Can you remain anonymous if you win the lottery?

[Listening5]

I was just reading about that lady who won $500 million but she is trying to remain anonymous.
Good morning 🙂

I read about this. I would want to for sure but can she? I have no idea. It’s the state’s way of advertising and they’re obviously going to oppose her choice to be anonymous. I read she’s suing them, and she won’t accept the money unless they won’t reveal her identity. I guess we’ll have to wait until we know what happens next.

[Listening5]

Thats sad, if someone wants to remain anonymous they should be allowed to keep it that way

[cheriya]

I believe that’s how it should work as well. It sucks. I

According to google , only 6 states allow you to remain anonymous. Other states probably gonna mention you on the local news and you probably would wanna be long gone before that happens

[Listening5]

Yea I would be gone too

Yeah, when you win the lottery you can either go public or stay anonymous. The media puts a lot of pressure on you to go public though.

[Listening5]

Yea it seems so

[smg1018]

I would definitely stay anonymous- I wouldn’t want creepy people wanting money from me!

[Listening5]

If they show it on the news, everybody finds out... 😪

[smg1018]

Yep, then people from nowhere will ask you for money

[ruffik]

If it's a huge prize, you might be obliged by law or the lottery rules to publicly receive the prize

[madhatters4]

depends on the state you win the lottery in a believe

[Finchie40]

Is that the girl that won 500 million , I would be happy with her even if she didn't win the money lol

[Kaylyne]

[Coconut_Man]
