NH is one of the states that requires disclosure of name of winner UNLESS they set up a trust BEFORE they sign the ticket to claim the prize.

Other states do not allow that option while many states allow anonymous winners.

She should not have signed the ticket before reading the state's rules.

My understanding is that she called the lottery office and asked what to do. The person she spoke with told her be sure to sign the ticket and failed to tell her about the option of having a trust created.

I think that is what her lawyer is going to stress before the judge.

I suspect she will win the case.
