The woman, identified as Jane Doe, filed a complaint last week in Hillsborough Superior Court in Nashua saying she signed the back of the ticket following the Jan. 6 drawing. She then contacted a lawyer and learned that she could have shielded her identity by instead writing the name of a trust.
The New Hampshire resident says she made a huge mistake. She hasn't turned in the ticket yet. State lottery officials say they will proceed in accordance with state law, which says a lottery winner's name, town and prize amount are public information. A hearing is scheduled for Feb. 21.
No chance.......how many people would try to collect even a small amount without actually having the winning ticket!
Well, of COURSE you'd have to take the ticket in and hand it over. When they authenticate that it's a real ticket, then I believe I read they will cut a check for a few thou while they're waiting to collect the rest of the money from the other participating states.

Poor woman took the advice of (almost) every article ever written telling you to sign the ticket when you buy it.
My privacy is paramount and I think I understand how terrible she must feel.

Even if she signed the ticket, couldn't she claim the prize under the name of the trust as long as she has proof that she is the beneficiary of the trust?
With that big of a win & that much money, you could build an extremely secure "compound" and have a 24-7/365 security detail working for you. You could also have all communications/solicitations with the outside world go through an attorney. Basically you could insulate yourself from anything...oh don't forget the bulletproof Escalade SUV if you wanna leave the compound haha.

WHY?
In NYC alone there are probably a hundred people or more with a higher net worth than this lottery winner walking around the city everyday. No security, no compound, no bulletproof Escalade......
Add in Aspen, Beverly Hills, Palm Beach and suddenly there are hundreds of multi-millionaires just going about their lives.

Nope......they want to give you all your money and move on to the next winner.
