I wonder what happens to someone in this age range when you've lived a frugal life and, in your 50's, you are suddenly worth over a hundred million dollars.

I feel sorry for him. I hope he has help to cope with this unexpected event. He'll have to change his phone number, move, get security because the beggars come out of the woodwork.
Winning a big prize is like having a target drawn on your back.

All states should allow people to claim the prize without making their names public.

Yup. He'll have to fight off his relatives. I'd create a charitable foundation, if it were me. That would reduce the taxes on the part I chose to keep for myself, plus it would also allow whatever sector of the public I chose to focus on, to benefit. Imagine the good you could do with an amount like that! Even half the amount, after taxes! That would be a dream!
This article says, that one winner in W VA kept piles of his lottery winnings in his car, and when his car was robbed, he didn't seek a different place to stash his piles; he still carried around hundreds of thousands of dollars in his car, which was robbed a second time! I don't know why people are so foolish.
I was actually thinking about that lady when I wrote the post, but I remember one of her issues was that she signed the back of the ticket before deciding on the anonymity factor.

I read about him. Winning the lottery made him distrustful of others. He was a lovely man with a nice family before he won the lottery. Winning ruined his life.

There's good reason for not allowing anonymity ... transparency. People would be questioning the legitimacy of the lottery if they never actually saw winners.
