney. Lady wins in court Good luck!

Lady wins in court Good luck! Signature Colorado allows a trust or trustee to claim it while not disclosing the name of the ticket holder. It’s close to anonymous but not quite the same and if done incorrectly could cause headaches later. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 13, 2018 I think some lotteries pay winners a bonus for allowing their names to be published. If I won over 10 million, no bonus would be worth it. Alas, the most I've ever won was $4, so this is a moot point. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
