Sign the ticket and keep a low profile.

Possibly catastrophicly bad advice. In some states if you sign the ticket you cannot remain anonymous. Also, if you want to collect the winnings in a trust for tax purposes if you signed it with a name other than the trust that might not work either. Be careful with it.

All elementary since I already have the winning ticket but for the next time you'll know.

You sign small somewhere on the ticket in case it is lost or stolen. If you like, when you sign small you can write "trustee" after your name. Then after you have set up a trust you enter the trust's name in large letters.

That's my understanding and may not be 100% correct.
