Main reason a lottery winner shouldn’t remain anonymous:

An information-security director for a lottery vendor has been charged in a bizarre fraud case in which authorities say he purchased a lottery ticket at a Des Moines gas station in 2010 and enlisted the help of others to try to claim its $14.3 million prize...

...They also discovered Tipton rented a silver 2007 Ford Edge on Dec. 22, which matched the vehicle of the buyer of the winning lottery ticket...

So....you should punish the honest folks...for the sake of a couple criminals.

Sounds about right.....nowadays.

Here's the deal for me....Why can't the Lottery Officials...check/confirm who you are. Give you the money and give you the anonymity..that you should have...IF that is what you want.

BTW, they caught that guy because the whole thing stunk to high heaven. Not a typical case...and not a "good reason".

FWIW-
