I thought most lotteries stipulate you agree to some level of publicity if you win.
“I thought most lotteries stipulate you agree to some level of publicity if you win.”
At least one state lets you be anonymous.
Many states let a trust be the winner. So the Trust’s name is what gets publicized .You could go your whole life without relatives knowing you won the lottery if you keep your mouth shut. I think there is a natural propensity to share the information in the excitement. Then your relatives can take a hit out on you - as has been the case with several lottery winners.
I saw one expert say that you really need two trusts. One to pick it up and then you have that one hand it over to another trust.
