- yeah, apparently very few states allow you to remain anonymous. DE and OH seem to be 2 of them -- nm - decline Mar 30, 06:42
- You can work around the majority of these issues (IDK about all states) byt setting up the winning ticket as a trust or LLC. -- nm - MDH Mar 30, 06:41 3

yep. lawyer and accountant before you claim. also, i probably go to a hotel so no-one knows where i am. -- nm - Andie Mar 30, 06:36 2
- With a good enough lawyer and accountant, your name never gets released and you'll have plenty of time to sort out what you want to do. - MDH Mar 30, 06:40 1
  - i'm not sure about your laws, but, here it's on the ticket that the winner agrees to the use of their name and image, i'm pretty sure. - The Unsinkable Andie Brown Mar 30, 06:44
