Isn't rule number 1 of lottery winning like ... keep a low profile, and don't speak to any reporters? Or are these names always publicly announced anyway?
- bradlys 2y agoThey're announced publicly. It's very difficult depending on the state you're in to be completely anonymous as a winner of the lottery.
- tjohns 2y agoIt depends on the state. Some states allow winners to stay anonymous, others consider it a matter of public record. https://thehill.com/homenews/nexstar_media_wire/4531772-can-powerball-mega-millions-jackpot-winners-stay-anonymous-not-in-these-states/ https://thehill.com/homenews/nexstar_media_wire/4531772-can-...
- lazyasciiart 2y agoAs the article mentions, Oregon requires the names of lottery winners to be made public. Most states have laws like this so that it's harder to quietly rig the lottery to go to friends of yours every time.
- darylteo 2y agoAh, fair enough.
