We should all have such problems:

I can't read the article. I don't blame her. Her safety is at risk when she goes public.

It's a little surprising that someone who feels this way would waste their money on playing the lottery.

I wonder if this ticket was a one-off lark thing, and she didn't really think about winning?

I thought it was common knowledge that one has to make arrangements to hide their identity for large lottery wins. Heck, I have a plan and I haven't won a thing.

Yeah 'her' safety is far more valued then other citizens. Let's give her special privilege.

The reality is: she becomes public record in filing with the courts. She has a great legal team though...how clever of them to represent her and say....Sure,let's get the courts to override the lottery rules...because you are 363 million dollars more important. (363 is the projected after tax ).

Shocker is this. Not every lottery winner is killed / murdered...matter of fact more go on living life without incident. Minus the few who went bankrupt ....

She put the cart before the horse. Claim it first then go about forming trusts and building the bunker.

$560? Am I reading this correctly? $560? A drop in the bucket. I would spend that much at the grocery store.


Edit: Never mind. I looked at the title in the link. It's $560 MILLION!

Changed/corrected title but don't think it will take.

Common? Nope. Only someone that has something to hide...hides their identity ..
Anonymity is accepted in some states....makes ya wonder though if the supposed claimant was legit.

Let's hope your plan is to live lawfully and remain humble.

We went through this in another thread.


Only a handful of states allow lottery winners to claim anonymously; everyone else must come forward publicly and toe the line *before* they get one red cent. If that means standing up at some media event grinning like an egit holding one of those huge cardboard lottery "checks"; then that is what you'll have to do, period and end of discussion.

I understand why she does not want to go public.

it would be this in reverse.
