Most states have rules that you have to declare your identity to claim the prize. So no shell corporations, LLCs, law firms, etc. allowed. AFAIK, only Delawar

Bill Ford has corporate security protecting him. Mary Barra at GM does too. They probably get whackos coming after them all the time for concealing the existence of the 100 mpg carburetor, etc.

You can transfer the ticket to the lawyer and then have a contract that says the lawyer will pay your trust $908 million. Or whatever your $1000/hr lawyer tells you to do. :)
