Why do so many winners allow their names to be publicly announced? I would wish to remain anonymous if possible.

It's in return for the payment. You have to be part of the lottery's publicity machine, otherwise, nobody would know someone won, and people would stop buying tickets.

No publicity, no money.

Set up a corporation or trust fund immediately after you win, or let your attorney claim the jackpot. (Sign a million notarized papers ensuring that the money is yours though)
