She is creating more drama and attracting more attention when she doesn't have to.
Collect the money, officially change your name, and then disappear. |

She blew it by signing her name on the ticket.
She should of went to an attorney first to get a trust set up. The name of the trust should of been put on the ticket. Now she is screwed. The state does not care about her privacy. They only want publicity for more lotto sales at her expense. |

She should just add letters around her name, and add "trust" on the end. Then form the two trust with that name.

There would be no way she could claim the money, still live in the same place and not have people know she won it. Everyone knows were the ticket was bought and as soon as the Lambo's started being parked out in front of her double wide the locals would figure it out.
She is changing her name and moving far away no matter what. That's what I would do. 8nBAIT |

Imagine that she signed the ticket as "Mary Smith" on the back of the ticket. The trust could be "JRBX5#*Mary Smith R@X185 family trust" on the back of the ticket...just add some characters to the front and back of the signature as noted in a previous post.
However, I suspect that the State would then simply say the name of the trust, and it wouldn't be hard to figure out who won it. |

Does NH require public identity for winners?
WI does, so no matter what you use to claim the prize, it's public info. I recall hearing some states allowed anonymity. |

I don't understand why you wouldn't just sell the ticket to a hedge fund/Berkshire Hathaway for 95% of face value along with some nice anonymity clauses in a contract. They get 5% of the winnings for not a lot of work. You get a nice wire transfer and nobody but the IRS knows.

If I ever win a UUUGe Sum of money like that, I think I am going to pay off everything, but a bit more land around mine if I can, refresh my vehicles with semi-new, low mileage, decent ones, meaning not buying a 65,000 truck or car, because I can... Then figuring out how much I need to live like I do, and setting up a trust to pay me that much...
Then If/when someone asks for a handout or loan, I'll say I can't afford it it. To make sure I didn't blow it all, I put everything in a trust and it pays me my paycheck, just like a normal job would. I don't have access to all the funds... If someone gets mad or won't take that, I don't need them in my life... |

It’s her own fault for wanting to live a “modest life” after winning that much money.
If I won I wouldn’t give a shit about releasing my name. Because before I even claim the money I’ll be long gone, preparing to move into a zip code filled with wealthy people. She should collect her money and move to Palm Beach or some other rich town with $25 million mega-mansions. No one will bat an eye at her $500 million there. No need for a name-change, no need for armed guards. No one will bother you, no one will care. If her game plan is to stay in her little podunk town, she’s gonna have a bad time. |

I only hang out with 3-5 friends where I am at now, and I've known them since HS. If they wanted to come visit they could. My wife would absolutly uproot and move across the county. Has no family here anyways, and her "friends" always bail on plans with her anyways. Fuck distant relatives. If they don't have my email or cell phone, how can they find me? I'd threaten my parents with a nursing home if they ever gave my contact information out. My father is sitting on a $2mil retirement from IBM with pension so its not like they would ask me for money. Only real problem I'd face would how the fuck would I transfer from the GAARNG to the ORARNG? Hmmmmmmmm |

I always wondered what rules governed the publicity limitations. Here in PA, you have zero privacy rights... they will blast your name and town everywhere.
I wonder if you won the ticket, then moved to a privacy protecting state right away, waited 30 days or whatever, and claimed it in the new state. Since you bought it in PA, do they still release your info, or are you subject to the rules of the state in which you claimed it? |

I always get a kick out of some of the older folks who win and when they're interviewed about what they're going to do with the proceeds... they're like "gee, I really haven't given it much thought". Way to go... play the lottery and don't even think about what you would do with the winnings! What's the point of playing? For the vast majority of players, it's just a fantasy. So it does not compute to not even bother fantasizing about what you would do with any potential winnings. One old "ma and pa" couple was like "gee... I dunno. Maude could use a new fridge and I maybe would buy a new tractor". Way to give people someone to live vicariously through. A brand spanking new Frigidaire and John Deere??? SWEET!!! Where do I sign up for that crazy dream???
P.S. My "tractor" would look strangely exactly like a La Ferrari Aperta and my new fridge would be included in the purchase price of my new Prevost tour bus RV. Go big or go home!
