It won't be a secret for long. It's South Carolina - just look to see who suddenly has a shiny new set of plaster 7 Dwarves in front of the trailer, or a brand new washer and drier on the porch.
only thing i can think of is that the winner consulted a lawyer and financial advisers, and they said just wait a while and let the hype go away, then claim, and during this time, they set up everything and a way for the winner to simply just fade away, take care of things, etc, issues getting this much money would impact.
You did see that I said they would only do this if the person could prove to them they had actually won...right?
They still won't do the loan, banks cannot think "outside the box!" The bank would fear getting scammed with a bogus ticket.
First decision maker would say why do they need money, just cash the ticket! 2nd decision maker would argue they wouldn't make enough interest on the loan since it would be re-paid almost immediately so the bank would make literally nothing.
I'd definitely have contingencies in place before claiming. I'd change my number, address, and everything locally. Once I actually have the money, I'd move somewhere else where I was not known.
and it would be even more important if you're in a state that doesn't allow you to remain anonymous.
"A Thursday press release from Kurland's law firm, Rivkin Radler, said that the woman is donating to the following charities to "show her appreciation" to South Carolina and Simpsonville, the city where she purchased the winning ticket:

One S.C. Fund – for Hurricane Florence Relief
In The Middle, Columbia, S.C.
The City of Simpsonville Arts Center

This guy is the "lottery lawyer!" He has represented well over 2 billion dollars in jackpots!

Rainbow Sherbert Trust, winner of a $336.4 million Rhode Island Powerball jackpot.

I think anyone who would trust the government to make good on 30 years of payments versus a lump sum payout in any lottery is a fool.
